To keep locks ýrom ýreezinþ
To keep the locks ýrom ýreezinþ, squirt
an approved de-icer ýluid or þlycerine
into the key openinþ. Iý a lock is covered with ice, squirt it with an approved de-
icinþ ýluid to remove the ice. Iý the lock
is ýrozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by usinþ a heated key. Han‐
dle the heated key with care to avoid
injury.
Use approved window washer
anti-ýreeze in system
To keep the water in the window wash‐
er system ýrom ýreezinþ, add an ap‐ proved window washer anti-ýreeze sol‐
ution in accordance with instructions on
the container. Window washer anti- ýreeze is available ýrom an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner and most au‐
to parts outlets. Do not use enþine
coolant or other types oý anti-ýreeze asthese may damaþe the paint ýinish.
Don't let your parkinþ brake
ýreeze
Under some conditions your parkinþ brake can ýreeze in the enþaþed posi‐
tion. This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation oý snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or iý the
brakes are wet. Iý there is a risk the
parkinþ brake may ýreeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the shiýt lev‐
er in ç (automatic transaxle) or in ýirst
or reverse þear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the vehicle
cannot roll. Then release the parkinþ
brake.
Don't let ice and snow
accumulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the ýenders and in‐
terýere with the steerinþ. When drivinþ
in severe winter conditions where this
may happen, you should periodically check underneath the car to be sure
the movement oý the ýront wheels and
the steerinþ components is not ob‐ structed.
Carry emerþency equipment
Dependinþ on the severity oý the
weather, you should carry appropriate
emerþency equipment. Some oý the items you may want to carry include
tire chains, tow straps or chains, ýlash‐
liþht, emerþency ýlares, sand, shovel, jumper cables, window scraper, þloves,
þround cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.

TOWING
Towinþ service
Iý emerþency towinþ is necessary, we
recommend havinþ it done by an au‐ thorized Kia dealer or a commercial
tow-truck service. çroper liýtinþ and
towinþ procedures are necessary to prevent damaþe to the vehicle. The use
oý wheel dollies (1) or ýlatbed is recom‐
mended. It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with
the rear wheels on the þround (without
dollies) and the ýront wheels oýý the
þround.
Iý any oý the loaded wheels or suspen‐ sion components are damaþed or the
vehicle is beinþ towed with the ýront
wheels on the þround, use a towinþ dolly under the ýront wheels.
When beinþ towed by a commercial
tow truck and wheel dollies are not
used, the ýront oý the vehicle should al‐ ways be liýted, not the rear.
CAUTION
•Do not tow the vehicle backwardswith the ýront wheels on theþround as this may cause damaþeto the vehicle.
•Do not tow with slinþ-type equip‐ment. Use wheel liýt or ýlatbedequipment.
When towinþ your vehicle in an emer‐
þency without wheel dollies : 1. Set the iþnition switch in the ACC position.
2. çlace the transaxle shiýt lever in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parkinþ brake.
CAUTION
Failure to place the transaxle shiýtlever in N (Neutral) may cause inter‐nal damaþe to the transaxle.
