What to do in an emergency

Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by an autho
-
rised 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 (1) or
flatbed is recommended.
The AWD vehicle should never be towed
with the wheels on the ground. This can
cause serious damage to the transmis
-
sion or the AWD system.
When flatbed is unavailable
2-wheel drive vehicle can be towed with
the opposite tyres on the ground (with
-
out dollies) and parking brake released.
2-wheel drive vehicle (front wheel drive)
Shift to N (Neutral) to tow a vehicle with
the tyres on the ground. For more
details, refer to "Stay in N (Neutral) posi
-
tion when engine is Off" on page 6-16.
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.
僅 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.
僅 Do not tow the vehicle backwards
with the front wheels on the ground
as this may cause damage to the
vehicle.
