Driving your vehicle
For smooth operation, depress thebrake pedal when shifting from N(Neutral) to a forward or reverse gear.Transaxle ranges
The indicator lights in the instrument
cluster displays the shift lever posi-
tion when the ignition switch is in theON position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park). This
position locks the transaxle and pre-
vents the front wheels from rotating.
WARNING - Automatic
transaxle
Always check the surrounding areas near your vehicle for
people, 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 movement can occur if
these precautions are not fol-
lowed in the order identified.
Do not use the engine brake (shifting from a high gear to
lower gear) rapidly on slip-
pery roads.
The vehicle may slip causing an accident.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to your
transaxle, do not acceleratethe engine in R (Reverse) orany forward gear position withthe brakes on.
When stopped on an upgrade, do not hold the vehicle sta-tionary with engine power.Use the service brake or theparking brake.
Do not shift from N (Neutral) or P (Park) into D (Drive), or R(Reverse) when the engine isabove idle speed.
WARNING
Shifting into P (Park) whilst the vehicle is in motion will
cause the drive wheels to lock
which will cause you to lose
control of the vehicle.
Do not use the P (Park) posi- tion in place of the parking
brake. Always make sure the
shift lever is latched in the P
(Park) position and set the
parking brake fully.
Never leave a child unattend- ed in a vehicle.

CAUTION
To hold the vehicle on a hill
use the foot brake or the park-ing brake. If the vehicle is heldby applying the acceleratorpedal on a hill the clutch and transmission will be overheat-ed resulting in damage.
At this time, a warning mes-sage ("Steep grade! Pressbrake pedal") will appear on the LCD display and you mayfeel a vibration.
If the clutch becomes over- heated by excessive use of theclutch to hold on a hill, you may notice a shudder feelingand a blinking display on theinstrument cluster. When this occurs, the clutch is disableduntil the clutch cools to normaltemperatures. If this occurs, pull over to a safe location,shift into P (Park) and apply thefoot brake for a few minutes.

(Continued)
If the LCD warning is active, the foot brake must be applied.
Ignoring the warnings can lead to damage to the trans-mission.
If the display continues to blink, for your safety, contact a pro-fessional workshop. Kia recom-mends to visit an authorisedKia dealer/service partner.
Under certain conditions such as repeated launch on steepgrades, the clutch in the trans-mission could overheat. Whenthe clutch is overheated, the
safe protection modeengages. If the safe protectionmode engages, the gear posi-tion indicator on the cluster blinks with a chime sound.
At this time, a warning message("Transmission temp. is high!Stop safely", "Trans Cooling.Remain parked for 00 min.") willappear on the LCD display and driving may not be smooth.
(Continued)(Continued)If you ignore this warning, thedriving condition may becomeworse. To return the normal driving condition, stop thevehicle and apply the footbrake for a few minutes before driving off.
Repetitive kick downs may lead to overheating of thetransmission. This will lead tochange in the vehicle speed shift pattern, and illuminatesome warning message.
To return the normal drivingcondition, refrain from kickdown speed changes. Whenthe warning message illumi- nates, park the vehicle at asafe location.
Gear shifts may be more noticeable than a convention-al automatic transmission.This is a normal characteristic of this type of dual clutchtransmission.

Vehicle stability management (VSM) (if equipped)
This system provides further
enhancements to vehicle stability
and steering responses when a vehi-
cle is driving on a slippery road or a
vehicle detected changes in coeffi-
cient of friction between right wheels
and left wheels when braking.
VSM operation
When the VSM is operating:
ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
( ) light will blink.
The steering wheel may be con- trolled.
When the vehicle stability manage-
ment is operating properly, you can
feel a slight pulsation in the vehicle.
This is only the effect of brake control
and indicates nothing unusual. The VSM does not operate when:
Driving on bank road such as gra-
dient or incline
Driving rearward
ESC OFF indicator light ( ) remains on the instrument cluster
EPS (Electronic Power Steering) indicator light remains on the
instrument clusterVSM operation off
If you press the ESC OFF button to
turn off the ESC, the VSM will alsocancel and the ESC OFF indicator
light ( ) illuminates.
To turn on the VSM, press the button
again. The ESC OFF indicator lightgoes out.
Malfunction indicator
The VSM can be deactivated even if
you don’t cancel the VSM operation
by pressing the ESC OFF button. Itindicates that a malfunction has
been detected somewhere in the
EPS (Electronic Power Steering)
system or VSM system. If the ESC
indicator light ( ) or EPS warning
light remains on, have the system
checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.
✽✽ NOTICE
 The VSM is designed to function above approximately 15 km/h (9
mph) on curves.
 The VSM is designed to function above approximately 30 km/h (18
mph) when a vehicle is braking on
a split-mu road. The split-mu road
is made of surfaces which have dif-
ferent friction forces.

The RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) detection range is 0.5m~20m
based on side direction. If an
approaching vehicle speed is 7
km/h~36 km/h in detection range,
The warning is on. However, the
system sensing range is different
based on conditions. Always payattention to surrounding.
