Kia Sorento (MQ4, 2021-2026) Owner's Manual / Introduction / Vehicle Handling Instructions and Rollover Precautions

As with any modern midsize SUV or crossover vehicle, failing to operate your Kia Sorento responsibly and within safety limits can result in a loss of steering control, severe collisions, or vehicle rollover accidents.

Distinct design features, such as elevated ground clearance and a wider track width, give the Kia Sorento a higher center of gravity compared to standard two-wheel-drive sedans or low-slung passenger cars. Because of this higher center of gravity, this vehicle is not engineered to negotiate tight turns or sharp corners at the same speeds as conventional passenger cars.

Always avoid sharp, high-speed steering maneuvers, sudden swerving, and abrupt evasive actions. Improper driving habits or overcorrecting can lead to an unexpected loss of traction, vehicle instability, or rollover accidents.

Be sure to thoroughly read the safety recommendations regarding reducing the risk of a rollover detailed in your owner manual.
