Remember that trailering is different
than just driving your vehicle by itself. Trailering means changes in handling,
durability, and fuel economy. Success‐
ful, safe trailering requires correct equipment, and it has to be used prop‐
erly.
This section contains many time-tes‐
ted, important trailering tips and safety
rules. Many of these are important for your safety and that of your passen‐
gers. Please read this section carefully
before you pull a trailer.
Load-pulling components such as the engine, transaxle, wheel assemblies,
and tires are forced to work harder
against the load of the added weight. The engine is required to operate at
relatively higher speeds and under
greater loads. This additional burden generates extra heat. The trailer also
considerably adds wind resistance, in‐
creasing pulling requirements.

NOTICE
nLocation of trailer mounting
CUV
After removing rear bumper and
back beam, hitch equipment can be
installed. The rear bumper should be
reinstalled after completion of hitch
equipment installation.
Hitches
It's important to have the correct hitch
equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks going by, and rough roads are a few
reasons why you’ll need the right hitch.
Here are some rules to follow: • Do you have to make any holes in the
body of your vehicle when you installa trailer hitch? If you do, then be sure
to seal the holes later when you re‐
move the hitch.
If you don’t seal them, deadly carbon
monoxide (CO) from your exhaust can get into your vehicle, as well as
dirt and water.
• The bumpers on your vehicle are not intended for hitches. Do not attach
rental hitches or other bumper-type
hitches. Use only a frame-mounted hitch that does not attach to the
bumper.
• Kia trailer hitch accessary is available at an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
Safety chains
You should always attach chains be‐
tween your vehicle and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the
tongue of the trailer so that the tongue
will not drop to the road if it becomes separated from the hitch.
