Towbar hitches
It's important to have the correct towbar
hitch equipment. Crosswinds, large
trucks going by, and rough roads are a
few reasons why you'll need the right
towbar hitch. Here are some rules to fol-
low:
• Do you have to make any holes in the
body of your vehicle when you install a
trailer towbar hitch? If you do, then be
sure to seal the holes later when you
remove the towbar 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 towbar hitches. Do not
attach rental towbar hitches or other
bumper-type towbar hitches. Use only
a frame-mounted towbar hitch that
does not attach to the bumper.
• KIA trailer towbar hitch accessory is
available at an authorised KIA dealer.
