Towing
If emergency towing is necessary, have
it done by authorized Kia dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Towing service
1. dollies
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 wheel 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. 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.
On FWD vehicles, it is acceptable to tow
the vehicle with the rear wheels on the
ground (without dollies) and the front
wheels off the ground.
Side and curtain air bag
If your vehicle is equipped with side and
curtain air bag, set the ENGINE START/
STOP button to ACC position when the
vehicle is being towed.
The side and curtain air bag may deploy
when the ENGINE START/STOP button
to ON position and the rollover sensor
detects the situation as a rollover.
If the EPB does not release normally,
take your vehicle to an authorized Kia
dealer by loading the vehicle on a flat
-
bed tow truck and have the system
checked.
Towing
僅 Do not tow the vehicle backwards
with the front wheels on the ground,
as this may cause damage to the
transmission.
僅 Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
Use wheel lift or flatbed equipment.
