Emergency towing
Front
Rear
If towing is necessary, we recom
-
mend you to have it done by an
authorised Kia dealer or a commer
-
cial tow truck service.
If towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency
towing hook under the front (or
rear) of the vehicle. Use extreme
caution when towing the vehicle. A
driver must be in the vehicle to
steer it and operate the brakes.
