IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILST DRIVING
If the engine stalls at a cross-
road or crossing
• If the engine stalls at a crossroad
or crossing, set the shift lever in the
N (Neutral) position and then push
the vehicle to a safe place.
• If your vehicle has a manual
transaxle not equipped with a igni-
tion lock switch, the vehicle can
move forward by shifting to the 2
(second) or 3 (third) gear and then
turning the starter without depress-
ing the clutch pedal.
If you have a flat tyre whilst
driving
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the car slow down
whilst driving straight ahead. Do
not apply the brakes immediately
or attempt to pull off the road as
this may cause a loss of control.
When the car has slowed to such a
speed that it is safe to do so, brake
carefully and pull off the road.
Drive off the road as far as possible
and park on firm, level ground. If
you are on a divided highway, do
not park in the median area
between the two traffic lanes.
2. When the car is stopped, turn on
your emergency hazard flashers,
set the parking brake and put the
transaxle in P (automatic transaxle)
or reverse (manual transaxle).
3. Have all passengers get out of the
car. Be sure they all get out on the
side of the car that is away from
traffic.
4. When changing a flat tyre, follow
the instruction provided later in this
section.
If engine stalls whilst driving
1. Reduce your speed gradually,
keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If
your vehicle will not start, we rec-
ommend that you consult an
authorised Kia dealer.
