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 for 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 standstill during aggressive acceleration
maneuvers
– If the clutch is overheating, 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.
REMINDER: When in Manual mode, pulling the left and right paddle shifters at the same time will NOT shift gears.
Paddle Shifters*
Paddle Shifters are operable when the shift lever is moved into the left gate of the D position (manual sport mode).
Paddle Shifting: Pull the [+] or
[-] paddle shifter once to shift
up or down one gear.

Auto Hold temporarily maintains the vehicle at a standstill even
though the brake pedal is not depressed after the driver brings the
vehicle to a complete stop by depressing the brake pedal. Auto
Hold can be turned On/Off using the AUTO HOLD button A on the
center panel below the gear shift. Before Auto Hold will operate,
the driver’s door, engine hood and liftgate must be closed, and the
driver’s seat belt must be fastened.

white. While driving the vehicle (vehicle is not at a standstill), the
Auto Hold indicator will remain white.

the brake pedal, the Auto Hold indicator changes from white to
green.
Off (not illuminated) – The indicator will turn Off

is illuminated yellow, there may be a system
malfunction. Take your vehicle to a local Kia dealer.
