BEFORE DRIVING
Before entering vehicle
• Be sure that all windows, outsidemirror(s), and outside lights are clean.
• Check the condition of the tires.
• Check under the vehicle for any sign of leaks.
• Be sure there are no obstacles behind you if you intend to back up.
Necessary inspections
Fluid levels, such as engine oil, engine
coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid should be checked on a regular basis,
with the exact interval depending on
the fluid. Further details are provided in L

Maintenance when trailer
towing
Your vehicle will need service more of‐
ten when you regularly pull a trailer.
Important items to pay particular at‐ tention to include engine oil, automatic
transaxle fluid, axle lubricant and cool‐
ing system fluid. Brake condition is an‐ other important item to frequently
check. Each item is covered in this man‐
ual, and the Index will help you find them quickly. If you’re trailering, it’s a
good idea to review these sections be‐
fore you start your trip.
Don’t forget to also maintain your trail‐ er and hitch. Follow the maintenance
schedule that accompanied your trailer
and check it periodically. Preferably, conduct the check at the start of each
day’s driving. Most importantly, all
hitch nuts and bolts should be tight.
CAUTION
•Due to higher load during trailerusage, overheating might occur inhot days or during uphill driving. Ifthe coolant gauge indicates over‐heating, switch off the A/C andstop the vehicle in a safe area tocool down the engine.
•When towing, check the transaxlefluid more frequently.
•If your vehicle is not equipped withan air conditioner, you should in‐stall a condenser fan to improveengine performance when towinga trailer.
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 swaycontrol. • Do not do any towing with your car
during its first 2,000 km (1,200 miles)
in order to allow the engine to prop‐
erly break in. Failure to heed this cau‐
tion may result in serious engine or transaxle damage.
• When towing a trailer, Kia recom‐ mends that you consult an author‐
ized Kia dealer/service partner on ad‐
ditional requirements such as a tow‐
ing kit, etc.
• Always drive your vehicle at a moder‐ ate speed (less than 100 km/h
(60 mph)).
• On a long uphill grade, do not exceed 70 km/h (45 mph) or the posted tow‐
ing speed limit, whichever is lower.
• The chart contains important consid‐ erations that have to do with weight:
