2018 KIA STONIC load capacity

TRAILER TOWING (FOR EUROPE)
If you are considering towing with your
car, you should first check with your
country’s Department of Motor Vehi‐ cles to determine their legal require‐
ments.
Since laws vary the requirements for
towing trailers, cars, or other types of vehicles or apparatus may differ. Kia
recommends to ask an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
WARNING
nTowing a trailer
If you don't use the correct equip‐ment and drive improperly, you canlose control when you pull a trailer.For example, if the trailer is tooheavy, the brakes may not work well- or even at all. You and your pas‐sengers could be seriously or fatallyinjured. Pull a trailer only if you havefollowed all the steps in this section.
WARNING
nWeight limits
(Continued)
(Continued)
Before towing, make sure the totaltrailer weight, gross combinationweight, gross vehicle weight, grossaxle weight and trailer tongue loadare all within the limits.
NOTICE
nFor Europe
•The technically permissible maxi‐
mum load on the rear axle(s) may
be exceeded by not more than
15 % and the technically permissi‐
ble maximum laden mass of the
vehicle may be exceeded by not
more than 10 % or 100 kg
(220.4 lbs), whichever value is low‐
er. In this case, do not exceed
100 km/h (62.1 mph) for vehicle of
category M1 or 80 km/h
(49.7 mph) for vehicle of category
N1.

(Continued)
•When towing a trailer, the addi‐
tional load imposed at the trailer
coupling device may cause the
rear tire maximum load ratings to
be exceeded, but not by more
than 15%. In such a case, do not
exceed 100 km/h, and the rear tire
pressure should be at least 20 kPa
(0.2 bar) above the tire pressure(s)
as recommended for normal use
(i.e. without a trailer attached).
CAUTION
Pulling a trailer improperly can dam‐age your vehicle and result in costlyrepairs not covered by your warran‐ty. To pull a trailer correctly, followthe advice in this section.
Your vehicle can tow a trailer. To identi‐
fy what the vehicle trailering capacity is for your vehicle, you should read the in‐
formation in L

Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery. • If the battery becomes discharged in a short time (because, for example,the headlights or interior lights were
left on while the vehicle was not in
use), recharge it by slow charging
(trickle) for 10 hours.
• If the battery gradually discharges because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge it
at 20-30A for two hours.
WARNING
nRecharging battery
When recharging the battery, ob‐serve the following precautions:•The battery must be removedfrom the vehicle and placed in anarea with good ventilation.
•Do not allow cigarettes, sparks, orflame near the battery.
•Watch the battery during charg‐ing, and stop or reduce the charg‐ing rate if the battery cells begingassing (boiling) violently or if thetemperature of the electrolyte ofany cell exceeds 49°C (120°F).
•Wear eye protection when check‐ing the battery during charging.
•Disconnect the battery charger inthe following order.1.Turn off the battery chargermain switch.
2.Unhook the negative clampfrom the negative battery ter‐minal.
3.Unhook the positive clamp fromthe positive battery terminal.
WARNING
•Before performing maintenance orrecharging the battery, turn off allaccessories and stop the engine.
•The negative battery cable mustbe removed first and installed lastwhen the battery is disconnected.
•Operation related to the battery isrecommended to be done by aprofessional workshop. Kia recom‐mends to visit an authorized Kiadealer/service partner.
CAUTION
•Keep the battery away from wa‐ter or any liquid.
•For your safety, use parts for re‐placement from a professionalworkshop. Kia recommends to visitan authorized Kia dealer/servicepartner.
Reset items
Items should be reset after the battery
has been discharged or the battery has been disconnected. • Auto up/down window

❈Left side : Normal Right side : Blown
A vehicle’s electrical system is protec‐
ted from electrical overload damage by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, the others in the engine com‐ partment near the battery.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, accesso‐
ries, or controls do not work, check the
appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has blown, the element inside the fuse will
melt.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, discon‐ nect the negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with one
of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indi‐
cates an electrical problem. Avoid using the system involved and immediately
consult a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to consult an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car‐
tridge type, and multi fuse for higher amperage ratings.
WARNING
nFuse replacement
•Never replace a fuse with anythingbut another fuse of the same rat‐ing.
•A higher capacity fuse could causedamage and possibly a fire.
•Never install a wire or aluminumfoil instead of the proper fuseeven as a temporary repair. It maycause extensive wiring damageand a possible fire.
•Do not arbitrarily modify or add-on electric wiring of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any oth‐er metal object to remove fuses be‐cause it may cause a short circuitand damage the system.
