2009 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.
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.
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.)
WARNING - Snow  tire size
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.
WARNING - Weight limits
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 use the parking brake if it might
freeze. When parking, shift to  P (Park)
with an  automatic transaxle and  block
the rear wheels.
Do not  install  studded tires  without first
checking local, state and municipal regu-
lations  for  possible  restrictions  against
their use.
