Yes, the Curt 56157 T-Connector is designed for the Kia Rio Sedan. The manual provides step-by-step installation instructions specific to this vehicle model.
The Curt 56157 is a T-Connector wiring harness for the Kia Rio Sedan. It allows you to connect trailer lighting to your vehicle's existing taillight circuits. The harness includes a converter box and connectors that integrate with your vehicle's factory taillight wiring.
The manual does not specify whether battery disconnection is required. Contact Curt Technical Support at 1-877-287-8634 for guidance on this step.
You must remove the trunk floor coverings, the rear scuff panel (by pulling out at the bottom then up), and the plastic fasteners holding the felt trunk liner in place on both sides of the trunk. These items are reinstalled after installation is complete.
On the driver's side, pull out the trunk liner to locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors. Separate the connector from the taillight housing carefully, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the passenger side using the T-Connector end with the green wire.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the eyelet of the white ground wire using the screw provided with the kit.
Drilling is required only if a suitable existing grounding point (such as a screw with nut in the vehicle's frame) is not available. If drilling is necessary, you will drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire eyelet using the provided screw.
Drill a 3/32" hole to secure the eyelet of the white ground wire using the screw provided.
Locate a flat spot in the trunk area and adhere the black converter box to the frame of the vehicle using the double-sided tape provided in the kit.
Route the T-Connector end with the green wire to the passenger side behind the trunk liner and removed scuff panel. Use the provided cable ties to secure any loose wires. When in use, route the 4-flat connector out from under the felt trunk liner to the center of the vehicle. When not in use, roll it up and store in an out-of-the-way location.
Do not exceed the product's load rating or the tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. The Curt 56157 has the following limits: Signal Circuits: 3.0 Amps; Tail/Running Light Circuits: 7.5 Amps. Exceeding these limits can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potentially fire. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for your vehicle's lamp load rating.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface will not be damaged. This precaution avoids damage to vehicle components and personal injury.
