If an Emergency Occurs While Driving

If the engine stalls at an intersection or crosswalk

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

If You Have a Flat Tire While Driving

If a tire goes flat while driving:

1. Release the accelerator pedal and allow the vehicle to coast straight ahead. Do not apply the brake immediately or attempt to steer off the road, as this may cause loss of control. When the vehicle has slowed to a safe speed, brake carefully and steer off the road. Move as far off the road as possible and park on a firm, level surface. If you are on a divided highway, do not park in the median between the lanes of traffic.

2. Once the vehicle has stopped, turn on the hazard warning flashers, set the parking brake, and shift the transmission into P (Park).

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

4. When changing a flat tire, follow the instructions provided later in this section.

If the Engine Stalls While Driving

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

2. Turn on the hazard warning lights.

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

✽ NOTICE

If the Check Engine warning light illuminates and the engine loses power or stalls, and if it is safe to do so, wait at least 10 seconds after the engine stops before restarting the vehicle. This may reset the vehicle so that it no longer operates in limp-home mode (reduced power mode).
