#225 of 274 Re: WHAT ?!?! No LOCKING GAS CAP available? [sorento_luvr] by nwagner Nov 10, 2005 (1:24 pm)
Replying to: sorento_luvr (Nov 03, 2005 4:42 pm) Yes there is one available. Fram makes it and it is carried in Checker Parts and Autozone or you local eqivalent of these. Bought one for my 2003 that I just recently sold. Had no emmission/check engine light problems w/ use. Make sure it clicks 1-2 times after securing.

Replying to: dennisu1 (Oct 17, 2005 11:26 am) Dennis   I am a factory trained Salesperson at a Kia dealership in Wisconsin. Everything that I have ever been told is that the Kia Sorento cannot be flat-towed . Due to the fact that the 4x4 system is an electronic-control on-demand four-wheel-drive system, there is no neutral selection switch on the transfer case. The only way to flat-tow a Sorento is to disconnect the drive shaft from the transfer case . Otherwise you will have to get a flat-bed car trailer to lug the Sorento around. The only SUV on the market that can effectively be flat towed without running up the odometer or without added stress to the transmission and transfer case is the Jeep line-up. That's hard for me to say being a Kia dealer ...but thems the facts!!   Best of luck in your searching for the perfect vehicle to tow behind your RV .
#227 of 274 air suspension on 05 Sorento EX by ray kelly Nov 19, 2005 (9:03 am)
I have the Sorento and a small motorcycle. I also have a motorcycle carrier that fits my 2" receiver. That puts about 400 lbs on the hitch behind my rear bumper. Kia offered a rear air ride option on the 05 and earlier models. Is the air ride difficult to install? will it fit on my Kia? Will it solve my overloaded rear problem?   Ray Kelly Replies to this message: beyond_help (Nov 19, 2005 9:41 am)

Replying to: ray kelly (Nov 19, 2005 9:03 am) you might find the OEM KIA kit (if available, very expensive)   so try this site.   http://www.truckspring.com/airsprings/airlift/app/kia.asp
#229 of 274 Auxliary Lights by koko Nov 20, 2005 (1:27 pm)
I am going to install a set of Lightforce lights to the front the Kia on a westin bar. I want them to come on with the High beams. Does anyone know which wire/colour of wire that I should tie into? This power source will be for the relay trigger only and I will take power directly from the battery to operate the lights. I guess I could just jump in behind the headlights with a tester and be done with it but I thought if someone knew it would save me some time. Thanks
#230 of 274 factory "Fog Lights" by 1bohica Dec 01, 2005 (12:26 pm)
are these available for a Sorento?? Looking for the ones that fit in the factory mounting holes on front bumper cover. Had "Dealer Issues" with use of non-OEM parts (threatened to void entire life of warranty with remote stater and alarm system). So I'm looking for something OEM Replies to this message: phoenixrider (Dec 12, 2005 11:05 am)

Replying to: lok888 (Oct 19, 2005 12:04 pm) From what I understood, the trailer hitch KIA provided was only rated to 3500 lbs. Get any aftermarket trailer hitch for the Sorento, and it's rated beyond that. The Sorento is a full framed vihicle. 5000 lbs towing is certainly within its limits

Replying to: 1bohica (Dec 01, 2005 12:26 pm) I think everytime a dealer threatens your warranty if you go with something non-OEM, they should be fined 1000 bucks! It's just plain stupid. Now, if you install something aftermarket, and it screws up the car, and it can be proven to be the aftermarket item, then of course the warranty on that item could be voided (say, frying the computer while trying to hook up the auto start)
#233 of 274 kia 05 Sorrento by wayne211 Dec 29, 2005 (8:18 am)
I have a Sorrento (05) with auto start. Can anyone tell me where the Manual for operation can be bought? Replies to this message: lok888 (Dec 30, 2005 7:48 am)
#234 of 274 Re: kia 05 Sorrento [wayne211] by lok888 Dec 30, 2005 (7:48 am)
Replying to: wayne211 (Dec 29, 2005 8:18 am) Did your dealer give you one? Is this dealer installed or factory installed? How about the owner manual? It covers a good part of the keyless remote entry system. Not sure about the auto start part. What features that you don't understand?
