The following are important points if you decide to tow a trailer:

  • Consider using a sway control. You can ask the hitch seller about sway control systems.
  • Do not tow a trailer during the first 2000 km (1200 miles) of vehicle operation to ensure proper engine break-in. Failure to observe this caution may result in serious engine or transmission damage.
  • When towing a trailer, it is recommended that you consult an authorized Kia dealer about additional requirements, such as a towing kit, etc. • Always drive at a moderate speed (less than 100 km/h).
  • On long uphill grades, do not exceed a speed of 70 km/h or the specified towing speed limit, whichever is lower.
  • The table contains important weight considerations:
