2 jaar in bezit van een Kia magentis 2.0 cvvt. km st. 90.000 km Sinds een dik 1/2 jaar brand het check engine lampje. Na een week of een lange rit gaat het vanzelf weer uit. Bij uitlezen geeft het de code STORING OP NOKKENAS, CODE P0011 aan. De Kia dealer heeft er een nieuwe nokkenas censor in gezet. Nu zou dit probleem verholpen moeten zijn. Na 2 weken ging het lampje weer branden. Na resetten (accu los) blijft het een paar dagen uit om vervolgens weer aan te springen. Heeft de dealer iets over het hoofd gezien of ligt het probleem ergens anders? Lees het hele artikel

Kia Motors Corporation expanded its corporate social responsibility activities this month by launching its Green Light Project, a global social mobility program that will seek to improve the accessibility of health and education for disadvantaged youth in ailing regions. The project’s official launch ceremony took place earlier this month at the future site of the Maendeleo Secondary School situated in the Madale area of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (East Africa). Kia Motors Corporation and SBS, a national TV and radio network in South Korea, funded the construction of the school, which will serve as the Green Light Project’s official base camp. The ceremony drew an attendance of 700 local residents and was attended by Kia Motors Corporation’s Director of Management Strategy, Mr. Gui-Hyun Choi, and Ms. Jin-Ok Yang, the Secretary General of Good Neighbors, an international humanitarian non-government organization in General Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UN ECOSOC). Good Neighbors has been collaborating with Kia Motors to execute its Green Light Project activities such as the secondary school’s construction and deployment of four donated Kia K2700 trucks, which will be retrofitted for use as school and village transportation as well as mobile libraries and health clinics. Kia plans to give USD13 million of funding for the project in the 2012 fiscal year. The Green Light Project adopts Kia Motors’ corporate social responsibility values of mobility and challenge, which were introduced last year as core principles to develop programs that will help lift social, economic, transport and health restrictions in poverty-stricken areas and give new hope to disadvantaged individuals. October is the target month for the school’s finished construction along with an adjacent community center named the Green Light Program Center. The school will consist of four classrooms, two laboratories and one library. The community center will serve as multifunctional annex and base camp for the Green Light Project’s social awareness activities, afterschool classes, material storage, and dispatch station for the four Kia K2700 trucks. All the facilities at the Maendeleo Secondary School will be in full operation starting from next year, and the goal is to have them independently operated by local community participants within the next five years. “A green light is the universal transit symbol to move forward, and as an automotive company, our Green Light Project will provide mobility to individuals in both a literal and figurative sense. Our Kia K2700 trucks will offer safe transportation to local residents who are isolated from healthcare and education services, and the Maendeleo Secondary School and its neighboring Green Light Program Center will empower individuals to challenge and move past restrictions that are keeping them from living a more fulfilling life,” said Thomas Oh, Executive Vice President and COO of Kia Motors Corporation. In addition to Kia Motors, Good Neighbors and SBS, the project is also supported by 70 volunteers from Kia’s Happy Move Global Young Volunteers, Korea’s largest private volunteer group, which rallies support for various humanitarian causes. Volunteers will help with an assortment of activities including school construction, bus stop creation, and supporting educational classes at the school. Kia plans to expand the Green Light Project to other countries and regions through the cooperation of its global network, and its next project will take place in the southeast African nation of Malawi. That program will be a cooperative project with Food for the Hungry International – Korea (KFHI), a global non-profit organization that focuses on poverty needs that relate to food, water resource development, primary healthcare and income enhancement.

