2008 Kia Sedona Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
WINTER DRIVING
TRAILER TOWING
We  recommend  that  you  carry  emer-
gency equipment, including a window
scraper,  windshield  de-icer,  a  bag  of
sand or salt, flares, a small shovel and
jumper cables.
Make  sure  you  have  sufficient  ethyl-
ene-glycol coolant in the radiator.
Check   the    battery    condition   and
cables. Cold temperatures reduce the
capacity of any battery, so it must be in
excellent condition to provide enough
winter starting power.
Make  sure  the  engine  oil  viscosity  is
suitable for cold weather.
Check  the  ignition  system   for  loose
connections and damage.
Use  antifreeze-formulated  windshield
washer   fluid.   (Do   not  use   engine
coolant antifreeze.)
Do not use the parking brake if it might
freeze. When parking, shift to P (Park)
with an automatic transaxle and block
the rear wheels.
Snow tires  
WARNING - Towing a trail-
er
If  you  mount  snow  tires   on  your  Kia,
make  sure  they  are  radial  tires  of  the
same size and load range as the original
tires. Mount snow tires on all four wheels
to balance your vehicle’s handling in all
weather conditions. Keep in mind that the
traction  provided  by  snow  tires  on  dry
roads may not be as high as your vehi-
cle's original equipment tires. You should
drive cautiously even when the roads are
clear. Check with the tire dealer for max-
imum speed recommendations.
If you don't use the correct equip-
ment and drive improperly, you can
lose control when you pull a trailer.
For  example,  if   the  trailer  is  too
heavy, the brakes may not work well
- or even at all.   You and your pas-
sengers could be seriously or fatal-
ly injured.  Pull a trailer only if you
have  followed  all  the  steps  in  this
section.
WARNING - Snow  tire size
WARNING - Weight limits
Snow tires should be equivalent in
size and type to the vehicle's stan-
dard tires. Otherwise, the safety and
handling  of  your   vehicle  may  be
adversely affected.
Before towing,  make sure the total
trailer  weight,   gross  combination
weight, gross vehicle weight, gross
axle weight and trailer tongue load
are all within the limits.
Do not install studded tires without first
checking local, state and municipal regu-
lations  for  possible  restrictions  against
their use.
