FAQQuestions about the Stinger manual

Which Stinger years does this manual cover?

Every year from 2018 to 2023 — 6 separate manuals, one per model year. Pick your year in the selector; the manual you receive is matched to that exact year, engine and trim.

Is this the OEM Kia Stinger manual or an aftermarket guide?

The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Kia published for the Stinger, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

Does it include Stinger wiring diagrams?

Yes. Full wiring diagrams are part of every Stinger manual, alongside repair procedures, specifications and diagnostic information.

Does the manual cover Stinger recalls?

19 recalls are on federal record across the 2018–2023 Stinger, listed by year below. The manual carries the manufacturer's diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems involved; the recall repairs themselves are performed free by Kia dealers.

Why do some Stinger years cost more?

Every Stinger year is $49.99.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment, and the manual is yours to keep — unlike per-vehicle subscriptions that renew every year.

How do I get the manual after purchase?

It is a digital manual — nothing ships. Access details arrive by email right after checkout, and you can use it on any device.