The all-new Kia cee’d has been awarded a maximum 5-Star accident safety rating by Europe’s leading road safety organization, EuroNCAP. The five-door hatchback achieved high scores for Adult Occupant Protection (89%), Child Occupant Protection (88%) and Safety Assist equipment (86%), recording the maximum possible score in the dynamic element of the Child Occupant Safety test. EuroNCAP testers were also impressed with the inclusion of electronic stability control across the entire new cee’d range in Europe ahead of it becoming a compulsory test criteria. “The previous generation cee’d was the first Kia to achieve a 5-star EuroNCAP rating. In the last five years, testing criteria has become tougher, making it harder for manufacturers’ products to be awarded top marks. It is a testament to Kia’s on going commitment to vehicle safety that we are able to once again boast a high score for the cee’d,” comments Benny Oeyen, Vice President Marketing and Product Planning, Kia Motors Europe. “From the outset of the new model’s development, Kia’s engineers were dedicated to creating a car that delivers sophistication and refinement as well as the very best safety technology to protect drivers, their families and pedestrians in the event of an accident,” concludes Oeyen. Standard safety equipment fitted to the new cee’d across Europe includes six airbags (front, side and curtain), seatbelt reminders (front and rear), ESC (Electronic Stability Control), HAC (Hill Assist Control) to prevent roll-back, VSM (Vehicle Stability Management) and ESS (Emergency Stop Signal) which flashes the brake lights when the driver is making an emergency stop. The new cee’d joins five other Kia models, Rio, Venga, Soul, Sportage and Sorento, in scoring a 5-Star rating in EuroNCAP crash test results.

The world’s most famous movie franchise – 007, James Bond – will feature the Kia Optima and Sportage on the side of the good-guys when the next installment, Skyfall, opens this autumn. During filming in London sharp-eyed Kia owners spotted both models on-set dressed as British Police cars. In one shot, Daniel Craig as Bond was seen running down Whitehall followed by several Kias in full police livery and with flashing lights ablaze and sirens sounding as he chases the villain of this latest Bond movie – Hollywood A-lister, Javier Bardem. Although the plot is still very much secret it is understood that Bardem’s character tries to assassinate Bond’s boss, M, played by British actress Judi Dench. During the sequence, the Kia Optima and Sportage police cars play central action roles as the chaos unfolds and Bond and the police try to block off the central London thorough fare to trap the evil-doers! Kia Motors UK provided the cars via a “prop” company and Communications Director Stephen Kitson said: “We are very proud to have been asked to support the production crew with vehicles and to have Optima and Sportage at the heart of this part of the film. Some of our sharp-eyed customers who were in London at the time of filming saw the cars and sent pictures to our Kia-Buzz staff. The film is due to get its premiere in London in October and then to be screened around the world in the run-up to the winter holiday period.

Nowadays, ‘environmentally friendly’ and ‘green’ are becoming cliché marketing terms used by numerous brands across multiple industries. However, Kia Motors has always respected the responsibility that these terms suggest, and believes that earning non-biased and accredited environmental certifications gives our customers a reason to believe not only in our brand, but also in Mother Nature. Kia achieved an important environmental milestone this month by having three of its newest models earn renowned certifications for their minimal impact on the environment. Today, three bright researchers from our research and development center have contributed a special guest post that illustrates what it takes to earn these certificates and to be truly ‘green.’ Kia Motors earns environmental certificates from TÜV Nord Hello Kia-Buzz readers, It’s been a scorching summer with the heat wave, typhoon and all kinds of unpredictable weather phenomena happening here in Korea. Experiencing varying weather conditions brings to mind the underlying environmental issues that affect our planet’s climate such as global warming. When Kia undergoes the development of new vehicles, we pay close attention to minimizing their impact on the environment. The ability to incorporate light weight and fuel efficient technologies while avoiding heavy metals can tremendously reduce the ecological footprint of automobiles on our planet. That’s why we continue to focus on being more environmentally friendly and going beyond just saying we’re “green” by actually showing results that our environmentally conscious customers can believe in. With that said, we’re proud to announce that three new Kia vehicles have earned environmental certifications from TÜV Nord Group, the renowned independent technical inspection organization. These environmental certifications are in accordance with the environmental policies of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). They are achieved according to two major ISO