What to do in an emergency Towing
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 proce
-
dures are necessary to prevent
damage to the vehicle. The use of
wheel dollies (1) or flatbed is recom
-
mended.
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 com
-
ponents 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 AWD vehicles, your vehicle must
be towed with a wheel lift and dol
-
lies or flatbed equipment with all
the wheels off the ground.
The AWD vehicle should never be
towed with the wheels on the
ground. This can cause serious
damage to the transmission or the
AWD system.
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.
