Driving your vehicle
Shift lock system (if equipped)
For your safety, the automatic
transaxle has a shift lock system
which prevents shifting the transaxle
from P (Park) into R (Reverse)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transaxle from P (Park)
into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Move the shift lever.
If the brake pedal is repeatedly
depressed and released with the
shift lever in the P (Park) position, a
chattering noise near the shift lever
may be heard. This is a normal con-
dition.
Shift-lock override
If the shift lever cannot be moved
from the P (Park) or N (Neutral) posi-
tion into R (Reverse) position with
the brake pedal depressed, continue
depressing the brake, then do the fol-
lowing:
Type A
1. Carefully remove the cap (1) cov-
ering the shift-lock override
access hole.
2. Insert a screwdriver into the
access hole and press down on
the screwdriver.
3. Move the shift lever.
4. Have the system inspected by a
professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
Type B
1. Press the shift-lock release button.
2. Move the shift lever.
3. Have the system inspected by a

WARNING
Always fully depress the brake
pedal before and whilst shifting
out of the P (Park) position into
another position to avoid inad-
vertent motion of the vehicle
which could injure persons in
or around the car.
