What to do in an emergency
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILE DRIVING
If the engine stalls at a crossroad
or crossing
If you have a flat tire while driving If engine stalls while driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
• If the engine stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.
1.Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
and let the car slow down while driving
straight ahead. Do not apply the brakes
immediately or attempt to pull off the
road as this may cause a loss of con-
trol. When the car has slowed to such
a speed that it is safe to do so, brake
carefully and pull off the road. Drive off
the road as far as possible and park on
firm, level ground. If you are on a divid-
ed highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If your
vehicle does not start, we recommend
that you consult an authorized Kia
dealer.
• If your vehicle has a manual transaxle
not equipped with a ignition lock
switch, the vehicle can move forward
by shifting to the 2 (second) or 3 (third)
gear and then turning the starter with-
out depressing the clutch pedal.
2.When the vehicle is stopped, turn on
your emergency hazard flashers, set
the parking brake and put the shift
lever in P (Park).
3.Have all passengers get out of the car.
Be sure they all get out on the side of
the car that is away from traffic.
4.When changing a flat tire, follow the
instruction provided later in this section.
