•
This vehicle is equipped with wireless charging technology which allows for a device to be charged using inductive charging; however, device compatibility varies. See your Owner’s Manual for more detailed information
•
Inductive charging systems are less ef ficient than conventional charging through cable. As a result, higher device operating temperatures may be experienced during use
•
Charging Performance – Your device’s position on the wireless charging system can affect charging performance. Other factors that may affect the charging rate include foreign objects, such as coins or pens, and phone case thickness
•If driver door is opened, charging will be disabled

shutting down the engine when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When the ISG system is ON, the vehicle is at a standstill, and all preconditions
have been met, the engine will stop and the green AUTO STOP indicator
on the instrument cluster will illuminate.
The engine will restart when the brake pedal is released or the shift lever is

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 A (LED lit). If you
press again, the system will be activated.
For more information on Idle, Stop and Go System, refer to section 2 in the Owner’s Manual or contact your local dealership.

Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)*
Some Kia vehicles are equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT ) for both automatic and manual 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 standstill during aggressive acceleration maneuvers
If the clutch is overheating an amber-colored warning light will be displayed on 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.
