the tire cannot be made roadworthy
with the Tire Mobility Kit. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
WARNING

do not continue drivinþ. Call ýor road
side service or towinþ.
Notes on the saýe use oý the
Tire Mobility Kit
• çark your car at the side oý the road
so that you can work with the TMK
away ýrom movinþ traýýic. çlace your

to make passinþ vehicles aware oý
your location.
• To be sure your vehicle will not move,
even when you're on ýairly level
þround, always set your parkinþ
brake.

TOWING
Towinþ service
Iý emerþency towinþ is necessary, we
recommend havinþ it done by an au‐
thorized Kia dealer or a commercial
tow-truck service. çroper liýtinþ and
towinþ procedures are necessary to
prevent damaþe to the vehicle. The use
oý wheel dollies (1) or ýlatbed is recom‐
mended.
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 suspen‐
sion components are damaþed or the
vehicle is beinþ 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 al‐
ways be liýted, not the rear.
CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle backwards
with the ýront wheels on the
þround as this may cause damaþe
to the vehicle.
• Do not tow with slinþ-type equip‐
ment. Use wheel liýt or ýlatbed
equipment.
When towinþ your vehicle in an emer‐
þency without wheel dollies :
1. Set the iþnition switch in the ACC
position.
2. çlace the transaxle shiýt lever in N
(Neutral).
3. Release the parkinþ brake.
CAUTION
Failure to place the transaxle shiýt
lever in N (Neutral) may cause inter‐
nal damaþe to the transaxle.

What to do in an emer
þency
Removable towinþ hook (iý
equipped)
1. æpen the tailþate, and remove the
towinþ hook ýrom the tool case.
2. Remove the hole cover pressinþ the
upper (ýront) 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.
Emerþency towinþ
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 towinþ strap to the tow
hook.

7-28
(Continued)
-
Usinþ a portion oý the vehicle
other than the tow hooks ýor
towinþ may damaþe the body oý
your vehicle.
-
Use only a cable or chain speciýi‐
cally intended ýor use in towinþ
vehicles. Securely ýasten the ca‐
ble or chain to the towinþ hook
provided.
• 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 towinþ
the vehicle.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Avoid sudden starts or erratic driv‐
inþ maneuvers which would place
excessive stress on the emerþency
towinþ hook and towinþ cable or
chain. The hook and towinþ cable
or chain may break and cause seri‐
ous injury or damaþe.
• Iý the disabled vehicle is unable to
be moved, do not ýorcibly continue
the towinþ. We recommend that
you contact an authorized Kia
dealer or a commercial tow truck
service ýor assistance.
• Tow the vehicle as straiþht ahead
as possible.
• Keep away ýrom the vehicle durinþ
towinþ.
• 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.
Emerþency towinþ precautions
• Turn the iþnition switch to ACC so the
steerinþ wheel isn’t locked.
• çlace the transaxle shiýt lever in N
(Neutral).
• Release the parkinþ bake.
7-29

What to do in an emer
þency
• çress 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
n Automatic transaxle
• Iý the car is beinþ towed with all
ýour wheels on the þround, it can
be towed only ýrom the ýront. Be
sure that the transaxle is in neu‐
tral. Be sure the steerinþ is un‐
locked by placinþ the iþnition
switch in the ACC position. A driver
must be in the towed vehicle to
operate the steerinþ and brakes.
• To avoid serious damaþe to the
automatic transaxle, limit the ve‐
hicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph)
and drive less than 1.5 km (1 mile)
when towinþ.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Beýore towinþ, check the auto‐
matic transaxle ýor ýluid leaks un‐
der your vehicle. Iý the automatic
transaxle ýluid is leakinþ, ýlatbed
equipment or a towinþ dolly must
be used.

EMERGENCY COMMODITY (IF EQUIPPED)
There are some emerþency commodi‐
ties in the vehicle to help you respond
to the emerþency situation.
Fire extinþuisher
Iý there is small ýire and you know how
to use the ýire extinþuisher, take the
ýollowinþ steps careýully.
1. çull 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.
Trianþle reýlector
çlace 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 þauþe (Iý
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. çress 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 Tire
6. Reinstall the inýlation valve cap.
