If an Emergency Occurs While Driving

If the Engine Stalls at an Intersection or Crossing

If the engine stalls at an intersection or crossing, shift the gear lever to the N (Neutral) position, then push the vehicle to a safe place.

If a Tire Goes Flat While Driving

If a tire goes flat while driving:

1. Release the accelerator pedal and allow the vehicle to slow down while keeping it in a straight line. Do not apply the brakes immediately or attempt to leave the road, as this may cause loss of control. When the vehicle has slowed to a safe speed, carefully apply the brakes and pull off the road. Move off the road as far as possible and park on firm level ground. If you are on a divided highway, do not park in the median between the two lanes of traffic.

2. When the vehicle has stopped, turn on the hazard warning lights, set the parking brake, and shift the transmission to P.

3. Ask all passengers to exit the vehicle. Make sure they all exit on the side of the vehicle away from traffic.

4. When replacing a flat tire, follow the procedure described later in this section.

If the Engine Stalls While Driving

1. Gradually reduce speed while keeping the vehicle in a straight line. Carefully move off the road to a safe location.

2. Turn on the hazard warning lights.

3. Try starting the engine again. If your vehicle does not start, contact an authorized Kia dealer or other qualified assistance.

✽ NOTICE

If the Check Engine light comes on and power is lost or the vehicle stops, and if it is safe to do so, wait at least 10 seconds before restarting the vehicle after stopping. This may reset the vehicle so that it will not start again in limp home mode.

Emergency Stop Sign

✽ NOTICE

The warning triangle is optional depending on the country of sale.

Use

• Keep this warning triangle in the most accessible location in the vehicle, such as the luggage compartment or another location of your choice.
• Always check for the presence and location of the emergency stop sign before driving the vehicle.

Installation

Remove the warning triangle from the case and extend the left and right wings to form the triangle shape. Cross the wings over each other and secure them in the coupler slot.

Extend the 4 legs from the bottom of the warning triangle to support it.

Place the warning triangle at a specified distance behind your vehicle so that an approaching vehicle driver can easily see your vehicle.

CAUTION

For your safety, watch for nearby passing vehicles when you set up the emergency stop sign.
