Inductive charging systems are less ef ficient than conventional charging through a cable. As a result, higher device operating temperatures may be experienced during use
•
Charging Performance – Device position on the wireless charging system can affect charging performance. Other factor that may affect the charging rate includes foreign objects, such as coins or pens, and phone case thickness

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 Automatic Gear Shift or DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.

When you select AWD Lock mode by pressing
the AWD LOCK button A, the AWD LOCK mode
increases the drive power when driving on wet
pavement, snow covered roads and/or off-road.
•This mode is used for climbing or descending
sharp grades, off-road driving, driving on
sandy and muddy roads, etc., to improve
traction
•This mode automatically shifts back to
AWD AUTO mode at speed above 19 mph.
If the vehicle decelerates to speeds below
approximate 25 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.
AWD (All-Wheel Drive) Lock*Idle, Stop & Go (ISG) System
The ISG system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by automatically shutting down
the engine when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When the ISG system is ON and the vehicle
is at a standstill, the engine will stop, and the
green AUTO STOP indicator B on the
instrument cluster will illuminate.
The engine will restart when the brake pedal
is released or the shift lever is moved from
D (Drive) to the R (Reverse) position or to
Manual Shift mode. When engine restarts,
the green AUTO STOP indicator on the
instrument cluster will turn off.
To deactivate the ISG System, press the
ISG OFF button C. If you press again, the
system will be activated.
REMINDERS:
•ISG is active by default at vehicle startup. When ignition is cycled, ISG will turn ON again
•
Under certain conditions, the engine will restart automatically even if the brake pedal is still depressed
•
If the AUTO STOP indicator is continuously blinking yellow and the ISG button LED is on, please contact an authorized Kia dealer

•If the AUTO STOP indicator A is solid yellow, the system is functional, but just has not met all its enabling criteria to activate ISG at that time.
•
The ISG system is disabled when:
•A seat belt is unfastened
•The hood or a door is opened
•Battery condition is poor
•
The front or rear defroster is turned on
•
Engine coolant temperature is low
•
The outside ambient temperature is too low/high