standards: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based on the ISO 14040 series and Design for Environment (DfE) based on ISO 14062. We’ll explain the contents of the certifications briefly below. TÜV Nord Group is an international certification organization with more than 10,000 engineers from approximately 70 different countries and is headquartered in northern Germany. They supervise the international certification process of all industries and are well known in the automotive sector. Accordingly, many top automotive brands in Germany have their environmental certification testing conducted by TÜV Nord Group. Kia’s first TÜV Nord certification was earned in 2008 with the first generation cee’d, and this year’s certifications bring the total number of Kia models with ISO 14040 Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) certification to ten. Furthermore, both the first and second (current) generations of Kia’s cee’d C-segment vehicle for the European market have earned DfE: Design for Environment (ISO 14062) certifications, giving Kia certifications in all of major environment-related certifications from TÜV Nord. What Does Environmentally Friendly Really Mean? You might be wondering, “How can we define a standard for ‘environmental friendliness’? Is there really a clear solution to finding out if a new vehicle is ‘environmentally friendly’?” This is where the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) test comes into play. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) In order to find out the exact rate that shows the environmental improvement from newly developed vehicles, Kia Motors has been utilizing a method called LCA. The LCA inspection examines the environmental impact of both the car and its overall manufacturing process throughout the course of its lifetime, taking into account factors such as choice of materials, engine exhaust emissions and recycling. So Kia’s new product development process includes the following five major steps that cover the development, production, repair and disposal phases of all Kia vehicles. Application of an eco-friendly check-sheet throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle Utilization of 3D drawings at the design stage for verifying recyclability Breakdown of the product during the development process to verify recyclability Usage of eco-friendly materials Streamlining the manufacturing process through improvements in materials and parts design simplification Calculate the input and output amount of substances used at all steps Multiply the amount of substance by its factor for causing environmental problems Calculate the environmental impact of the product during its entire life cycle Kia Motors started applying LCA on vehicle parts in 2006, and we have building more experience over the years. What about Kia Motor’s new vehicles in 2012? Kia Motors has continued to produce attractive new vehicles in 2012, which have all utilized LCA, such as the second generation cee’d, luxury Quoris sedan; the upgraded Sorento R; and the Optima Hybrid, which will soon be available in the European market. So how much improvement does the cee’d, upgraded Sorento, and Optima Hybrid show in terms of environmental impact? Let’s take a look at the results. With great looks and technology, the cee’d has captivated the European market, and compared to the previous model, its environmental friendliness has improved significantly. For instance, its Global Warming Potential (GWP) has improved by 15.6% over the previous model. The GWP is a measurement used to show the effects that the life cycle of a product has on global warming. In other words, this means that the cee’d produces 4.5 tons less greenhouse gases than before. Acidification Potential (AP) measures the acid gases that are released into the air and potential for falling “acid rain” which is absorbed by plants, soil and surface waters leading to leaf damage that can negatively affect the growth of plants. Photochemical Oxidant Creation Potential (POCP) is the scientific term for the amount of smog created in the overall product life process. Both AP and POCP improved by 13% and 7.5%, respectively for the cee’d. The reasons for such significant gains in environmental improvement are better mileage and a reduction in exhaust gas emission. Next is the upgraded Sorento, which was released this past July. Compared to its predecessor, the Sorento also improved significantly in terms of environmental friendliness. Its Global Warming Potential improved by 10.5% and its Acidification Potential by 7.3%. The reason for its improved environmental friendliness is due to its mileage improvement and reduction of exhaust emissions. The Optima Hybrid also improved dramatically over its previous models by a whopping 24.5%, and demonstrated Kia’s excellence in hybrid technology. This means that 8.9 tons of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide have been reduced. As you can see, Kia vehicles are increasingly becoming environmentally sound, and this has been proven through LCA testing and further validated by respected organizations such as the TÜV Nord Group. Kia Motors will continue to strive for environmental sustainability and you can continue to count on us. Thank you.
