  • We have a hyudai elantra, so yes it is a manual trans and yes key on, all accessories off. Depends on what you have as options. When we towed ours 1st time battery was dead at 1st stop. Added a charge line and no issues since. The Hyundai company is the owner of kia so the 2 vehicles are basically the same.

    By key on I mean in accessory position so the wheel is unlocked. I had the wiring kit installed that uses diodes to keep the lights operated by the coach.
  • When we looked at the '15 Souls, we were told that only the base model with a manual transmission can be towed.

    Is that what you have?
  • What instructions does the Owners Manual have for "Recreational Towing"?
    Does the steering lock? If not, there is probably no need to put the switch in the ACC position!
