If you do decide to pull a trailer
Here are some important points if you
decide to pull a trailer:
• Consider using a sway control.You can
ask a hitch dealer about sway control.
• Do not do any towing with your car dur-
ing its first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) in
order to allow the engine to properly
break in. Failure to heed this caution
may result in serious engine or
transaxle damage.
• When towing a trailer, be sure to con-
sult an authorized Kia dealer for further
information on additional requirements
such as a towing kit, etc.
• Always drive your vehicle at a moder-
ate speed (less than 100 km/h (60
mph)).
• On a long uphill grade, do not exceed
70 km/h (45 mph) or the posted towing
speed limit, whichever is lower.
• The chart contains important consider-
ations that have to do with weight:
