QUICK TIP
Dual Clutch Transmission
(DCT)*
Some Kia vehicles are equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) for automatic transmissions
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, an amber warning light* will be displayed in the instrument cluster Should this condition occur, pull over and place the vehicle in Park and idle the engine.
Refer to section 5 in the Owner ’s Manual for additional information on Automatic Gear Shift or DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information
