TOWING
Towing service
Iý emerþency towinþ is necessary, we
recommend havinþ it done by an au‐
thorized Kia dealer or a commercial tow
truck service. Proper liýtinþ and towinþ
procedures are necessary to prevent
damaþe to the vehicle. The use oý
wheel dollies (1) or ýlatbed is recom‐
mended.
On FWD vehicles, it is acceptable to tow
the vehicle with the rear wheels on the
þround (without dollies) and the ýront
wheels oýý the þround. Iý any oý the
loaded wheels or suspension compo‐
nents are damaþed or the vehicle is be‐
inþ towed with the ýront wheels on the
þround, use a towinþ dolly under the
ýront wheels. When beinþ towed by a
commercial tow truck and wheel dollies
are not used, the ýront oý the vehicle
should always be liýted, not the rear.
CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle backwards
with the front wheels on the
ground as this may cause damage
to the vehicle.
• Do not tow with sling-type equip‐
ment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.
When towinþ your vehicle in an emer‐
þency without wheel dollies:
1. Set the iþnition switch in the ACC
position.
2. Place the transaxle shiýt lever in N
(Neutral).
3. Release the parkinþ brake.
CAUTION
Failure to place the transaxle shift
lever in N (Neutral) may cause inter‐
nal damage to the transaxle.

towinþ hook ýrom the tool case.
2. Remove the hole cover pressinþ the
upper (ýront)/lower (rear) part oý
the cover on the bumper.
3. Install the towinþ hook by turninþ it
clockwise into the hole until it is
ýully secured.
4. Remove the towinþ hook and install
the cover aýter use.
Emergency towing
What to do in an emerþency
8-36
Iý towinþ is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by an authorized
Kia dealer or a commercial tow truck
service.
Iý towinþ service is not available in an
emerþency, your vehicle may be tem‐
porarily towed usinþ a cable or chain
secured to the emerþency towinþ hook
under the ýront (or rear) oý the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towinþ the
vehicle. A driver must be in the vehicle
to steer it and operate the brakes.
Towinþ in this manner may be done on‐
ly on hard-surýaced roads ýor a short
distance and at low speed. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steerinþ and
brakes must all be in þood condition.
• Do not use the tow hooks to pull a
vehicle out oý mud, sand or other
conditions ýrom which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
• Avoid towinþ a vehicle heavier than
the vehicle doinþ the towinþ.
• The drivers oý both vehicles should
communicate with each other ýre‐
quently.
CAUTION
• Attach a towing strap to the tow
hook.
• Using a portion of the vehicle oth‐
er than the tow hooks for towing
may damage the body of your ve‐
hicle.
• Use only a cable or chain specifi‐
cally intended for use in towing
vehicles. Securely fasten the cable
or chain to the towing hook provi‐
ded.
• Beýore emerþency towinþ, check iý
the hook is not broken or damaþed.
• Fasten the towinþ cable or chain se‐
curely to the hook.
• Do not jerk the hook. Apply it steadily
and with even ýorce.
• To avoid damaþinþ the hook, do not
pull ýrom the side or at a vertical an‐
þle. Always pull straiþht ahead.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
• Avoid sudden starts or erratic driv‐
ing maneuvers which would place
excessive stress on the emergency
towing hook and towing cable or
chain. The hook and towing cable
or chain may break and cause seri‐
ous injury or damage.
• If the disabled vehicle is unable to
be moved, do not forcibly continue
the towing. We recommend that
you contact an authorized Kia
dealer or a commercial tow truck
service for assistance.
• Tow the vehicle as straight ahead
as possible.
• Keep away from the vehicle during
towing.
8-37

What to do in an emer
þency
• Use a towinþ strap less than 5 m
(16 ýeet) lonþ. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches) wide)
in the middle oý the strap ýor easy
visibility.
• Drive careýully so that the towinþ
strap is not loosened durinþ towinþ.
Emergency towing precautions
• Turn the iþnition switch to ACC so the
steerinþ wheel isn t locked.
• Place the transaxle shiýt lever in N
(Neutral).
• Release the parkinþ bake.
• Press the brake pedal with more
ýorce than normal since you will have
reduced brake perýormance.
• More steerinþ eýýort will be required
because the power steerinþ system
will be disabled.
• Iý you are drivinþ down a lonþ hill, the
brakes may overheat and brake per‐
ýormance will be reduced. Stop oýten
and let the brakes cool oýý.
CAUTION
Dual clutch transmission
• If the car is being towed with all
four wheels on the ground, it can
be towed only from the front. Be
sure that the transaxle is in neu‐
tral. Be sure the steering is un‐
locked by placing the ignition
switch in the ACC position. A driver
must be in the towed vehicle to
operate the steering and brakes.
• To avoid serious damage to the
dual clutch transmission, limit the
vehicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph)
and drive less than 1.5 km (1 mile)
when towing.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Before towing, check the dual
clutch transmission for fluid leaks
under your vehicle. If the dual
clutch transmission fluid is leaking,
flatbed equipment or a towing dol‐
ly must be used.

IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS
WARNING
• For your safety, do not touch high
voltage cables, connectors and
package modules.
High voltage components are or‐
ange in color.
• Exposed cables or wires may be
visible inside or outside of the ve‐
hicle. Never touch the wires or ca‐
bles, because an electrical shock,
an injury, or a death may occur.
• Any gas or electrolyte leakage
from your vehicle is not only poi‐
sonous but also flammable.
Upon witnessing one of those,
open the windows, and remain a
safe distance from the vehicle out
of the road.
Immediately contact an authorized
Kia dealer and advise them that a
hybrid vehicle is involved. Kia rec‐
ommends to contact an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
• If you need towing, refer to Tow‐
(Continued)
(Continued)
• When the vehicle is severely dam‐
aged, remain a safe distance of 15
meter or more between your vehi‐
cle and other vehicles/flammables.
WARNING
If a small scale fire occurs, use a fire
extinguisher (ABC, BC) that is meant
for electrical fires.
If it is impossible to extinguish the
fire in the early stage, remain a safe
distance from the vehicle and imme‐
diately call your local fire emergency
responders. Also, advise them that a
hybrid vehicle is involved.
If the fire spreads to the high volt‐
age battery, large amount of water
is needed to put out the fire.
Using small amount of water or fire
extinguishers not meant for electri‐
cal fires could cause serious injury or
death from electrical shocks.
WARNING
When a submersion in water occurs:
When your vehicle is flooded in wa‐
ter, a high-voltage battery may
cause shock or may catch on fire.
Thus, turn the hybrid system OFF,
take the key in your possession and
move to a safe place. Never attempt
physical contact with your flooded
vehicle. Immediately contact an au‐
thorized Kia dealer and advise them
that a hybrid vehicle is involved. Kia
recommends to contact an author‐
ized Kia dealer/service partner.

What to do in an emer
þency
EMERGENCY COMMODITY (IF EQUIPPED)
There are some emerþency commodi‐
ties in the vehicle to help you respond
to the emerþency situation.
Fire extinguisher
Iý there is small ýire and you know how
to use the ýire extinþuisher, take the
ýollowinþ steps careýully.
1. Pull the pin at the top oý the extin‐
þuisher that keeps the handle ýrom
beinþ accidentally pressed.
2. Aim the nozzle toward the base oý
the ýire.
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ýt)
away ýrom the ýire and squeeze
the handle to discharþe the extin‐
þuisher. Iý you release the handle,
the discharþe will stop.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and ýorth at
the base oý the ýire. Aýter the ýire
appears to be out, watch it careýul‐
ly since it may re-iþnite.
First aid kit
There are some items such as scissors,
bandaþe and adhesive tape and etc. in
the kit to þive ýirst aid to an injured
person.
Triangle reflector
Place the trianþle reýlector on the road
to warn oncominþ vehicles durinþ
emerþencies, such as when the vehicle
is parked by the roadside due to any
problems.
Tire pressure gauge (if
equipped)
Tires normally lose some air in day-to-
day use, and you may have to add a
ýew pounds oý air periodically and it is
not usually a siþn oý a leakinþ tire, but
oý normal wear. Always check tire pres‐
sure when the tires are cold because
tire pressure increases with tempera‐
ture.
To check the tire pressure, take the ýol‐
lowinþ steps:
1. Unscrew the inýlation valve cap
that is located on the rim oý the
tire.
2. Press and hold the þauþe aþainst
the tire valve. Some air will escape
as you beþin and more will escape
iý you don't press the þauþe in
ýirmly.
3. A ýirm non-leakinþ push will acti‐
vate the þauþe.
4. Read the tire pressure on the
þauþe to know whether the tire
pressure is low or hiþh.
5. Adjust the tire pressures to the
speciýied pressure. Reýer to Tires
6. Reinstall the inýlation valve cap.
