Kia K900: Towing service

If emergency towing is necessary, we recommend having it done by an authorized K900 Kia dealer or a commercial tow-truck service.

Proper lifting and towing procedures are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or flatbed is recommended.

It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the front wheels on the ground (without dollies) and the rear wheels off the ground.

If any of the loaded wheels or suspension components are damaged or the vehicle is being towed with the rear wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly under the rear wheels.

When being towed by a commercial tow truck and wheel dollies are not used, the rear of the vehicle should always be lifted, not the front.

• Ensure any metal parts on the tiedown straps do not contact painted surfaces or the face of the wheels.
• Do not place straps over the body OKH064014N panels or through the wheels.

CAUTION

Attaching straps to the chasis, suspension or other parts of the body can cause damage.

CAUTION

• Do not tow the vehicle with the rear wheels on the ground as this may cause damage to the vehicle.
• Do not tow with sling-type equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed equipment.

When towing your vehicle in an emergency without wheel dollies :

1.Set the Engine Start/Stop Button in the ACC position.

2.Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).

3.Release the parking brake.

CAUTION

Failure to place the shift lever in N (Neutral) may cause internal damage to the transaxle.

CAUTION

If the ECS malfunction indicator illuminates when there is no air in the suspension, the vehicle height will be very low, so do not drive the vehicle to protect it from projections on the ground. Take your vehicle to an authorized K900 Kia dealer by towing the vehicle and have the system checked. You should tow the vehicle as shown the picture.

When you load the vehicle onto the tow truck, the loading angle(1) should be smaller than 6°.
