Kia Sorento: Safety chains

Always establish a secure secondary connection using heavy-duty safety chains between your Kia Sorento and the trailer. Cross the safety chains in an X-pattern underneath the trailer tongue so they form a cradle capable of catching the tongue and preventing it from striking the pavement should the primary hitch coupling fail.

Specific instructions regarding safety chain rating, length, and attachment methods may be provided directly by the trailer hitch or trailer manufacturer; always follow their technical recommendations. Adjust the chains to leave just enough slack to allow smooth turning maneuvers without binding, while ensuring the chains never drag or scrape against the road surface.
