The trailer tow package supports a trailer plug that allows use of electricity without an adapter, as this package is equipped with an electrical connector near the trailer hitch assembly.

There may be loss of trailer lights during towing if there is a problem with the trailer wiring or if the lights connected to the trailer output consume excessive electrical power. If this happens, a red trailer mode icon appears. Fix the wiring problem or reduce the number of lights connected to the trailer output, and then turn the trailer mode off and on again to resolve the issue.

WARNING

  • It is the driver's responsibility to check before trailer towing that all electrical connections are working, all trailer lights are working as expected, and the braking system is fully operational. The vehicle does not detect an incorrect electrical connection. All electrical connections must be manually inspected. Failure to do so may result in accidents, property damage, injury, or death.

  • Use only electrical connectors designed by Kia. Never attempt to manually splice or connect the trailer's electrical wiring using a method other than the method specified by Kia. Doing so may damage the vehicle's electrical systems, causing them to malfunction.

  • If moisture enters the trailer connector (socket), serious malfunctions, such as poor electrical contact, corrosion, or short circuit, may occur. To ensure the safety and longevity of the product, be sure to follow these instructions:

    • Completely close the connector cover when the product is not in use.

    • If any foreign matter (such as dust or mud) or moisture is found inside the connector or on the terminal, immediately clean and dry it completely before use.

    • Visually inspect the connector-installed area and the terminal regularly to check for any abnormalities, such as discoloration, corrosion, or moisture condensation.

    • If moisture or corrosion is found, replace the connector. Reusing the connector may result in a safety hazard.

    • Damage caused by moisture may not be covered under the product warranty.

NOTE

Always check that the trailer's electrical cables are not touching the ground or dragging on the ground and that there is enough slack in the cables to allow for rotation.
