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.
