The three-step programme under Kia Care promises complete sanitisation of the vehicle. The first step includes proper cleaning and disinfecting the entire vehicle with a top wash for the exterior, followed by cleaning the interior with special attention to the frequently touched surfaces including the steering wheel, door handles, gear lever. The company uses an anti-microbial solution and fumigation of the car to neutralise anti-bacterial properties. The Vehicle Hygiene Programme will be applicable for two weeks at the company's service centres.
