If emergency towing is necessary, we recommend having it done by an authorized Kia dealer or a commercial tow-truck service. Proper lifting and towing procedures are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or flatbed is recommended.
For trailer towing guidelines information, refer to “Trailer towing” in chapter 5.
It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels on the ground (without dollies) and the front wheels off the ground. If any of the loaded wheels or suspension components are damaged or the vehicle is being towed with the front wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly under the front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow truck and wheel dollies are not used, the front of the vehicle should always be lifted, not the rear.
✽ NOTICE
If the EPB does not release normally, we recommend taking your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer by loading the vehicle on a flatbed tow truck and have the system checked.
CAUTION
When towing your vehicle in an emergency without wheel dollies :
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC position.
2. Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Failure to place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral) may cause internal damage to the transaxle.
