If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend you have it done by an
authorized Kia dealer or a com-
mercial tow truck service.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-
ing hook under the front (or rear) of
the vehicle. Use extreme caution
when towing the vehicle. A driver
must be in the vehicle to steer it and
operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.
• Do not use the towing hooks to pull

a vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.

• Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than

the vehicle doing the towing.

• The drivers of both vehicles should

communicate with each other fre-
quently.

• Attach a towing strap to the towing

hook.

• Using a portion of the vehicle other

than the tow hooks for towing may
damage the body of your vehicle.

• Use only a cable or chain specifical-

ly intended for use in towing vehi-
cles. Securely fasten the cable or
chain to the towing hook provided.

• Before emergency towing, check

that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.

• Fasten the towing cable or chain

securely to the hook.

• Do not jerk the hook. Apply it

steadily with even force.

• To avoid damaging the hook, do not

pull from the side or at a vertical
angle. Always pull straight ahead.

• Use a towing strap less than 16

feet (5 m) long. Attach a white or
red cloth (about 12 inches (30 cm)
wide) in the middle of the strap for
easy visibility.

• Drive carefully so that the towing

strap is not loosened during tow-
ing.

What to do in an emergency

Emergency towing precautions

• Turn the ignition switch to ACC so

the steering wheel isn’t locked.

• Place the transaxle shift lever in N

(Neutral).

• Release the parking brake.
• Press the brake pedal with more

force than normal since you will
have reduced brake performance.

• More steering effort will be

required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.

• If you are driving down a long hill,

the brakes may overheat and brake
performance will be reduced. Stop
often and let the brakes cool off.

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 transmission is in neutral. Be
sure the steering is unlocked by plac-
ing the ignition switch in the ACC
position. A driver must be in the
towed vehicle to operate the steering
and brakes.

CAUTION

- Automatic

transaxle

• To avoid serious damage to

the Automatic transaxle, limit
the vehicle speed to 10mph
(15km/h) and drive less than
1mile (1.5km/h) when towing.

• Before towing, check for an

Automatic transaxle fluid leak
under your vehicle. If the
Automatic transaxle fluid is
leaking, a flatbed equipment
or towing dolly must be used.

• Wash the undercarriage of your

vehicle regularly during the win-
ter and whenever your vehicle has
been exposed to such salts or
chemicals.

• Do a thorough washing of the

undercarriage at the end of the
winter.

• Use professional service techni-

cians or governmental inspection
stations to annually inspect for
corrosion.

• Immediately seek an inspection of

your vehicle if you become visual-
ly aware of corrosion flaking or
scaling or if you become aware of
a change in vehicle performance,
such as soft or spongy brakes, flu-
ids leaking, impairment of direc-
tional control, suspension noises
or rattling metal straps.
NHTSA further advises that after
a vehicle is 7 years old, it is essen-

OWNER MAINTENANCE

The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per-
formed by the owner or an author-
ized Kia dealer at the frequencies
indicated to help ensure safe,
dependable operation of your vehi-
cle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your deal-
er as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance Checks
are generally not covered by war-
ranties and you may be charged for
labor, parts and lubricants used.

Owner maintenance schedule

When you stop for fuel:

• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the coolant level in coolant

reservoir.

• Check the windshield washer fluid

level.

• Look for low or under-inflated tires.

While operating your vehicle:

• Note any changes in the sound of

the exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.

• Check for vibrations in the steering

wheel. Notice any increased steer-
ing effort or looseness in the steer-
ing wheel, or change in its straight-
ahead position.

• Notice if your vehicle constantly

turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when traveling on smooth, level
road.

• When stopping, listen and check

for unusual sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or “hard-to-push” brake pedal.

• If any slipping or changes in the

operation of your transaxle occurs,
check the transaxle fluid level.

• Check the automatic transaxle P

(Park) function.

• Check the parking brake.
• Check for fluid leaks under your

vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).

WARNING

- Hot coolant

Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. Scalding hot
coolant and steam may blow
out under pressure.
