IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILE DRIVING
If the engine stalls at a
crossroad 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 you have a flat tire while
driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the car slow down
while 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 care‐
fully 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 vehicle is stopped, turn
on your emergency hazard flash‐
ers, set the parking brake and put
the shift lever in P (Park).
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 tire, follow
the instruction provided later in If
you have a flat tire on page 6-14.
If the engine stalls while driving
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keep‐
ing a straight line. Move cautiously
off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If
your vehicle does not start, consult
a professional workshop. Kia rec‐
ommends to consult an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
