TOWING

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. Provincial and local laws applica-
ble to towing vehicles must be fol-
lowed. As a general rule, towed vehi-
cles should be pulled with the driving
wheels off the ground. If excessive
damage or other conditions prevent
towing the vehicle with the driving
wheels of the ground, use wheel dol-
lies.

On 4WD Vehicles, it is recommended
that your vehicle be towed with a
wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equip-
ment with all the wheels off the
ground.

It is recommended that your vehicle
be towed with a wheel lift or flatbed
equipment. Do not tow with a sling-
belt. Our company has not approved
a slingbelt towing procedure.
