What to do in an emergency

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILE DRIVING

If the engine stalls at a crossroad
or crossing

If the engine stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the vehi-
cle to a safe place.

If you have a flat tire while driving

If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
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
control. 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 divided highway, do not
park in the median area between the
two traffic lanes.

2. When the car is stopped, turn on your

emergency hazard flashers, set the
parking brake and put the transaxle in
P (automatic transaxle) or reverse
(manual transaxle).

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 sec-
tion.

If engine stalls while driving

1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping

a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.

2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If your

vehicle will not start, contact an autho-
rised Kia dealer or seek other qualified
assistance.
