What to do in an emergency
WARNING
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic
driving maneuvers which would
place excessive stress on the
emergency towing hook and tow -
ing cable or chain. The hook and
towing cable or chain may break
and cause serious injury or dam -
age.
If the disabled vehicle is unable to
be moved, do not forcibly con -
tinue the towing. We recommend
that you contact an authorized
Kia dealer or a commercial tow
truck service for assistance.
Tow the vehicle as straight ahead
as possible.
Keep away from the vehicle
during towing.

Use a towing strap less than 16
feet (5 m) long. Attach a white or
red cloth (about 12 inches (30 cm)
wide) in the middle of the strap
for easy visibility.
Drive carefully so that the towing
strap is not loosened during tow -
ing.
The driver must be in the vehicle
for steering and braking opera -
tions when the vehicle is towed
and passengers other than the
driver must not be allowed to be
on board.
Emergency towing precautions
Turn the ignition switch or the
ENGINE START/STOP button to
the ACC position so the steering
wheel is not locked.
Shift the gear to N (Neutral).
Release the parking brake.
Press the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will
have reduced brake performance.
