What to do in an emergency
If the Vehicle Stalls Whilst
Driving
• Reduce your speed gradually,
keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
• Turn on your hazard warning flash-
er.
• Try to start the vehicle again. If
your vehicle will not start, contact
an authorised Kia dealer or seek
other qualified assistance.
If the Vehicle Stalls at a
Crossroad or Crossing
If the vehicle stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, if safe to do so, shift to the
N (Neutral) position and then push
the vehicle to a safe location.
If you Have a Flat Tyre Whilst
Driving
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driv-
ing:
• Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow
down whilst driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-
ately to slow down the vehicle, but
use the paddle shifter (left side
lever) to increase regenerative
braking control. Also, do not or
attempt to pull off the road as this
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident. When the
vehicle 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.
• When the vehicle is stopped, press
the hazard warning flasher button,
shift to P(Park), apply the parking
brake, and place the POWER but-
ton in the OFF position.
• Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
• Follow the instructions provided
later in this chapter.
