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.

8-35

What to do in an emer

þency

Removable towing hook (if

equipped)

1. Open the tailþate, and remove the

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)

• 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.

What to do in an emerþency

8-38

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‐

ing on page 8-35.

(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.

8-39

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

and wheels on paþe 10-09.

6. Reinstall the inýlation valve cap.
