TOWING

Towing service

If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized Kia dealer or a commer-
cial tow-truck service. Proper lifting
and towing procedures are neces-
sary to prevent damage to the vehi-
cle. The use of wheel dollies or
flatbed is recommended.

For trailer towing guidelines informa-
tion, refer to “Trailer towing” in sec-
tion 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 sus-
pension 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 normal-
ly, we recommend taking your vehi-
cle to an authorized Kia dealer by
loading the vehicle on a flatbed tow
truck and have the system checked.

CAUTION

• Do not tow the vehicle back-

wards with the front wheels on
the ground as this may cause
damage to the vehicle.

• Do not tow with sling-type

equipment. Use wheel lift or
flatbed equipment.
