Kia Opirus 2007 User manual

kia, tthe ccompany
Now that you are the owner of a Kia Vehicle, you’ll probably be
asked a lot of questions about your vehicle and the company like
“What is a Kia?,” “Who is Kia?,” “What does ‘Kia’ mean?”
Here are some answers. First, Kia is the oldest car company in
Korea. It’s a company that has thousands of employees focused
on building high-quality vehicles at affordable prices.
The first syllable, Ki, in the word “Kia” means “to arise from to
the world” or “to come up out of to the world.” The second syl-
lable, a, means “Asia.” So, the word Kia, means “to arise from”
or “to come up out of Asia to the world.”
Enjoy your Vehicle!
