What to do in an emergency
TOWING
On full-time 4WD vehicles, your vehicle
must be towed with a wheel lift and dol-
lies or flatbed equipment with all the
wheels off the ground.
CAUTION
The full-time 4WD vehicle should
never be towed with the wheels on
the ground. This can cause serious
damage to the transmission or the
4WD system.

2WD or part-time 4WD (2H position) vehicles only
On 2WD or part-time 4WD (2H position)

Towing service
If any of the loaded wheels or suspen-
sion components are damaged or the
vehicle is being towed with the rear
wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly
under the rear wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used, the
rear of the vehicle should always be lift-
ed, not the front.

CAUTION
If emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by an author-
ized KIA dealer or a commercial tow-
truck service. Proper lifting and towing
procedures are necessary to prevent
damage to the vehicle. The use of wheel
dollies or flatbed is recommended.
• Do not tow with sling-type equip-
ment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.
• Do not tow the vehicle forward
with the rear wheels on the
ground as this may cause dam-
age to the vehicle.
For trailer towing guidelines information,
refer to “Trailer towing” in section 5.
