Driving tips
Stalled on a steep uphill
CAUTION - Stalling
WARNING - Exiting vehicle
If your vehicle stalls and you can’t
back down the hill, try this: Set the
parking brake, put your transaxle in 1
(First) gear or P (Park), and turn the
engine off. Leave the vehicle and get
some help. If your vehicle is at an
angle to the slope of the hill, exit the
vehicle on the uphill side and stay
clear of the path the vehicle would
take if it rolled downhill. Leave it in 1
(First) gear for manual transaxle or P
(Park) for automatic transaxle.
Never attempt to turn around if
you are about to stall when
going up a hill. If the hill is steep
enough to stall your vehicle, it’s
steep enough to cause you to
roll over if you turn around. If
you can’t make it up, you must
back down the hill.
Getting out on the downhill
(low) side of a vehicle stopped
across an incline is dangerous.
If the vehicle rolls over, you
could be crushed or fatally
injured. Always get out on the
uphill (high) side of the vehicle
and stay well clear of the
rollover path.

Automotive readers have rated 2007 Kia Sportage Owners Manual 3.5 out of 5.0 based on 4 product reviews. I purchased this vehicle and needed a manual. I really can't rate what I don't have.
Haven't got it yet
it is great to have this site, thank you.
Great service. I purchased a used KIA with no manual and this answered all my questions.
Thank You
