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

If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by an authorized Kia
dealer or a commercial tow truck service.

•
Attach a towing strap to the tow hook.
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.
