Towing

If emergency towing is necessary, have it done by authorized Kia dealer or a commercial tow-truck service.

Towing service

dollies

Proper lifting and towing procedures are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies (1) or flatbed is recommended.

It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the rear wheel on the ground (without dollies) and the front wheels off the ground. If any of the loaded wheels or suspension components are damaged or the vehicle is being towed with the front wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly under the front wheels. When being towed by a commercial tow truck and wheel dollies are not used, the front of the vehicle should always be lifted, not the rear.

WARNING

Side and curtain Airbag

If your vehicle is equipped with side and curtain airbag, set the ENGINE START/STOP button to ACC position when the vehicle is being towed.

The side and curtain airbag may deploy when the ENGINE START/STOP button to ON position and the rollover sensor detects the situation as a rollover.

NOTICE

If the EPB does not release normally, take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer by loading the vehicle on a flatbed tow truck and have the system checked.
