Driving your vehicle
Your vehicle can tow a trailer. To
identify what the vehicle trailering
capacity is for your vehicle, you
should read the information in
“Weight of the trailer” that appearslater in this section.
Remember that trailering is different
than just driving your vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in han-
dling, durability, and fuel economy.
Successful, safe trailering requirescorrect equipment, and it has to be
used properly.This section contains many time-test-
ed, important trailering tips and safe-
ty rules. Many of these are important
for your safety and that of your pas-
sengers. Please read this section
carefully before you pull a trailer. Load-pulling components such as
the engine, transaxle, wheel assem-
blies, and tyres are forced to workharder against the load of the added
weight. The engine is required to
operate at relatively higher speeds
and under greater loads. This addi-
tional burden generates extra heat.
The trailer also considerably adds
wind resistance, increasing the
pulling requirements.
✽✽
NOTICE - Location of trailer
mounting
 The mounting hole for hitches are located on both sides of the under-
body behind the rear tyres.
 Remove the under cover on the rear bumper before installing a
trailer hitch.
CAUTION
Pulling a trailer improperly can
damage your vehicle and resultin costly repairs not covered by your warranty. To pull a trailercorrectly, follow the advice inthis section.

Backing up
Hold the bottom of the steering
wheel with one hand. Then, to move
the trailer to the left, just move your
hand to the left. To move the trailer to
the right, move your hand to the
right. Always back up slowly and, if
possible, have someone guide you.
Making turns
When you’re turning with a trailer,
make wider turns than normal. Do
this so your trailer won’t strike soft
shoulders, kerbs, road signs, trees,
or other objects. Avoid jerky or sud-
den manoeuvres. Signal well in
advance.
Turn signals when towing a trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle
has to have a different turn signal
flasher and extra wiring. The green
arrows on your instrument panel will
flash whenever you signal a turn or
lane change. Properly connected,
the trailer lights will also flash to alert
other drivers you’re about to turn,
change lanes, or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green
arrows on your instrument panel will
flash for turns even if the bulbs on the
trailer are burned out. Thus, you may
think drivers behind you are seeing
your signals when, in fact, they are
not. It is important to check occasion-
ally to be sure the trailer bulbs are still
working. You must also check the
lights every time you disconnect and
then reconnect the wires.
Do not connect a trailer lighting sys-
tem directly to your vehicle’s lighting
system. Use only an approved trailer
wiring harness. Have yourself assist-
ed by a professional workshop in
installing the wiring harness. Kia recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.WARNING
Failure to use an approved trail- er wiring harness could result
in damage to the vehicle electri-
cal system and/or personal
injury.

Normal Maintenance Schedule - For Europe (Except Russia)
The following maintenance services must be performed to ensure good emission control and performance. Keep
receipts for all vehicle emission services to protect your warranty. Where both mileage and time are shown, the fre-
quency of service is deter mined by whichever occurs first.

*1Coolant (Engine)
When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft water for your vehicle and never
mix hard water in the coolant filled at the factory. An improper coolant mixture can result
in serious malfunction or engine damage.
*2Drive belts (Engine)Inspect drive belt tensioner, idler and alternator pulley and if necessary correct or replace.
*3Transaxle fluidManual transaxle fluid and dual clutch transmission fluid should be changed anytime they
have been submerged in water.
*4Engine oil and engine oil filter
Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km (350 miles) or before starting a long trip.

15,000 km or 12 months for GDI engine.
Operating with an insufficient amount of oil can damage the engine, and such damage is not cov-
ered by warranty.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Engine oil and filter The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in
the maintenance schedule. If the car
is being driven in severe conditions,more frequent oil and filter changesare required. Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil
saturation and replace if necessary.
Drive belts should be checked peri-
odically for proper tension and
adjusted as necessary. Fuel filter cartridge (for diesel) A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven,damage the emission system and
cause multiple issues such as hard
starting. If an excessive amount of for-
eign matter accumulates in the fuel
tank, the filter may require replace-
ment more frequently. After installing
a new filter, run the engine for several
minutes, and check for leaks at the
connections. Have the fuel filter
replaced by a professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.
Fuel filter (for petrol)
Kia petrol vehicle is equipped a life-
time fuel filter that integrated with the
fuel tank. Regular maintenance or
replacement is not needed but
depends on fuel quality. If there are
some important safety matters like
fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of
power, hard starting problem etc, fuelfilter inspection or replace is needed.
Have the fuel filter inspected or
replaced by a professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con- nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and dam-
age. Have the fuel lines, fuel hoses
and connections replaced by a pro-
fessional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorised Kia dealer/serv-
ice partner.
WARNING -
Diesel only
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30seconds after shutting off
engine. High pressure pump,
rail, injectors and high pressurepipes are subject to high pres-
sure even after the engine
stopped. The fuel jet produced
by fuel leaks may cause serious
injury, if it touch the body. People
using pacemakers should not
move more than 30cm closer tothe ECU or wiring harness with-
in the engine room whilst engine
is running, since the high cur-rents in the Common Rail sys-
tem produce considerable mag-netic fields.
CAUTION
When you are inspecting the belt, place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF or ACCposition.
