Tie-Down Hook (For Flatbed Towing) - Kia Sorento 2006 Owner's Manual

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
On 2WD vehicles, it is acceptable to
tow the vehicle with the front wheels
on the ground (without dollies) and
the rear wheels off the ground.
When being towed by a commercial
tow truck and wheel dollies are not
used, the rear of the vehicle should
always be lifted, not the front.

position.
2. Place the transmission shift lever
in N (Neutral).

✽ ✽ NOTICE
Failure to place the transmission
shift lever in N (Neutral) and the
transfer shift knob for part-time

sion.
