In case of an emergency whilst driving

In an emergency, stay calm and follow these steps:

If the vehicle stalls whilst driving

  1. Reduce your speed gradually, staying in a straight line.

  2. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place.

  3. Turn your hazard lights on.

  4. Try to restart your vehicle. If your vehicle does not restart, contact a professional workshop. Kia recommends that you visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

If the vehicle stalls at a crossroad or crossing

  1. Shift to N (Neutral).

  2. Push the vehicle to a safe place.

If you have a flat tyre whilst driving

  1. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal and let the vehicle slow down whilst driving straight ahead.

    Do not engage the brakes immediately or attempt to pull off the road, as this may cause a loss of control.

  2. When the vehicle has slowed to a safe speed, brake carefully and pull off the road.

  3. 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.

  4. When the vehicle is stopped, turn your hazard lights ON, apply the parking brake, and shift the gear to P (Park).

  5. Have all passengers exit the vehicle. Be sure they all exit on the side of the vehicle that is facing away from traffic.

  6. When changing a flat tyre, follow the instructions provided later in this section.
