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 vehi- cle during 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 fur-
ther information on additional require-
ments such as a towing kit, etc.
Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate 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.
