Driving your vehicle
CAUTION
僅 Any part of the rear number plate or
lighting devices of the vehicle must
not be obscured by the mechanical
coupling device. If the rear number
plate and/or lighting devices can be
obscured partially by any part of the
mechanical coupling device, mechani-
cal coupling devices that can not be
easily removed or repositioned with-
out use of any tool, except an easily
operated (i.e. an effort not exceeding
20 N・m) release key which is supplied
by the manufacturer of the coupling
device, are not permitted for
use. Please note that the mechanical
coupling device that is fitted and not
in use must always be removed or
repositioned if the rear number plate
and/or rear lighting devices are
obscured by any part of the mechani-
cal coupling device.
僅 Pulling a trailer improperly can dam-
age your vehicle and result in costly
repairs not covered by your warranty.
To pull a trailer correctly, follow the
advice in this section.
NOTICE
僅 The mounting hole for hitches are
located on both sides of the under-
body behind the rear tires.
僅 For Europe
- The technically permissible maxi-
mum load on the rear axle(s) may
be exceeded by not more than 15%
and the technically permissible
maximum laden mass of the vehi-
cle may be exceeded by not more
than 10% or 100 kg (220.4 lbs),
whichever value is lower. In this
case, do not exceed 100 km/h (62.1
mph) for vehicle of category M1 or
6 194
80 km/h (49.7 mph) for vehicle of
category N1.
- 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
100km/h, and the rear tire pressure
should be at least 20 kPa(0.2 bar)
above the tire pressure(s) as rec-
ommended for normal use (i.e.
without a trailer attached).
* M1: passenger vehicle (9-seater or
under)
* N1: commercial vehicle (3.5 ton or
under)
Hitches
It is important to have the correct hitch
equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks
going by, and rough roads are just a few
reasons why you will need the right
hitch. Here are some rules to follow:
僅 Do you have to make any holes in the
body of your vehicle when you install
a trailer hitch? If you do, be sure to
seal the holes when removing the
hitch later.
If you don't seal them, dirt and water
can get into your vehicle.
僅 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.
僅 Kia trailer hitch accessory is available
at an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
