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 
clu s t er. 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 DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs  for additional information.
