Driving your vehicle
Your vehicle may be equipped with the ISG system, which reduces fuel con-
sumption by automatically shutting down
the engine, when the vehicle is at a
standstill. (For example : red light, stop
sign and traffic jam)
The engine starts automatically as soon
as the starting conditions are met.
The ISG system is ON whenever the
engine is running.
✽✽NOTICE
When the engine automatically starts by
the ISG system, some warning lights
(ABS, ESC, ESC OFF, EPS or Parking
brake warning light) may turn on for a
few seconds.
This happens because of low battery
voltage. It does not mean the system has
malfunctioned.
Auto stop
To stop the engine in idle stop mode
1. Decrease the vehicle speed to less than 5 km/h (3 mph).
2. Shift into N (Neutral) position.
3. Release the clutch pedal. The engine will stop and the green AUTO
STOP( ) indicator on the instrument
cluster will illuminate.

Driving your vehicle
 During cold weather, shifting may bedifficult until the transaxle lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not
harmful to the transaxle.
 If you've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1 (First) or R
(Reverse), put the shift lever in neutral
position and release the clutch. Press
the clutch pedal back down, and then
shift into 1 (First) or R (Reverse) gearposition.Using the clutch
The clutch pedal should be depressed all
the way to the floor before shifting, then
released slowly. The clutch pedal should
always be fully released whilst driving.
Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
whilst driving. This can cause unneces-
sary wear. Do not partially engage the
clutch to hold the vehicle on an incline.
This causes unnecessary wear. Use the
foot brake or parking brake to hold the
vehicle on an incline. Do not operate the
clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.
CAUTION
 To avoid premature clutch wear
and damage, do not drive withyour foot resting on the clutchpedal. Also, don’t use the clutch
to hold the vehicle stopped on anuphill grade, whilst waiting for a traffic light, etc.
 Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as this
can result in premature wear of the transaxle shift forks.
 To prevent possible damage to the clutch system, do not startwith the 2nd (second) gear
engaged except when you start on a slippery road.
WARNING
 Before leaving the driver’s seat, always set the parking brake fully
and shut the engine off. Thenmake sure the transaxle is shifted
into 1 (First) gear when the vehi-
cle is parked on a level or uphill
grade, and shifted into R
(Reverse) on a downhill grade.
Unexpected and sudden vehicle
movement can occur if these pre-
cautions are not followed in the
order identified.
 If your vehicle has a manual transaxle not equipped with a
ignition lock switch, it may moveand cause a serious accident
when starting the engine without
depressing the clutch pedalwhilst the parking brake is
released and the shift lever not inthe neutral position.
CAUTION
When operating the clutch pedal,
depress the clutch pedal down fully.
If you don’t depress the clutch pedal fully, the clutch may be dam- aged or noise may occur.

Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy traf-
fic or whilst driving up steep hills, down-
shift before the engine starts to labour.
Downshifting reduces the chance of
stalling and gives better acceleration
when you again need to increase your
speed. When the vehicle is travelling
down steep hills, downshifting helps
maintain safe speed and prolongs brake
life. Good driving practices
 Never take the vehicle out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely
hazardous. Always leave the vehicle in
gear.
 Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction.
Instead, when you are driving down a
long hill, slow down and shift to a lower
gear. When you do this, engine braking
will help slow down the vehicle.
 Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
 Slow down when you encounter cross winds. This gives you much better con-
trol of your vehicle.
 Be sure the vehicle is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into
R (Reverse). The transaxle can be
damaged if you do not. To shift into R
(Reverse), depress the clutch, move
the shift lever to neutral, wait three sec-
onds, then shift to the R (Reverse)position.
 Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating or
shifting gears. On a slippery surface,
an abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and the vehicle to go out of control.WARNING
 Always buckle-up! In a collision, an unbelted occupant is signifi-
cantly more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a properlybelted occupant.
 Avoid high speeds when corner- ing or turning.
 Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp
lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
 The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
 Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the
roadway and the driver over-
steers to reenter the roadway.
 In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
 Never exceed posted speed lim- its.

Automatic transaxle/Double
clutch transmission operation
The automatic transaxle/Double clutch
transmission has 6 forward speeds and
one reverse speed. The individual speeds
are selected automatically, depending on
the position of the shift lever.
✽✽NOTICE
The first few shifts on a new vehicle, if
the battery has been disconnected, may
be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal
condition, and the shifting sequence will
adjust after shifts are cycled a few times
by the TCM (Transaxle Control
Module) or PCM (Powertrain Control
Module).
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/DOUBLE CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (IF EQUIPPED)

++++ ((((UUUUPPPP))))
---- ((((DDDDOOOOWWWWNNNN))))
The shift lever can be shifted freely.
Press the lock release button when shifting.
Depress the brake pedal and the lock release button when shifting.
(If the shift lock system is not equipped, it is not necessary to depress the brake pedal.
However, it is recommended to depress the brake pedal to avoid inadvertent movement
of the vehicle.)

