NOTICE
 The double clutch transmission gives the driving feel of a Manual
Transaxle, yet provides the ease of a
fully Automatic Transaxle. Unlike a
traditional Automatic Transaxle, the
gear shifting can be felt (and heard)
on the double clutch transmission
- Think of it as an automatically shift-ing Manual Transaxle.
- Shift into Drive range and you get great shifting feedback and sound,
but no shifting hassle.
 Dry-type clutch transfers driving
torque and also delivers direct driving
feel which can be felt different from
smooth Automatic Transaxle with slip
of torque converter. This might be
easily felt especially at launch & low
vehicle speed.
 Double clutch transmission adopts dry-type double clutch, which is dif-
ferent from torque converter of
Automatic Transaxle, and shows bet-
ter acceleration performance during
driving. But, initial launch might be
little bit slower than Automatic
Transaxle.
(Continued)(Continued)
 When rapidly accelerating at low
vehicle speed, engine could rev at high
rpm depending on vehicle drive con-
dition.
 For smooth launch at uphill, press
down the accelerator pedal properly
depending on the vehicle drive condi-
tion.
 If you release your foot from the accel-
erator pedal at low vehicle speed, you
may feel strong engine brake, which is
similar to manual transaxle.
 In case if you want to speed down at
downhill, you may use sport mode or
paddle shift to downshift, and also use
foot brake properly depending on
driving condition to get enough decel-
eration.
 When you turn the ignition on and off, you may hear clicking sounds as the
transmission solenoids turn on and
off, cycling through a self test. This is
a normal sound for the Double Clutch
Transmission.For smooth operation, depress the brake
pedal when shifting from N (Neutral) to aforward or reverse gear.
WARNING - Automatic
transaxle
 Always check the surrounding areas near your vehicle for peo-
ple, especially children, before
shifting a vehicle into D (Drive) or
R (Reverse).
 Before leaving the driver’s seat, always make sure the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position; then
set the parking brake fully and
shut the engine off. Unexpected
and sudden vehicle movementcan occur if these precautions
are not followed in the order iden-tified.

CAUTION
 To avoid damage to yourtransaxle, do not accelerate the
engine in R (Reverse) or any for- ward gear position with thebrakes on.
 When stopped on an upgrade, do not hold the vehicle stationarywith engine power. Use the serv- ice brake or the parking brake.
 Do not shift from N (Neutral) or P (Park) into D (Drive), or R
(Reverse) when the engine isabove idle speed.
CAUTION - Double clutch
transmission
 If the vehicle is held by applying accelerator pedal at the hill, the
transmission and clutch will bedamaged. To hold at the hill, usethe parking brake or foot brake.
 An overload of the clutch is indi- cated by a longitudinal judder anda blinking display. To exclude aclutch-damage, the clutch isopened and the torque flow inter-
rupted. If the clutch is opened,apply the foot brake and wait someminutes before driving again.
 Ignoring the warnings can lead to severe injuries and damage onthe car.
 If the LCD warning is active, the foot brake has to be applied.
 When the problem of gear system occurs, the transaxle indicator
will blink. For your safety, we rec-ommend that you contact an authorized Kia dealer and havethe system checked.
(Continued)
(Continued) When the clutch is overheated, the safe protection mode oper-ates. According to the safe pro-tection mode, the transaxle indi-
cator blinks with buzzer sound.The buzzer beeps 3 times.
In this time, the LCD warningabout safe protection mode also
displays. In this condition, thedriving may not be smoothly. Ifyou ignore this warning, the driv-ing condition is getting worse and
the system may have problem. Toreturn the normal driving condi- tion, apply the foot brake and
stop the vehicle for few minutes before driving off.
 While shifting the gear automati- cally, you may feel a correspon-ding shifting of gear. However, it
is not malfunction.

Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
In the event that the power-assisted
brakes lose power because of a stalled
engine or some other reason, you can
still stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than you nor-
mally would. The stopping distance, how-
ever, will be longer.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially depleted
each time the brake pedal is applied. Do
not pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when neces-
sary to maintain steering control on slip-
pery surfaces.BRAKE SYSTEM (Continued)
 Always, confirm the position of
the brake and accelerator pedal
before driving. If you don't checkthe position of the accelerator
and brake pedal before driving,
you may depress the accelerator
instead of the brake pedal. It maycause a serious accident.WARNING - Brakes
 Do not drive with your foot rest- ing on the brake pedal. This will create abnormal high brake tem-
peratures, excessive brake lining
and pad wear, and increasedstopping distances.
 When descending a long or steep hill, shift to a lower gear and
avoid continuous application of
the brakes. Continuous brakeapplication will cause the brakes
to overheat and could result in a
temporary loss of braking per-
formance.
 Wet brakes may impair the vehi- cle’s ability to sefely slow down;
the vehicle may also pull to oneside when the brakes are applied.
Applying the brakes lightly will
indicate whether they have been
affected in this way. Always test
your brakes in this fashion after
driving through deep water. To
dry the brakes, apply them lightly
while maintaining a safe forward
speed until brake performancereturns to normal.

