What to do in an emergency
TOWING
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies
or flatbed is recommended.It is acceptable to tow the vehicle
with the front wheels on the ground
(without dollies) and the rear wheels
off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or sus-
pension 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 lifted, not the front.
Ensure any metal parts on the tie-
down straps do not contact painted
surfaces or the face of the wheels.
Do not place straps over the body panels or through the wheels.

Attaching straps to the chasis,
suspension or other parts of
the body can cause damage.
CAUTION
Side and curtain air bag
If your vehicle is equipped with
side and curtain air bag, set the
ignition switch to LOCK or ACC
position when the vehicle is
being towed. The side and cur-
tain air bag may deploy when
the ignitions is ON, and the
rollover sensor detects the situ-
ation as a rollover.

Failure to place the shift lever in
N (Neutral) may cause internal
damage to the transaxle.
CAUTION
If the ECS malfunction indicator
illuminates when there is no air
in the suspension, the vehicle
height will be very low, so do not
drive the vehicle to protect it
from projections on the ground.
Take your vehicle to an author-
ized K900 Kia dealer by towing
the vehicle and have the system
checked. You should tow the
vehicle as shown the picture.

Maintenance
(Continued)
• 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 essential that
you take these indicated mainte-
nance steps to ensure that you pro-
tect yourself from unsafe corro-
sion conditions.Owner maintenance precau-
tions
Improper or incomplete service may
result in problems. This section gives
instructions only for the maintenance
items that are easy to perform.
As explained earlier in this section,
several procedures can be done only
by an authorized K900 Kia dealer
with special tools.
