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).

---- ((((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
If you do decide to pull a trailer
Here are some important points if you decide to pull a trailer:
 Consider using a sway control. You can ask a hitch dealer about sway control.
 Do not do any towing with your car during its first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) in order to allow the engine to properly break in. Failure
to heed this caution may result in serious engine or transaxle damage.
 When towing a trailer, we recommend that you consult an authorised Kia dealer on additional requirements such as a towing kit, etc.
 Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed (less than 100 km/h (60 mph)).
 On a long uphill grade, do not exceed 70 km/h (45 mph) or the posted towing speed limit, whichever is lower.

CAUTION - Automatic
transaxle / Double clutch transmission
 If the car is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it can
be towed only from the front. Be sure that the transaxle is in neu-tral. Be sure the steering isunlocked by placing the ignition
switch in the ACC position. Adriver must be in the towed vehi- cle to operate the steering and
brakes.
 To avoid serious damage to the automatic transaxle, limit thevehicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph) and drive less than 1.5 km (1 mile)
when towing.
 Use a towing strap less than 5 m (16 feet) long. Attach a white or red cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches) wide) in the
middle of the strap for easy visibility.
 Drive carefully so that the towing strap is not loosened during towing.
Emergency towing precautions
 Turn the ignition switch to ACC so thesteering wheel isn’t locked.
 Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
 Release the parking brake.
 Depress the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
 More steering effort will be required because the power steering system
will be disabled.
 If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake per-
formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.

Maintenance
OWNER MAINTENANCE
We recommend that the following lists
are vehicle checks and inspections that
should be performed by the owner or an
authorised Kia dealer at the frequencies
indicated to help ensure safe, depend-
able operation of your vehicle.
If you have any question, we recommend
that you consult an authorised Kia deal-
er.
These Owner Maintenance Checks are
generally not covered by warranties and
you may be charged for labour, parts and
lubricants used. Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
 Check the engine oil level.
 Check coolant level in coolant reser-
voir.
 Check the windscreen washer fluid level.
 Look for low or under-inflated tyres.
 Check the radiator and condenser. Check if the front of the radiator and
condenser are clean and not blocked
with leaves, dirt or insects etc.
If any of the above parts are extremely
dirty or you are not sure of their condi-
tion, we recommend that you contact
an authorised Kia dealer.
Whilst operating your vehicle:
 Note any changes in the sound of theexhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes
in the vehicle.
 Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steering
effort or looseness in the steering
wheel, or change in its straight-aheadposition.
 Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side when trav-
elling on smooth, level road.
 When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-
to-push” brake pedal.
 If any slipping or changes in the oper- ation of your transaxle occurs, check
the transaxle fluid level.
 Check manual transaxle operation, including clutch operation.
 Check automatic transaxle/double clutch transmission P (Park) function.
 Check parking brake.
 Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air conditioning
system during or after use is normal).
WARNING
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. Scalding hot coolant
and steam may blow out under
pressure. This could cause burns
or other serious injury.
