Operation
僅 Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dolly (1)
or flatbed is recommended.
僅 On 2WD vehicles, it is acceptable to
tow the vehicle with the rear wheels
on the ground (without dollies) and
the front wheels off the ground.
INFORMATION
If emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by an autho-
rized Kia dealer or a commercial tow-
truck service.
CAUTION
僅 Do not tow the vehicle forwards with
the front wheels on the ground as this
may cause damage to the vehicle.

Operation
1. Remove the hole cover by pressing
the lower part of the cover on the
bumper.
2. Install the towing hook by screwing it
clockwise into the hole until it is fully
secured.
3. After use, remove the towing hook
and reinstall the cover.
INFORMATION
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard-surfaced roads for a short dis-
tance and at low speed. Also, the wheels,
axles, power train, steering and brakes
must all be in good condition.
僅 Do not use the tow hooks to pull a
vehicle out of mud, sand or other con-
ditions from which the vehicle cannot
be driven out under its own power.
僅 Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than
the vehicle doing the towing.
