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 .

•When leaving your keys with parking lot at tendants or valet, make sure to inform them how to operate the EPB
•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
•
If the warning light does not illuminate temporarily, or continues to remain lit, take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked
•The EPB should not be operated while the vehicle is moving
•
A click or electric brake motor sound may be heard while operating or releasing the EPB, but these conditions are normal and indicate that the EPB is functioning properly
The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system utilizes an electric motor to engage the parking brake .
Applying the Parking Brake
Depress the brake pedal and pull up the EPB switch A . Ensure that the indicator light is illuminated on the instrument cluster .
If parked on a steep incline/decline, pull up the EPB switch for more than 3 seconds for a firmer EPB application .
Releasing the Parking Brake
The EPB will automatically release when the shifter is placed in Reverse or Drive . To release EPB manually, depress the brake
pedal, then press the EPB switch A, with the ignition switch in the ON position . Ensure that the indicator light is OFF .

AUTO
HOLD
Auto Hold*
See section 5 in the Owner ’s Manual for more information .
Auto Hold temporarily maintains the vehicle at a standstill even though the brake pedal is not depressed after the driver brings the vehicle to a complete stop by depressing the brake pedal . Auto Hold can be turned On/Off using the AUTO HOLD button B on the center panel below the gear shift . Before Auto Hold will operate, the driver ’s door, engine hood and liftgate must be closed, and the driver ’s seat belt must be fastened .
The Auto Hold indicator on the Instrument Cluster has four states:
White: Standby – With vehicle at a standstill and AUTO HOLD button B pressed On, the indicator will illuminate
white . While driving the vehicle (vehicle is not at a standstill), the Auto Hold indicator will remain white .
Green: Engaged – When coming to a complete stop by depressing the brake pedal, the Auto Hold indicator changes from white to green .
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
•
Do not solely rely on the Auto Hold system to keep the vehicle stopped . Always pay at tention to traf fic and road conditions, and be prepared to depress the brakes

Downhill Brake Control (DBC)†8All Wheel Drive (AWD) System*
DBC helps drivers maneuver down steep hills by automatically applying braking inputs, allowing drivers to concentrate on steering .
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 .
