Driving your vehicle
CAUTION
-
Using brakes on a steep
grade
To hold the vehicle on a hill use
the foot or parking brake. If the
vehicle is held by applying the
accelerator pedal on a hill, the
clutch and transmission will be
overheated resulting in damage.
Then a time, a warning message
"Steep grade! Press brake
pedal" will appear on the LCD
window and you may feel a
some vibration.
CAUTION
-
Overheated Dual clutch
transmission
If a vehicle on a steep grade is
held by using the accelerator
pedal or repeated kick down driv-
ing mechanism, the transmission
clutch could overheat. This over-
use of transmission leads to
vibration or shudder and a shift
indicator on LCD will blink and
LCD warning message
"Transmission temp. is high!
Stop Safely" will appear also.
Then, clutch protection mode
will activate and the clutch will
be disabled until the temperature
returns to normal. Quickly pull
over to a safe level ground, shift
to Park and apply the foot brake
with engine ON until the LCD
warning messages disappears. If
you ignore the warning, the
transmission may be damaged.

(Continued)
Gear shifts may be more recog-
nizable than conventional auto-
matic transmission. This is nor-
mal for dual clutch transmission.
If the shift indicator continues
to blink, we recommend that
you contact an authorised Kia
dealer for service.
WARNING
Due to transmission failure, the
vehicle may not move and the
position indicator (D,R) will
blink on the cluster. In this case,
have the system checked by a
professional workshop. KIA rec-
ommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
