• Attach a towing strap to the tow
hook.
• Use only a cable or chain specifical-
ly intended for use in towing vehi-
cles. Securely fasten the cable or
chain to the towing hook provided.
• 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.
• Before emergency towing, check if
the hook is not broken or damaged.
• Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
• Do not jerk the hook. Apply it
steadily and with even force.
• To avoid damaging the hook, do not
pull from the side or at a vertical
angle. Always pull straight ahead.
CAUTION
Using a portion of the vehicle
other than the tow hooks for
towing may damage the body of
your vehicle.

ing the vehicle.

chain may break and cause
serious injury or damage.

unable to be moved, do not
forcibly continue the towing.
We recommend that you con-
tact an authorized Kia dealer

service for assistance.
• Tow the vehicle as straight
ahead as possible.
