In case of an emergency
If  towing  service is  not  available  in  an
emergency,  your  vehicle  may  be   tem-
porarily  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.

Towing in this manner may  be done only
on  hard-surfaced roads  for a  short  dis-
tance   and  at   low   speeds.  Also,   the
wheels, axles,  power train, steering  and
brakes must all be in good condition.

Install  the  towing  hook  by  turning  it
clockwise into  the  hole until  it is  fully
secured (2).
Remove  the  towing  hook  and install
the cover after use.
Do  not  use  the  tow  hooks to  pull  a
vehicle out of mud,  sand or other con-
ditions from  which  the vehicle  cannot
be driven out under its own power.
Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the
vehicle doing the towing.
The drivers of both vehicles should com-
municate with each other frequently.

NOTICE
Towing with a vehicle other than
a tow truck
If  towing  is  necessary, we  recommend
you to have it done  by an authorized Kia
dealer or a commercial tow truck service.
Using  a  portion of  the  vehicle  other
than  the  tow  hooks  for towing  may
damage the body of your vehicle.
Use only  a cable  or chain specifically
intended  for  use  in  towing  vehicles.
Securely fasten  the  cable or  chain to
the towing hook provided.
