Questions
Where can I get the Kia Soul owner's manual?
Kia publishes owner's manuals on its official owner site (owners.kia.com). Choose the Soul and your model year, or sign in with your VIN so the manual matches your trim.
Is the manual the same for every Soul year?
No. Manuals are written for each model year and the Soul spans 2010–2025. Equipment, infotainment and maintenance intervals change between years and generations, so always use the edition for your year.
How do I check recalls on a Kia Soul?
Use the recall checker on this page, which searches NHTSA's recall database by model year. Recalls apply to specific VINs, so confirm with a Kia dealer or at nhtsa.gov/recalls using your 17 character VIN.
