Driving your vehicle
CAUTION
• To hold the vehicle on a hill
use the foot brake or the park-
ing brake. If the vehicle is held
by applying the accelerator
pedal on a hill the clutch and
transmission will be overheat-
ed resulting in damage.
At this time, a warning mes-
sage (“Steep grade! Press
brake pedal”) will appear on
the LCD display and you may
feel a vibration.
• If the clutch becomes overheat-
ed by excessive use of the
clutch to hold on a hill, you may
notice a shudder feeling and a
blinking display on the instru-
ment cluster. When this occurs,
the clutch is disabled until the
clutch cools to normal temper-
atures. If this occurs, pull over
to a safe location, shift into P
(Park) and apply the foot brake
for a certain time on the LCD
warning until it disappears.

• If the LCD warning is active,
the foot brake must be applied.
• Ignoring the warnings can lead
to damage to the transmission.
• If the display continues to
blink, for your safety, we rec-
ommend that you contact an
authorized Kia dealer.
• Under certain conditions such
as repeated launch on steep
grades, the clutch in the trans-
mission could overheat.
When the clutch is overheat-
ed, the safe protection mode
engages. If the safe protection
mode engages, the gear posi-
tion indicator on the cluster
blinks with a chime sound.

At this time, a warning mes-
sage (“Transmission temp. is
high! Stop safely”, “Trans
Cooling. Remain parked for 00
min.”, “Trans Cooled. Resume
driving”) will appear on the
LCD display and driving may
not be smooth.
If you ignore this warning, the
driving condition may become
worse.To return the normal driv-
ing condition, stop the vehicle
and apply the foot brake for a
few minutes before driving off.
• Gear shifts may be more
noticeable than a convention-
al automatic transmission.
This is a normal characteristic
of this type of dual clutch
transmission.
