CAUTION
To hold the vehicle on a hill
use the foot brake or the park-ing brake. If the vehicle is heldby applying the acceleratorpedal on a hill the clutch and transmission will be overheat-ed resulting in damage.
At this time, a warning mes-sage ("Steep grade! Pressbrake pedal") will appear on the LCD display and you mayfeel a vibration.
If the clutch becomes over- heated by excessive use of theclutch to hold on a hill, you may notice a shudder feelingand a blinking display on theinstrument cluster. When this occurs, the clutch is disableduntil the clutch cools to normaltemperatures. If this occurs, pull over to a safe location,shift into P (Park) and apply thefoot brake for a few minutes.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If the LCD warning is active, the foot brake must be applied.
Ignoring the warnings can lead to damage to the trans-mission.
If the display continues to blink, for your safety, we rec-ommend that you contact anauthorised Kia dealer.
Under certain conditions such as repeated launch on steepgrades, the clutch in the trans-mission could overheat. When
the clutch is overheated, thesafe protection modeengages. If the safe protectionmode engages, the gear posi-tion indicator on the clusterblinks with a chime sound.
At this time, a warning message("Transmission temp. is high! Stop safely", "Trans Cooling.Remain parked for 00 min.") willappear on the LCD display anddriving may not be smooth.
(Continued)(Continued)If you ignore this warning, thedriving condition may becomeworse. To return the normal driving condition, stop thevehicle and apply the footbrake for a few minutes before driving off.
Repetitive kick downs may lead to overheating of thetransmission. This will lead tochange in the vehicle speed shift pattern, and illuminatesome warning message.
To return the normal drivingcondition, refrain from kickdown speed changes. Whenthe warning message illumi- nates, park the vehicle at asafe location.
Gear shifts may be more noticeable than a convention-al automatic transmission.This is a normal characteristic of this type of dual clutchtransmission.

Driving your vehicle
Check to be sure the parking brakeis not engaged and that the park-
ing brake indicator light is out
before driving away.
Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the vehicle is washed. Wet
brakes can be dangerous! Your
vehicle will not stop as quickly if the
brakes are wet. Wet brakes may
cause the vehicle to pull to one
side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action
returns to normal, taking care to
keep the vehicle under control at
all times. If the braking action does
not return to normal, stop as soon
as it is safe to do so and we rec-
ommend that you call an autho-
rised Kia dealer.
Do not coast down hills with the vehicle out of gear. This is extreme-
ly hazardous. Keep the vehicle in
gear at all times, use the brakes to
slow down, then shift to a lower
gear so that engine braking will
help you maintain a safe speed. Do not "ride" the brake pedal.
Resting your foot on the brake
pedal whilst driving can be danger-ous because it can result in the
brakes overheating and losing their
effectiveness. It also increases the
wear of the brake components.
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driving, apply the brakes gently and
keep the vehicle pointed straight
ahead whilst you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it
to be safe to do so, pull off the road
and stop in a safe place.
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transaxle / dual clutch
transmission, do not let your vehi-
cle creep forward. To avoid creep-
ing forward, keep your foot firmly
on the brake pedal when the vehi-cle is stopped.
Be cautious when parking on a hill. Firmly engage the parking brake
and place the shift lever in P (auto-
matic transaxle / dual clutch trans-
mission) or in first or reverse gear
(manual transaxle). If your vehicle
is facing downhill, turn the front
wheels into the kerb to help keep
the vehicle from rolling. If your vehicle is facing uphill, turn
the front wheels away from the
kerb to help keep the vehicle from
rolling. If there is no kerb or if it is
required by other conditions to
keep the vehicle from rolling, block
the wheels.
Under some conditions your park- ing brake can freeze in the
engaged position. This is most like-ly to happen when there is an accu-
mulation of snow or ice around or
near the rear brakes or if the brakes
are wet. If there is a risk that the
parking brake may freeze, apply it
only temporarily whilst you put the
shift lever in P (automatic transaxle
/ dual clutch transmission) or in first
or reverse gear (manual transaxle)
and block the rear wheels so the
vehicle cannot roll. Then release
the parking brake.
Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator
pedal. This can cause the transaxle
to overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.

Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar haz-
ards, follow these suggestions:
Drive cautiously and allow extra
distance for braking.
Avoid sudden braking or steering.
When braking with non-ABS brakes pump the brake pedal with
a light up-and-down motion until
the vehicle is stopped.
If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
Use sand, rock salt, tyre chains, or other non-slip material under the
drive wheels to provide traction
when stalled in ice, snow, or mud. Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first
turn the steering wheel right and left
to clear the area around your front
wheels. Then, shift back and forth
between 1 (First) and R (Reverse) in
vehicles equipped with a manual
transaxle or R (Reverse) and any for-
ward gear in vehicles equipped with
an automatic transaxle / dual clutch
transmission. Do not race the engine,and spin the wheels as little as possi-
ble. If you are still stuck after a few
tries, have the vehicle pulled out by a
tow vehicle to avoid engine overheat-
ing and possible damage to the
transaxle.
SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS WARNING
- Downshifting
Downshifting with an automatic
transaxle / dual clutch transmis-
sion, whilst driving on slipperysurfaces can cause an accident.
The sudden change in tyrespeed could cause the tyres to
skid. Be careful when down-
shifting on slippery surfaces.
WARNING - ABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on
a vehicle equipped with ABS.
CAUTION
Prolonged rocking may cause engine over-heating, transaxledamage or failure, and tyre dam- age.

Tyres
Adjust the tyre inflation pressures to
specification. Low tyre inflation pres-
sures will result in overheating and
possible failure of the tyres.
Avoid using worn or damaged tyres
which may result in reduced traction
or tyre failure.
✽✽NOTICE
Never exceed the maximum tyre
inflation pressure shown on the
tyres.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
High speed travel consumes more
fuel than urban motoring. Do not for-
get to check both engine coolant andengine oil.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
result in overheating of the engine.
WARNING
Underinflated or overinflated tyres can cause poor han-
dling, loss of vehicle control,
and sudden tyre failure lead-
ing to accidents, injuries, and
even death. Always check the
tyres for proper inflation
before driving. For proper tyre
pressures, refer to chapter 9,
“Tyres and wheels”.
Driving on tyres with no or insufficient tread is danger-
ous. Worn-out tyres can
result in loss of vehicle con-
trol, collisions, injury, and
even death. Worn-out tyresshould be replaced as soon
as possible and should never
be used for driving. Always
check the tyre tread before
driving your vehicle. For fur-
ther information and tread
limits, refer to chapter 8,
“Tyres and wheels”.

Driving your vehicle
Driving on grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower
gear before you start down a long or
steep downgrade. If you don’t shift
down, you might have to use your
brakes so much that they would get
hot and no longer operate efficiently.
On a long uphill grade, shift down
and reduce your speed to around 70km/h (45 mph) to reduce the possi-
bility of engine and transaxle over-heating.
If your trailer weighs more than the
maximum trailer weight without trail-
er brakes and you have an automat-
ic transaxle / dual clutch transmis-
sion, you should drive in D (Drive)
when towing a trailer.
Operating your vehicle in D (Drive)
when towing a trailer will minimise
heat build up and extend the life of
your transaxle.CAUTION
When towing a trailer on steepgrades (in excess of 6%) payclose attention to the enginecoolant temperature gauge toensure the engine does not overheat.
If the needle of the coolanttemperature gauge movesacross the dial towards “130/H(HOT)”, pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so, andallow the engine to idle until itcools down. You may proceedonce the engine has cooled sufficiently.
You must decide driving speed depending on trailerweight and uphill grade toreduce the possibility of engine and transaxle over-heating.
CAUTION - Dual Clutch
Transmission
When towing a trailer on steepgrades, the clutch in the trans-mission could overheat.
When the clutch is overheated,the safe protection mode engages. If the safe protectionmode engages, the gear posi-tion indicator on the cluster blinks with a chime sound.
At this time, a warning messagewill appear on the LCD displayand driving may not be smooth.
If you ignore this warning, thedriving condition may become worse.
To return the normal drivingcondition, stop the vehicle onflat road and apply the footbrake for a few minutes before driving off.

Driving your vehicle
When you are ready to leave after
parking on a hill
1.With the manual transaxle inNeutral or automatic transaxle /
dual clutch transmission in P
(Park), apply your brakes and hold
the brake pedal down whilst you:

and

2.Slowly remove your foot from the brake pedal.
3.Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks.
4.Stop and have someone pick up and store the chocks. Maintenance when trailer tow- ing
Your vehicle will need service more
often when you regularly pull a trail-
er. Important items to pay particularattention to include engine oil,
transaxle fluid, axle lubricant and
cooling system fluid. Brake condition
is another important item to frequent-
ly check. Each item is covered in this
manual, and the Index will help you
find them quickly. If you’re trailering, it
is a good idea to review these sec-
tions before you start your trip.
Do not forget to also maintain your
trailer and hitch. Follow the mainte-nance schedule that accompanied
your trailer and check it periodically.
Preferably, conduct the check at the
start of each day’s driving. Most
importantly, all hitch nuts and boltsshould be tight.CAUTION
Due to higher load during
trailer usage, overheatingmight occur in hot days or during uphill driving. If thecoolant gauge indicates over-heating, switch off the air con- ditioner and stop the vehiclein a safe area to cool down theengine.
When towing check transaxle fluid more frequently.
If your vehicle is not equipped with an air conditioner, youshould install a condenser fanto improve engine perform-ance when towing a trailer.
