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.
