IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILST DRIVING
If you have a flat tyre whilst
driving
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driv-
ing:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the car slow down
whilst driving straight ahead. Do
not apply the brakes immediately
or attempt to pull off the road as
this may cause a loss of control.
When the car has slowed to such
a speed that it is safe to do so,
brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on firm, level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes.
2. When the car is stopped, turn on
your emergency hazard flashers,
set the parking brake and put the
transaxle in P (automatic
transaxle) or reverse (manual
transaxle).
3. Have all passengers get out of the
car. Be sure they all get out on the
side of the car that is away from
traffic.
4. When changing a flat tyre, follow
the instruction provided later in
this section.
If engine stalls whilst driving
1. Reduce your speed gradually,
keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If
your vehicle will not start, contact
an authorised KIA dealer or seek
other qualified assistance.
