If emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by an
authorised Kia dealer or a commercial
tow-truck service. Proper lifting and tow
-
ing 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 wheels on the ground (without
dollies) and the front wheels off the
ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspen
-
sion 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.
僅 Do not tow the vehicle backwards
with the front wheels on the ground
as this may cause damage to the
vehicle.
僅 Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
Use wheel lift or flatbed equipment.
僅 Do not tow the vehicle with four
wheels in contact with the ground if it
is the vehicle equipped with Intelligent
Variable Transmission. Otherwise, the
transmission will be seriously dam
-
aged. Also, make sure not to tow the
vehicle connecting it with other vehi
-
cles including camper vans.
When towing your vehicle in an emer
-
gency without wheel dollies:
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC
position.
