WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
Towing / Changing Tires
Towing [7]
When being towed by a
commercial tow truck and wheel
dollies are not used, the front
of the vehicle should always be
lifted, not the rear.
Emergency towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend you to have it done by an
authorized Kia dealer or a commercial tow truck service.
When towing your vehicle in an emergency without wheel dollies:
1. Set the ignition switch button in the ACC position.
2. Place the transmission shift lever in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parking brake.
Changing tires [7]
1. Park on a level surface and
apply the parking brake
firmly.
2. Shift the shift lever into
R (Reverse) with manual
transmission or P (Park) with
automatic transmission.
3. Activate the hazard warning
flasher.
4. Remove the wheel lug nut
wrench, jack, jack handle, and
spare tire from the vehicle.
5. Block both the front and rear
of wheel that is diagonally
opposite the jack position.
9. Loosen the wheel nuts and
remove them with your
fingers.
10. To reinstall the wheel, hold
it on the studs, put the
wheel nuts on the studs and
tighten them finger tight.
Jiggle the tire to be sure it
is completely seated, then
tighten the nuts as much as
possible with your fingers
again.
11. Lower the vehicle to the
ground by turning the wheel
nut wrench counterclockwise.
6. Loosen the wheel lug nuts
counterclockwise one turn
each, but do not remove any
nut until the tire has been
raised off the ground.
7. Place the jack at the front (1)
or rear (2) jacking position
closest to the tire you are
changing.
8. Insert the jack handle into
the jack and turn it clockwise,
raising the vehicle until the
tire just clears the ground.
This measurement is
approximately 30 mm (1.2 in).

Checking the engine oil level [8]
Checking the washer fluid level [8]
1. Be sure the vehicle is on level
ground.
2. Start the engine and allow
it to reach normal operating
temperature.
3. Turn the engine off, remove
the oil filler cap and pull
the dipstick out. Wait for 15
minutes for the oil to return
to the oil pan.
4. Wipe the dipstick clean and
reinsert it fully.
5. Pull the dipstick out again
and check the level. Check if
the oil level is between the
F-L line, and if it is below the
L line, add enough oil to bring
the level to F line.
Use a funnel to help prevent
oil from being spilled on engine
components.
Use only the specified engine
oil. [9]
• Check the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.
• Plain water may be used if washer fluid is not available.
However, use washer solvent with antifreeze characteristics in
cold climates to prevent freezing.

For more details, please refer to your Owner’s Manual.
Checking the coolant level [8]
• Check the condition and connections of all cooling system hoses
and heater hoses. Replace any swollen or deteriorated hoses.
• The coolant level should be filled between MAX and MIN (F and
L) marks on the side of the coolant reservoir when the engine is
cool.
• When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft water for
your vehicle and never mix hard water in the coolant filled at the
factory.
• The engine in your vehicle has aluminum engine parts and
must be protected by an ethylene-glycol with phosphate based
coolant to prevent corrosion and freezing.
• Do not use alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the
specified coolant.
• Do not use a solution that contains more than 60 % antifreeze or
less than 35 % antifreeze, which would reduce the effectiveness
of the solution.
• If frequent additions are required, have the system inspected by
a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
