Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)
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 / Spor t mode, pulling the left and right paddle shifters at the same time will NOT shift gears
Paddle Shifters*
When gear shift is in ECO mode (D - Drive position), the paddle shifters control the regenerative braking level When in Manual Sport mode (left gate), the paddle shifters shift the gears
