Remove the propeller shaft if it is
necessary to exceed 50km/h (31
mph) and/or 25km (16 miles). If the
drive shaft cannot be removed, stop
every 25km (16 miles) and start the
engine. Allow the engine to idle for a
few minutes. This will ensure that
the transmission is sufficiently lubri-
cated.

CAUTION
Use extreme caution when tow-
ing the vehicle.
• Avoid sudden starts or erratic
driving maneuvers which
would place excessive stress
on the emergency towing

cable or chain may break and
cause serious injury or dam-
age.
• If the towing vehicle can hard-
ly move, do not forcibly con-
tinue the towing. Contact an
Authorized Kia dealer or a
commercial tow truck service
for assistance.
• Tow the vehicle as straight
ahead as possible.
• Keep away from the vehicle
during towing.
