Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that may lead to an accident, severe bodily injury, and death. The driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and legal operation of a vehicle, and any handheld devices, other equipment, or vehicle systems which take the driver’s eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or which are not permissible by law should never be used during operation of the vehicle.

Dual Clutch Transmission
The Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT ) gives the driving feel of a manual transmission, yet provides
the ease of a fully automatic transmission.
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, the first warning, an amber-colored warning light ,
will be displayed in the instrument cluster. When indicator turns red, reduce speed, pull
over and place the vehicle in Park until it cools
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information on DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.
REMINDER: When in Manual mode, pulling the left and right paddle shifters at the same time will NOT shift gears.
Paddle Shifters*
Paddle Shifters are operable when the shift lever is moved into the left gate of the D position (manual sport mode).
Paddle Shifting: Pull the [+] or

up or down one gear.
