• In manual mode, the driver must

with road conditions, taking care
to keep the engine speed below

• In manual mode, only the 8 for‐
ward gears can be selected. To re‐
verse or park the vehicle, move
the shift lever to the R (Reverse)
or P (Park) position as required.
• In manual mode, downshifts are
made automatically when the ve‐
hicle slows down. When the vehicle

• T
o maintain the required levels of
vehicle performance and safety,
the system may not execute cer‐
tain gearshifts when the shift lev‐
er is operated.
• When driving on a slippery road,
push the shift lever forward into
the +(up) position. This causes the
transmission to shift into the 2
nd
gear which is better for smooth
driving on a slippery road. Push
the shift lever to the -(down) side
to shift back to the 1
st
gear.
Shift lock system (if equipped)
For your safety, the automatic trans‐
mission has a shift lock system which
prevents shifting the transmission
from P (Park) into R (Reverse) unless
the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P (Park)
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive) :
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or press the En‐
gine Start/Stop button in the ON
position.
3. Have the system inspected by a
professional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
If the brake pedal is repeatedly de‐
pressed and released with the shift lev‐
er in the P (Park) position, a chattering
noise near the shift lever may be heard.
This is a normal condition.
WARNING
Always fully depress the brake pedal
before and while shifting out of the
P (Park) position into another posi‐
tion to avoid inadvertent motion of
the vehicle which could injure per‐
sons in or around the car.
■ When the battery is discharged:
When the battery is discharged, the au‐
tomatic transmission (shift by wire) is
not shifted.
In emergency, if you want to shift into
[N], follow actions
