If towing is necessary, we recom
-
mend you to have it done by an
authorised Kia dealer or a commer
-
cial tow truck service.
If towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency
towing hook under the front (or
rear) of the vehicle. Use extreme
caution when towing the vehicle. A
driver must be in the vehicle to
steer it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speed.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.
䳜 Do not use the tow hooks to pull a
vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its
own power.
䳜 Avoid towing a vehicle heavier
than the vehicle doing the towing.
䳜 The drivers of both vehicles
should communicate with each
other frequently.
䳜 Attach a towing strap to the tow
hook.
䳜 Using a portion of the vehicle
other than the tow hooks for
towing may damage the body of
your vehicle.
