8.1 Towing and Transportation
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 or flatbed
is
recommended
.
In
the event of an accident, the high voltage system must be disabled. The high voltage
plug
must
be removed from the high voltage battery according to one of the methods described
in
page
11-13 to disable the vehicle.
Towing
the NIRO PHEV Vehicle is not
different
from towing a conventional FWD vehicle.
