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 cluster . 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 .

•Pull up and hold EPB switch a second time to increase brake pressure if parked on a decline or incline
•If parked on a steep incline, pull up the EPB switch for more than 3 seconds for a firmer EPB application
QUICK TIPS
REMINDERS:
•
As a bulb check, the EPB malfunction indicator will illuminate for approximately 3 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON
•

Off (not illuminated) – The indicator will turn off when the AUTO HOLD button B is manually pressed off or when the EPB is manually turned on .
Yellow: Malfunction - When the indicator is illuminated yellow, there may be a system malfunction . Take your vehicle to a local Kia dealer .
REMINDERS:
•
Auto Hold only operates when vehicle is in Drive or Neutral
•
To reduce the risk of an accident, do not activate Auto Hold while driving downhill, backing up or parking your vehicle

Press button A to turn DBC ON/OFF .
When you select AWD LOCK mode (indicator is illuminated) by pressing the AWD LOCK button B, the AWD LOCK mode increases the drive power when driving on wet pavement, snow-covered roads and/or on unpaved roads .
• This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades, driving on unpaved roads, driving on sandy and muddy roads, etc ., to improve traction
• This mode automatically begins to deactivate at speeds above 38 mph and is shifted to AWD AUTO mode at speeds above 38 mph . If the vehicle decelerates to speeds below approximately 38 mph, however, the transfer mode is shifted into AWD LOCK mode again
When the AWD LOCK mode is deactivated, a shock may be felt as the drive power is delivered entirely to the front wheels . This shock is not a mechanical failure .
The AWD system is a supplemental system only . It is the driver ’s responsibilit y to drive carefully depending on road and traf fic conditions .
See section 5 in the Owner ’s Manual for more information .
