Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first
turn the steering wheel right and left
to clear the area around your front
wheels. Then, shift back and forth
between R (Reverse) and any for-
ward gear. Do not race the vehicle,
and spin the wheels as little as possi-
ble. If you are still stuck after a few
tries, have the vehicle pulled out by a
tow vehicle to avoid vehicle overheat-
ing and possible damage to the
reduction gear.
✽✽
NOTICE
The ESC system should be turned
OFF prior to rocking the vehicle.
CAUTION
Prolonged rocking may cause
vehicle over-heating, reduction
gear damage or failure, and tyre
damage.
WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with
tyres designed to provide safe
ride and handling capability. Do
not use a size and type of tyre
and wheel that is different from
the one that is originally
installed on your vehicle. It can
affect the safety and perform-
ance of your vehicle, which
could lead to steering failure or
rollover and serious injury.
When replacing the tyres, be
sure to equip all four tyres with
the tyre and wheel of the same
size, type, tread, brand and
load-carrying capacity. If you
nevertheless decide to equip
your vehicle with any tyre/wheel
combination not recommended
by Kia for off road driving, you
should not use these tyres for
highway driving.
WARNING - Spinning
tyres
Do not spin the wheels, espe-
cially at speeds more than 56
km/h (35 mph). Spinning the
wheels at high speeds when the
vehicle is stationary could
cause a tyre to overheat which
could result in tyre damage that
may injure bystanders.
