What to do in an emergency

TOWING

Towing service

If emergency towing is necessary, we

recommend having it done by an author-

ized Kia dealer or a commercial tow-truck

service. Proper lifting and towing proce-

dures are necessary to prevent damage

to the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or

flatbed is recommended.

It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the

rear wheels on the ground (without dol-

lies) 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 lift-

ed, not the rear.

CAUTION

• Do not tow with sling-type equip-

ment. Use wheel lift or flatbed

equipment.

• Do not tow the vehicle backwards

with the front wheels on the

ground as this may cause dam-

age to the vehicle.
