What to do in an emergency
TOWING
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized Kia dealer or a commer-
cial tow-truck service. Proper lifting
and towing procedures are neces-
sary to prevent damage to the vehi-
cle. The use of wheel dollies or
flatbed is recommended.

If towing is required, lift all four wheels
off the ground and tow the vehicle. If
you must tow the vehicle using only
two wheels, lift the front wheels off the
ground and tow the vehicle.
