gear.
Shift-lock system
For your safety, the automatic transmis
-
sion has a shift-lock system which pre

vents 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):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or turn the ignition
switch to the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
If the brake pedal is repeatedly
depressed and released with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position, a chatter

ing noise near the shift lever may be
heard. This is a normal condition.
Always fully depress the brake pedal
before and while shifting out of the P
(Park) position into another position to
avoid inadvertent motion of the vehicle
which could injure persons in or around
the vehicle.

If the shift lever cannot be moved from
the P (Park) position into R (Reverse)
position with the brake pedal depressed,
continue depressing the brake, then do
the following:
1. Place the ENGINE START/STOP but
-
ton in the OFF position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Carefully remove the cap (1) covering
the shift-lock release access hole.
4. Insert a tool (e.g., flathead screw
-
driver) into the access hole and press
down on the tool.
5. Move the shift lever.
6. Remove the tool from the shift-lock
override access hole then install the
cap.
If the shift lever does not move even
after performing this procedure, have
the system inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
Ignition key interlock system
If your vehicle is equipped with ENGINE
START/STOP button, the button will not
change to the OFF position unless the
shift lever is in the P (Park) position.
