What to do in an emergency Towing
Rear
If towing is necessary, have it done
by an authorized Kia dealer or a
commercial tow truck service.
If towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily 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
only 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.
䳜 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.
䳜 Avoid towing a vehicle heavier
than the vehicle doing the towing.
䳜 The drivers of both vehicles
should communicate with each
other frequently.
CAUTION
䳜 Attach a towing strap to the tow
hook.
䳜 Using a portion of the vehicle
other than the tow hooks for
towing may damage the body of
your vehicle.
䳜 Use only a cable or chain specifi
-
cally intended for use in towing
vehicles. Securely fasten the cable
or chain to the towing hook pro
-
vided.
䳜 Accelerate or decelerate the vehi
-
cle in a slow and gradual manner
while maintaining tension on the
tow rope or chain to start or drive
the vehicle, otherwise tow hooks
and the vehicle may be damaged.
䳜 Before emergency towing, check
if the hook is not broken or dam
-
aged.
䳜 Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
䳜 Do not jerk the hook. Apply it
steadily and with even force.
䳜 To avoid damaging the hook, do
not pull from the side or at a ver
-
tical angle. Always pull straight
ahead.
