If an Emergency Occurs While Driving

In an emergency while the vehicle is moving, you can turn off the engine and shift it to the ACC position by pressing the ENGINE START/STOP button for more than 2 seconds or 3 times in succession within 3 seconds. If the vehicle is still moving, you can restart the engine without depressing the brake pedal by pressing the ENGINE START/STOP button when the shift lever is in N (Neutral) (with Smart Key).

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. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and allow the vehicle to travel straight. Do not apply the brakes immediately or attempt to leave the road, as this may result in loss of control. When the vehicle has slowed to a safe speed, carefully apply the brakes and steer off the road. Drive as far from 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. When the vehicle has stopped, turn on the hazard warning lights, apply the parking brake, and shift the transmission to P (Intelligent Variable Transmission) or R (manual transmission).

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.
