WARNING - Jacked vehicle
While the full-time 4WD vehicle is
being raised on a jack, never startthe engine or cause the tires to
rotate.
There is the danger that rotating
tires touching the ground could
cause the vehicle to go off the jack
and to jump forward.WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with tires
designed to provide safe ride and
handling capability. Do not use a
size and type of tire and wheel that
is different from the one that is
originally installed on your vehicle.
It can affect the safety and perform-
ance of your vehicle, which could
lead to steering failure or rollover
and serious injury. When replacing
the tires, be sure to equip all fourtires with the tire and wheel of the
same size, type, tread, brand and
load-carrying capacity. If you never-
theless decide to equip your vehi-
cle with any tire/wheel combination
not recommended by Kia for off
road driving, you should not use
these tires for highway driving.
WARNING - Rollover
As with other Sports Utility Vehicle
(SUV), failure to operate this vehi-
cle correctly may result in loss of
control, an accident or vehicle
rollover.
Utility vehicles have a significant- ly higher rollover rate than other
types of vehicles.
Specific design characteristics (higher ground clearance, nar-
rower track, etc.) give this vehicle
a higher center of gravity than
ordinary vehicles.
A SUV is not designed for corner- ing at the same speeds as con-
ventional vehicles.
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more like-
ly to die than a person wearing a
seat belt. Make sure everyone in
the vehicle is properly buckledup.

Full-time 4WD vehicles must be testedon a special four wheel chassis
dynamometer.
Part-time 4WD vehicles must be tested
on a 2WD roll tester with the transfershift knob in the 2H position.
✽✽ NOTICE
Never engage the parking brake while
performing these tests.
A full-time 4WD vehicle should not be tested on a 2WD roll tester. If a 2WD
roll tester must be used, perform the
following: 1. Check the tire pressures recommend-
ed for your vehicle.
2. Place the rear wheels on the roll tester for a speedometer test as shown in the
illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the front wheels on the tempo- rary free roller as shown in the illustra- tion.
WARNING - Dynamometer testing
Keep away from the front of the
vehicle while the vehicle is in gear
on the dynamometer. This is very
dangerous as the vehicle can jump
forward and cause serious injury ordeath.

TOWING
F080100AHM-EE
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by an author-
ized Kia dealer or a commercial tow-truck
service. Proper lifting and towing proce-
dures are necessary to prevent damage
to the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies orflatbed is recommended. On full-time 4WD vehicles, your vehicle
must be towed with a wheel lift and dol-lies or flatbed equipment with all the
wheels off the ground.
On 2WD or part-time 4WD (2H position)
vehicles, it is acceptable to tow the vehi-
cle with the front wheels on the ground(without dollies) and the rear wheels off
the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspen- sion components are damaged or the
vehicle is being towed with the rear
wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly
under the rear wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used, the
rear of the vehicle should always be lift-ed, not the front.
OHM068016
CAUTION
The full-time 4WD vehicle should
never be towed with the wheels onthe ground. This can cause serious
damage to the transmission or the4WD system.
dolly2WD or part-time 4WD (2H position) vehicles only
CAUTION
Do not tow with sling-type equip-
ment. Use wheel lift or flatbedequipment.
Do not tow the vehicle forward with the rear wheels on theground as this may cause dam-
age to the vehicle.
OHM068017
OHM068018

What to do in an emergency
When towing your vehicle in an emer- gency without wheel dollies :
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC posi-tion.
2. Place the transmission shift lever in N (Neutral).
3. For part-time 4WD vehicle, set the transfer shift knob to 2H.
4. Release the parking brake.
F080300AHM
Emergency towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by an authorized
Kia dealer or a commercial tow truck
service.If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be tem-
porarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook
under the front 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 dis-
tance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
Do not use the tow hooks to pull a vehi-
cle out of mud, sand or other condi-
tions 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 frequent-
ly.
OHM068013LCAUTION
Failure to place the transmission
shift lever in N (Neutral) and thetransfer shift knob for part-time
4WD operation to 2H may causeinternal damage to the transmis-sion.

Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel econo my by reducing
the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s
time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
