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.
