Kia Sedona: Emergency towing
Front
Rear
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 temporarily
towed using a cable or chain secured to the emergency towing 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 tow 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 frequently.
- Attach a towing strap to the tow hook.
- Using a portion of the vehicle other than the tow hooks for towing may damage
the body of your vehicle.
- Only use a cable or chain specifically intended for use in towing vehicles.
Securely fasten the cable or chain to the towing hook provided.
- Before emergency towing, check that the hook is not broken or damaged.
- Fasten the towing cable or chain securely to the hook.
- Do not jerk the hook. Apply it steadily and 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 5 m (16 feet) long. Attach a white or red cloth
(about 30 cm (12 inches) wide) in the middle of the strap for easy visibility.
- Drive carefully so that the towing strap is not loose during towing.
