TOWING
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by an au‐ thorized 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 recom‐
mended. 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 al‐ ways be lifted, not the rear.
CAUTION
•Do not tow the vehicle backwardswith the front wheels on theground as this may cause damageto the vehicle.
•Do not tow with sling-type equip‐ment. Use wheel lift or flatbedequipment.
When towing your vehicle in an emer‐
gency without wheel dollies: 1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC position.
2. Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Failure to place the transaxle shiftlever in N (Neutral) may cause inter‐nal damage to the transaxle.

If towing is necessary, we recommendyou to have it done by an authorizedKia dealer or a commercial tow truckservice. If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be tem‐ porarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook
under the front (or rear) of the vehicle. Use extreme caution when towing the
vehicle. A driver must be in the vehicle
to steer it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done on‐ ly on hard-surfaced roads for a short
distance and at low speed. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steering and brakes must all be in good condition. • Do not use the tow hooks to pull a vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
• Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the vehicle doing the towing.
• The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other fre‐
quently.
CAUTION
•Attach a towing strap to the towhook.

• Press the brake pedal with moreforce than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
• More steering effort will be required because the power steering system
will be disabled.
• If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake per‐
formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.
CAUTION
nAutomatic transaxle
•If the car is being towed with allfour wheels on the ground, it canbe towed only from the front. Besure that the transaxle is in neu‐tral. Be sure the steering is un‐locked by placing the ignitionswitch in the ACC position. A drivermust be in the towed vehicle tooperate the steering and brakes.
•To avoid serious damage to theautomatic transaxle, limit the ve‐hicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph)and drive less than 1.5 km (1 mile)when towing.

•Before towing, check the auto‐matic transaxle for fluid leaks un‐der your vehicle. If the automatictransaxle fluid is leaking, flatbedequipment or a towing dolly mustbe used.
