Subaru Forester: Trailer towing / Warranties and maintenance
SUBARU warranties do not apply to
vehicle damage or malfunction caused by
trailer towing. If you use your vehicle to tow
a trailer, more frequent maintenance will
be required due to the additional load.
(Refer to “Maintenance schedule under
severe driving conditions” in the “Warranty
and Maintenance Booklet”.)
Under no circumstances should a trailer be
towed with a new vehicle or a vehicle with
any new powertrain component (engine,
transmission, differential, wheel bearings,
etc.) for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
driving.
WARNING
Never exceed the maximum load
limits explained in the following.
Exceeding the maximum load limits
could cause personal injury and/or
vehicle damage...

TIP
If the rear temperature, rear fan speed, or rear mode is adjusted directly via the rear climate control panel, those specific settings will override previous configurations and operate independently, regardless of the current status of the front Kia Telluride climate control system...
Towing a trailer with your Kia Telluride requires practice and careful preparation. Before beginning a long trip, spend time becoming familiar with how the vehicle responds with the additional weight of the trailer. Acceleration, braking, cornering, and overall handling will feel different than when driving without a trailer, and your combined vehicle length will require extra attention in all driving situations...
