[1] : dollies
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorised 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 (1) or
flatbed is recommended.
On AWD vehicles, your vehicle must
be towed with a wheel lift and dol
-
lies or flatbed equipment with all
the wheels off the ground.
The AWD vehicle should never be
towed with the wheels on the
ground. This can cause serious
damage to the transmission or the
AWD system.
On FWD vehicles, 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.
䳜 Do not tow the vehicle backwards
with the front wheels on the
ground as this may cause damage
to the vehicle.
