Kia Sorento: Trailer brakes

If your trailer is equipped with an independent braking system, verify that it fully complies with all regional vehicle regulations and is correctly wired, adjusted, and functioning flawlessly before every trip.

If your trailer exceeds the maximum weight threshold established for unbraked loads, it must feature its own adequate braking system. Carefully read, understand, and follow the manufacturer instructions accompanying your trailer brakes to ensure proper installation, routine adjustment, and ongoing maintenance.

Never attempt to splice into or tap directly into your Kia Sorento's primary hydraulic brake system lines.

NOTE

Trailer brakes

Do not use a trailer equipped with its own braking system unless you are completely confident that the brake controller and actuator setup have been professionally and accurately configured. Integrating trailer brake systems is complex technical work best left to experienced, competent automotive and trailer service specialists.
