Dual clutch transmission (DCT) (Shift Lever)
䳜 When you turn the engine on and
off, you may hear clicking sounds
as the system goes through a self
test. This is a normal sound for
the Dual Clutch Transmission.
䳜 Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive) or R
(Reverse).
䳜 Do not put the shift lever in N
(Neutral) whilst driving.
Due to transmission failure, the
vehicle may not move and the posi
-
tion indicator (D, R) will blink on the
cluster. In this case, have the sys
-
tem checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
Transmission ranges
The indicator in the instrument
cluster displays the shift lever posi
-
tion when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park).
To shift from P (Park), you must
depress firmly on the brake pedal
and make sure your foot is off the
accelerator pedal.
The shift lever must be in P (Park)
before turning the engine off.
䳜 Shifting into P (Park) whilst the
vehicle is in motion may cause
you to lose control of the vehicle.
䳜 After the vehicle has stopped,
always make sure the shift lever
is in P (Park), apply the parking
brake, and turn the engine off.
䳜 Do not use the P (Park) position in
place of the parking brake.
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of R
(Reverse); you may damage the
transmission if you shift into R
(Reverse) whilst the vehicle is in
motion.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are
not engaged.
Do not shift into gear unless your
foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
