Kia Carens: Trailer Towing / Trailer brakes

Kia Carens RP (2013-2018) Owners Manual / Driving your vehicle / Trailer Towing / Trailer brakes

If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to your country’s regulations and that it is properly installed and operating correctly.