NOTICE
 The double clutch transmission gives the driving feel of a Manual
Transaxle, yet provides the ease of a
fully Automatic Transaxle. Unlike a
traditional Automatic Transaxle, the
gear shifting can be felt (and heard)
on the double clutch transmission
- Think of it as an automatically shift-ing Manual Transaxle.
- Shift into Drive range and you get great shifting feedback and sound,
but no shifting hassle.
 Dry-type clutch transfers driving
torque and also delivers direct driving
feel which can be felt different from
smooth Automatic Transaxle with slip
of torque converter. This might be
easily felt especially at launch & low
vehicle speed.
 Double clutch transmission adopts dry-type double clutch, which is dif-
ferent from torque converter of
Automatic Transaxle, and shows bet-
ter acceleration performance during
driving. But, initial launch might be
little bit slower than Automatic
Transaxle.
(Continued)(Continued)
 When rapidly accelerating at low
vehicle speed, engine could rev at high
rpm depending on vehicle drive con-
dition.
 For smooth launch at uphill, press
down the accelerator pedal properly
depending on the vehicle drive condi-
tion.
 If you release your foot from the accel-
erator pedal at low vehicle speed, you
may feel strong engine brake, which is
similar to manual transaxle.
 In case if you want to speed down at
downhill, you may use sport mode or
paddle shift to downshift, and also use
foot brake properly depending on
driving condition to get enough decel-
eration.
 When you turn the ignition on and off, you may hear clicking sounds as the
transmission solenoids turn on and
off, cycling through a self test. This is
a normal sound for the Double Clutch
Transmission.For smooth operation, depress the brake
pedal when shifting from N (Neutral) to aforward or reverse gear.
WARNING - Automatic
transaxle
 Always check the surrounding areas near your vehicle for peo-
ple, especially children, before
shifting a vehicle into D (Drive) or
R (Reverse).
 Before leaving the driver’s seat, always make sure the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position; then
set the parking brake fully and
shut the engine off. Unexpected
and sudden vehicle movementcan occur if these precautions
are not followed in the order iden-tified.

Driving your vehicle
CAUTION
 To avoid damage to yourtransaxle, do not accelerate the
engine in R (Reverse) or any for- ward gear position with thebrakes on.
 When stopped on an upgrade, do not hold the vehicle stationarywith engine power. Use the serv- ice brake or the parking brake.
 Do not shift from N (Neutral) or P (Park) into D (Drive), or R
(Reverse) when the engine isabove idle speed.
CAUTION - DCT
 If the vehicle is held by applying
accelerator pedal at the hill, the
transmission and clutch will be damaged. To hold at the hill, usethe parking brake or foot brake.
 An overload of the clutch is indi- cated by a longitudinal judder anda blinking display. To exclude aclutch-damage, the clutch is opened and the torque flow inter-
rupted. If the clutch is opened, apply the foot brake and waitsome minutes before driving again.
 Ignoring the warnings can lead to severe injuries and damage onthe car.
 If the LCD warning is active, the foot brake has to be applied.
 When the problem of gear system occurs, the transaxle indicatorwill blink. For your safety, we rec- ommend that you contact anauthorised Kia dealer and have
the system checked.
(Continued)
(Continued) When the clutch is overheated, the safe protection mode oper-ates. According to the safe pro-tection mode, the transaxle indi-
cator blinks with buzzer sound.The buzzer beeps 3 times.
In this time, the LCD warningabout safe protection mode also
displays. In this condition, thedriving may not be smoothly. Ifyou ignore this warning, the driv-ing condition is getting worse and
the system may have problem. Toreturn the normal driving condi- tion, apply the foot brake and
stop the vehicle for few minutes before driving off.
 Whilst shifting the gear automati- cally, you may feel a correspon-ding shifting of gear. However, it
is not malfunction.

Transaxle ranges
The indicator lights in the instrument
cluster displays the shift lever position
when the ignition switch is in the ONposition.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into P (Park). This position locks
the transaxle and prevents the frontwheels from rotating. R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transaxle are not
engaged. The vehicle will roll freely even
on the slightest incline unless the parking
brake or service brakes are applied.D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving posi-
tion. The transaxle will automatically shift
through a 6-gear sequence, providing the
best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or climbing grades, depress the
accelerator pedal fully (more than 80%)
until the kick down mechanism works
with a clicking noise, at which time the
transaxle will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear.
✽✽
NOTICE
 Always come to a complete stop before shifting into D (Drive).
 A clicking noise heard from the kick down mechanism by depressing the
accelerator pedal fully is a normal
condition.
CAUTION
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of R (Reverse); you may damage the
transaxle if you shift into R (Reverse)whilst the vehicle is in motion, except as explained in “Rocking the vehi-
cle”, in this manual.
WARNING
 Shifting into P (Park) whilst the vehicle is in motion will cause the
drive wheels to lock which will
cause you to lose control of the
vehicle.
 Do not use the P (Park) position in place of the parking brake.
Always make sure the shift lever
is latched in the P (Park) position
and set the parking brake fully.
 Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle.
CAUTION
The transaxle may be damaged if
you shift into P (Park) whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
