Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Kia Borrego the same vehicle as the Mohave?
Yes. Kia marketed the HM-platform SUV as the Borrego in North America and as the Mohave in most other markets. Both names refer to the same first-generation body-on-frame vehicle, so this manual applies directly to US-market Borrego owners as well.
Which engine codes are included — does it cover the V8?
Full coverage is provided for all three powerplants: the 3.8L Lambda V6 (G6DA), the 4.6L Tau V8 (G8BE), and the 3.0L V6 CRDi diesel (D6EA). Overhaul procedures, torque specs, and timing chain service are documented for each engine code.
Does the manual cover the 4WD transfer case and front/rear differentials?
Yes. Dedicated sections address the transfer case, front and rear axle assemblies, propeller shafts, and differential service — including fluid capacities, backlash specs, and actuator diagnosis specific to the Mohave HM platform.
What format is the manual?
The manual is a PDF file delivered via instant download the moment your order is confirmed. It is fully searchable, printable, and compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android devices — no special software required beyond a standard PDF reader.
