Driving your vehicle Dual clutch transmission (DCT) (Dial SBW)
stuck or there is problem with the dial
SBW.
Make sure that there is no object around
the dial SBW. If the problem persists,
immediately have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.
Shift-lock system
For your safety, your vehicle has a shift-
lock system which prevents shifting the
gear from P (Park) or N (Neutral) into R
(Reverse) or D (Drive) unless the brake
pedal is depressed.
To shift from P (Park) or N (Neutral)
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive), from R
(Reverse) into D (Drive) or from D
(Drive) into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the vehicle or place the ENGINE
START/STOP button in the ON posi
-
tion.
3. Turn the dial SBW to the R (Reverse)
or D (Drive) position.
Good driving practices
僅 Never move the gear from P (Park) or
N (Neutral) to any other position with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
僅 Never move the gear into P (Park)
when the vehicle is in motion.
僅 Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
僅 Never take the vehicle out of gear and
coast down a hill. This may be
extremely hazardous. Always leave
the vehicle in gear when moving.
僅 Do not "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and malfunc
-
tion. Instead, when you are driving
down a long hill, slow down and shift
to a lower gear. When you do this,
engine braking will help slow the vehi
-
cle.
僅 Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may
not be engaged.
僅 Always use the parking brake. Do not
depend on placing the transmission in
P (Park) to keep the vehicle from
moving.
僅 Exercise extreme caution when driv
-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe
-
cially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change in
vehicle speed can cause the drive
wheels to lose traction and the vehicle
to go out of control.
僅 Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the acceler
-
ator pedal.
僅 When driving uphill or downhill,
always shift to D (Drive) for driving
forward or shift to R (Reverse) for
driving backwards, and check the
gear position indicated on the cluster
before driving. Driving in the opposite
direction of the selected gear can lead
to a dangerous situation by shutting
off the engine and affecting the brak
-
ing performance.
僅 Always buckle-up! In a collision, an
unbelted occupant is significantly
more likely to be seriously injured or
killed than a properly belted occu
-
pant.
僅 Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.
僅 Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
