If you do decide to pull a trail-
er
Here are some important points if you
decide to pull a trailer:
• Consider using a sway control. You
can ask a hitch dealer about sway
control.
• 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, be sure to con-
sult an authorized Kia dealer for fur-
ther information on additional require-
ments such as a towing 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:
