Dual Clutch Transmission
The Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT ) gives the driving feel of a manual transmission,
yet provides the ease of a fully automatic transmission .
The following are unique driving tips of the Dual Clutch Transmission:
– To hold the vehicle stationary on an incline, the service brake or parking brake
MUST be used or the gear shift MUST be in the (P) Park position . If the vehicle is
held stationary by applying the accelerator pedal on a slope, the clutch/
transmission may overheat, resulting in damage
– Avoid aggressive launches on steep grades as this may result in an overheated
clutch and transmission
– A slight time lag may be experienced at takeoff from stand still during aggressive
acceleration maneuvers
– If the clutch is over-heating, the first warning, an amber-colored warning light ,
will be displayed in the instrument cluster . When indicator turns red, reduce
speed, pull over and place the vehicle in Park until it cools.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information on DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.
