Kia Cee'd: Emergency towing / Emergency towing precautions
- Turn the ignition switch to ACC so the
steering wheel isn’t locked.
- Place the transaxle shift lever in N
(Neutral).
- Release the parking brake.
- Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
- More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system
will be disabled.
- If you are driving down a long hill, the
brakes may overheat and brake performance
will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.
CAUTION - Automatic
transaxle / Double clutch
transmission
- If the car is being towed with all
four wheels on the ground, it can
be towed only from the front. Be
sure that the transaxle is in neutral.
Be sure the steering is
unlocked by placing the ignition
switch in the ACC position. A driver
must be in the towed vehicle to
operate the steering and brakes.
- To avoid serious damage to the
automatic transaxle, limit the
vehicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph)
and drive less than 1.5 km (1
mile) when towing.
