Hitch Ball

Having the correct hitch equipment is important. Crosswinds, large trucks passing by, and poor road surfaces are several reasons why you need the correct hitch. The following rules should be observed:

• If it is necessary to make holes in the body of your vehicle when installing a trailer hitch, be sure to seal the holes later when you remove the hitch.
  If they are not sealed, deadly carbon monoxide (CO) gas from the exhaust pipe can enter the vehicle, as well as dirt and water.
• The bumpers of your vehicle are not designed for towing. Do not attach rental hitches or other bumper-type hitches to them. Use only a frame-mounted trailer hitch that does not attach to the bumper.
• A trailer hitch kit is available as an accessory from an authorized Kia dealer.
