matically move to P (Park) and the
engine start/stop button will changeto the OFF position. D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving
position. The shift lever will automat-ically shift through a 8-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.

NOTICE
 In manaul mode, the driver must execute upshifts in accordance
with road conditions, taking care
to keep the engine speed below the
red zone.
 In manaul mode, only the 8 for- ward gears can be selected. To
reverse or park the vehicle, move
the shift lever to the R (Reverse)
or P (Park) position as required.
 In manaul mode, downshifts are made automatically when the
vehicle slows down. When the
vehicle stops, 1st gear is automati-
cally selected.
 In manaul mode, when the engine rpm approaches the red zone shift
points are varied to upshift auto-
matically.
 To maintain the required levels of vehicle performance and safety,
the system may not execute cer-
tain gearshifts when the shift lever
is operated. (Continued)(Continued)
 When driving on a slippery road,
push the shift lever forward into
the +(up) position. This causes the
transmission to shift into the 2nd
gear which is better for smooth
driving on a slippery road. Push
the shift lever to the -(down) side
to shift back to the 1st gear.Shift lock system (if equipped)
For your safety, the automatic trans-
mission has a shift lock system
which prevents shifting the transmis-
sion from P (Park) into R (Reverse)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P
(Park) into R (Reverse) or D (Drive) :
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or press the Engine Start/Stop button in the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever to R (Reverse) or D (Drive) with pressing
[UNLOCK] button.
If the brake pedal is repeatedlydepressed and released with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position, a chat-
tering noise near the shift lever may
be heard. This is a normal condition.

pedal before and while shifting
out of the P (Park) position into

7. While stopping in [D], [R] and [M],
when you get off the vehicle, the
warning will be illuminated for your
safety and the shifting is automati-cally changed to [P]. If you do not press [UNLOCK] but-
ton, the warning will be illuminated. Good driving practices
Never move the shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedaldepressed.
Never move the shift lever into P (Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be
extremely hazardous. Always leave
the car in gear when moving.
Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and mal-
function. 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 car.
Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower
gear may not be engaged.

This warning light illuminates if the
engine start/stop button is turned tothe ON position and goes off in
approximately 3 seconds if the sys-
tem is operation normally. If the EPB malfunction indicator
remains on, comes on while driving,or does not come on when the
Engine Start/Stop button is turned tothe ON position, this indicates that
the EPB may have malfunctioned. If this occurs, we recommend that
the system be checked by an author-
ized Kia dealer.
The EPB malfunction indicator may illuminate when the ESC indicatorcomes on to indicate that the ESP is
not working properly, but it does not

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The ABS continuously senses the
speed of the wheels. If the wheels
are going to lock, the ABS system
repeatedly modulates the hydraulic
brake pressure to the wheels.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the wheels,
you may hear a “tik-tik’’ sound from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensa-
tion in the brake pedal. This is normal
and it means your ABS is active.
In order to obtain the maximum ben-
efit from your ABS in an emergencysituation, do not attempt to modulate
your brake pressure and do not try to
pump your brakes.Press your brake pedal as hard as
possible or as hard as the situation
warrants and allow the ABS to con-
trol the force being delivered to the
brakes.
✽✽
NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the vehi-
cle begins to move after the engine is
started. These conditions are normal
and indicate that the anti-lock brake
system is functioning properly.
Even with the anti-lock brake sys- tem, your vehicle still requires suf-
ficient stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you.
Always slow down when cornering. The anti-lock brake system cannot
prevent accidents resulting from
excessive speeds.
On loose or uneven road surfaces, operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may result in a longer stopping
distance than for vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.
(Continued)
On roads where the road sur-face is pitted or has different surface height.
The safety features of an ABS
(or ESC) equipped vehicle
should not be tested by high
speed driving or cornering. This
could endanger the safety of
yourself or others.
WARNING
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent
accidents due to improper or
dangerous driving maneuvers.
Even though vehicle control is
improved during emergency
braking, always maintain a safe
distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced dur-
ing extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars
equipped with an anti-lock brak-
ing system (or Electronic
Stability Control system) may be
longer than for those without it
in the following road conditions. During these conditions the
vehicle should be driven atreduced speeds:
Rough, gravel or snow-cov- ered roads.
With tire chains installed.
