Dual Clutch Transmission*
Some Kia vehicles are equipped with Dual Clutch
Transmission (DCT ) for automatic transmissions .
The following are unique driving tips of 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 stand
still during aggressive acceleration maneuvers
If the clutch is overheating an amber warning light will
be displayed in the instrument cluster . Should this condition
occur, pull over and place the vehicle in Park and idle
the engine.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information on DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.