Check the brake warning light by turning
the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). This light will illuminate when the
parking brake is applied with the ignition
switch in the START or ON position.
Before driving, be sure the parking brake
is fully released and the brake warning
light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on
after the parking brake is released while
the engine is running, there may be a
malfunction in the brake system.
Immediate attention is necessary. If at all possible, cease driving the vehi-
cle immediately. If that is not possible,
use extreme caution while operating the
vehicle and only continue to drive the
vehicle until you can reach a safe loca-
tion or repair shop.
WARNING
 To prevent unintentional move- ment when stopped and leaving
the vehicle, do not use the shift
lever instead of the parking
brake. Set the parking brake AND
make sure the shift lever is
securely positioned in 1st (First)
gear or R (Reverse) for manual
transaxle equipped vehicles and
in P (Park) for automatic transaxle
equipped vehicles.
 Never allow anyone who is unfa- miliar with the vehicle to touch
the parking brake. If the parking
brake is released unintentionally,
serious injury may occur.
 All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully engaged
when parking to avoid inadver-
tent movement of the vehicle
which can injure occupants orpedestrians.

EPB malfunction indicator
(if equipped)
This warning light illuminates if the
engine start/stop button is changed to
the ON position and goes off in approxi-
mately 3 seconds if the system is opera-
tion normally. If the EPB malfunction indicator remains
on, comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch or the
engine start/stop button is changed tothe ON position, this indicates that the
EPB may have malfunctioned.
If this occurs, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorized Kia
dealer. The EPB malfunction indicator may illu-minate when the ESC indicator comes
on to indicate that the ESC is not working
properly, but it does not indicate a mal-
function of the EPB.
CAUTION
 A click sound may be heard while
operating or releasing the EPB,
but these conditions are normaland indicate that the EPB is func-tioning properly.
 When leaving your keys with a parking lot attendant or valet,make sure to inform him/her howto operate the EPB.
 The EPB may malfunction if you drive with the EPB applied.
 When you automatically release EPB by depressing the accelera-tor pedal, depress it slowly.
OJD052014
CAUTION
 The EPB warning light may illumi- nate if the EPB switch operates
abnormally. Shut the engine off and turn it on again after a fewminutes. The warning light will go off and the EPB switch will oper-
ate normally. However, if the EPB warning light is still on, we recom-mend that the system be checked
by an authorized Kia dealer.
 If the parking brake warning light does not illuminate or blinks eventhough the EPB switch was pulled up, the EPB is not applied.
 If the parking brake warning light blinks when the EPB warning lightis on, press the switch, then pull it up. Once more press it back to its original position and pull it back
up. If the EPB warning does not go off, we recommend that thesystem be checked by an author- ized Kia dealer.

Electronic stability control (ESC) (if equipped) The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system is designed to stabilize the vehi-
cle during cornering maneuvers. ESC
checks where you are steering and
where the vehicle is actually going. ESC
applies the brakes at individual wheels
and intervenes with engine management
system to stabilize the vehicle. The Electronic stability control (ESC)system is an electronic system designed
to help the driver maintain vehicle control
under adverse conditions. It is not a
substitute for safe driving practices.
Factors including speed, road conditions
and driver steering input can all affect
whether ESC will be effective in
preventing a loss of control. It is still your
responsibility to drive and corner at
reasonable speeds and to leave a
sufficient margin of safety.
When you apply your brakes under con-
ditions which may lock the wheels, you
may hear a “tik-tik’’ sound from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensation
in the brake pedal. This is normal and it
means your ESC is active.
✽✽
NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the vehicle
begins to move after the engine is start-
ed. These conditions are normal and
indicate that the Electronic stability
control (ESC) System is functioning
properly.
WARNING
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when cor-
nering. Electronic stability control
(ESC) will not prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
maneuvers and hydroplaning onwet surfaces can still result in seri-
ous accidents. Only a safe and
attentive driver can prevent acci-
dents by avoiding maneuvers that
cause the vehicle to lose traction.
Even with ESC installed, always fol-
low all the normal precautions for
driving - including driving at safe
speeds for the conditions.
