What to do in an emergency

TOWING

Towing service

OCDW069007
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done
by an authorized Kia dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies
(1) or flatbed is recommended.
It is acceptable to tow the vehicle
with the rear wheels on the ground
(without dollies) and the front
wheels off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or
suspension components are
damaged or the vehicle is being
towed with the front wheels on the
ground, use a towing dolly under the
front wheels.
7 38
When being towed by a commercial
tow truck and wheel dollies are not
used, the front of the vehicle should
always be lifted, not the rear.

CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle backwards
with the front wheels on the
ground as this may cause damage
to the vehicle.
• Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or
flatbed equipment.
When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies :
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC
position.
2. Place the transmission shift lever
in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parking brake.
