towing capacity KIA NIRO HYBRID EV 2022 Owners Manual

Towing capacity:
We do not recommend using this
vehicle for trailer towing.
Cargo capacity:
The cargo capacity of your vehicle
will increase or decrease depending
on the weight and the number of
occupants.
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit -
(1) Locate the statement "The com-
bined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX
kg or XXX lbs.'' on your vehicle's
placard.
(2) Determine the combined weight
of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight of
the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For exam-
ple, if the "XXX" amount equals
635 kg (1400 lbs.) and there will
be five 68 kg (150 lbs.) passen-
gers in your vehicle, the amount
of available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 295 kg (650 lbs).
(635-340 (5 x 68) = 295 kg or
1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)(5) Determine the combined weight
of luggage and cargo being
loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load
capacity calculated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer will
be transferred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
of your vehicle.
WARNING - Loose cargo
Do not travel with unsecured
objects in the passenger com-
partment of your vehicle (e.g.
suit cases or unsecured child
seats). These items may strike
an occupant during a sudden
stop or crash.
