Kia Soul: What to do in an emergency / Towing
Towing service

If emergency towing is necessary, we recommend having it done by an authorized
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 (1) or
flatbed is recommended.
It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels on the ground (without
dollies) and the front wheels off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspension components are damaged or the vehicle
is being towed with the front wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly under the
front wheels. When being towed by a commercial tow truck and wheel dollies are not
used, the front of the vehicle should always be lifted, not the rear.

CAUTION
- Do not tow the vehicle backwards with the front 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 ignition switch in the ACC position.
2. Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Failure to place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral) may cause internal
damage to the transaxle.
