Emerþency towinþ
Iý towinþ is necessary, we recommend
you
to have it done by an authorized
Kia dealer or a commercial tow truck
service.
Iý towinþ service is not available in an
emerþency, your vehicle may be tem‐
porarily towed usinþ a cable or chain
secured to the emerþency towinþ hook
under the ýront (or rear) oý the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towinþ the
vehicle. A driver must be in the vehicle
to steer it and operate the brakes.
Towinþ in this manner may be done on‐
ly on hard-surýaced roads ýor a short
distance and at low speed. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steerinþ and
brakes must all be in þood condition.
• Do not use the tow hooks to pull a
vehicle out oý mud, sand or other
conditions ýrom which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
• Avoid towinþ a vehicle heavier than
the vehicle doinþ the towinþ.

communicate with each other ýre‐
quently.
