Automatic transaxle operation

The automatic transaxle has 8 for-
ward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected
automatically, depending on the
position of the shift lever.

✽

✽

NOTICE

The first few shifts on a new vehicle,
if the battery has been disconnected,
may be somewhat abrupt. This is a
normal condition, and the shifting
sequence will adjust after shifts are
cycled a few times by the TCM
(Transaxle Control Module) or
PCM (Powertrain Control Module).

For smooth operation, depress the
brake pedal and the lock release but-
ton when shifting from N (Neutral) to

Driving your vehicle

When stopped on an incline, do not
hold the vehicle with the engine
power. Use the service brake or the
parking brake.

Transaxle ranges

The indicator in the instrument clus-
ter displays the shift lever position
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.

P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park). This
position locks the transaxle and pre-
vents the drive wheels from rotating.
Shifting into P (Park) while the vehi-
cle is in motion will cause the drive
wheels to lock which will cause you
to lose control of the vehicle.

R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.

N (Neutral)
The wheels and transaxle are not
engaged. The vehicle will roll freely
even on the slightest incline unless
the parking brake or service brakes
are applied.

WARNING

- Leaving

Vehicle

Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always make sure the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position; then
set the parking brake fully and
shut the engine off. Do not use
the P position in place of the
parking brake. Always make
sure the shift lever is locked in
the P position and set the park-
ing brake fully. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement can
occur if these precautions are
not followed.

CAUTION

- Transaxle

To avoid damage to your
transaxle, do not accelerate the
engine in R (Reverse) or any for-
ward gear position with the
brakes on. The transaxle may be
damaged if you shift into P
(Park) while the vehicle is in
motion.

CAUTION

- Shifting

Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of R
(Reverse); you may damage the
transaxle if you shift into R
(Reverse) while the vehicle is in
motion, except when “Rocking
the vehicle” explained in this
chapter.

is in [P].

4.Change the gear shift lever to [N]

(Neutral) while depressing the
brake pedal and inserting a tool
(e.g. flathead screw-driver) into the
[SHIFT LOCK RELEASE] access
hole at the same time. Then, the
vehicle will move when external
force is applied.

✽

✽

NOTICE

• After the ignition switch has been

turned off, the EPB (Electronic
Parking Brake) cannot be released.

• For EPB (Electronic Parking

Brake) equipped vehicles with
[AUTO HOLD] function used
while driving, if the ignition but-
ton has been turned [OFF], the
EPB (Electronic Parking Brake)
will be engaged automatically.
Therefore, [AUTO HOLD] func-
tion should be turned off before
the ignition button is turned off.

WARNING

- Parking In

Neutral

• With the exception of parking

in neutral gear, always park the
vehicle in [P] (Park) for safety
and apply the parking brake.

• Before parking in [N] (Neutral)

gear, make sure the parking
ground is level and flat. Do not
park in [N] gear on any slopes
or gradients. If parked and left
in [N], the vehicle may move
and cause serious damage or
injury.

5 13

Driving your vehicle

D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving
position. The transaxle will automati-
cally shift through an 8-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.

For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or climbing grades,
depress the accelerator fully, at
which time the transaxle will auto-
matically downshift to the next lower
gear.

Manual mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in motion, manual mode is selected
by pushing the shift lever from the D
(Drive) position into the manual gate.
To return to D (Drive) range opera-
tion, push the shift lever back into the
main gate.

In manual mode, moving the shift
lever backwards and forwards will
allow you to make gearshifts rapidly.
In contrast to a manual transaxle, the
manual mode allows gearshifts with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
Up (+) : Push the lever forward once

to shift up one gear.

Down (-) : Pull the lever backwards

once to shift down one
gear.

• In manual mode, the driver must

execute upshifts in accordance
with road conditions, taking care to
keep the engine speed below the
red zone.

• In manual mode, only the 8 forward

gears can be selected. To reverse
or park the vehicle, move the shift
lever to the R (Reverse) or P (Park)
position as required.

OYG056013

CAUTION

- Starter

If the engine stalls while the
vehicle is in motion, do not
attempt to move the shift lever
to the P (Park) position. If the
traffic and road conditions per-
mit, you may put the shift lever
in the N (Neutral) position while
the vehicle is still moving and
press the ENGINE START/STOP
button in an attempt to restart
the engine.

Driving your vehicle

• In manual mode, downshifts are

made automatically when the vehi-
cle slows down. When the vehicle
stops, 1st gear is automatically
selected.

• In manual mode, when the engine

rpm approaches the red zone shift
points are varied to upshift auto-
matically.

• To maintain the required levels of

vehicle performance and safety,
the system may not execute cer-
tain gearshifts when the shift lever
is operated.

• When driving on a slippery road,

push the shift lever forward into the
+(up) position. This causes the
transaxle to shift into the 2nd gear
which is better for smooth driving
on a slippery road. Push the shift
lever to the -(down) side to shift
back to the 1st gear.

Paddle shifter (if equipped)

The paddle shifter is available when
the shift lever is in the D position or
the manual mode.

With the shift lever in the D position
The paddle shifter will operate when
the vehicle speed is more than 6
mph (10 km/h).
Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once
to shift up or down one gear and the
system changes from automatic
mode to manual mode.
When the vehicle speed is lower than
6 mph (10 km/h), if you depress the
accelerator pedal for more than 5
seconds or if you shift the shift lever
from D (Drive) to manual mode and
shift it from manual mode to D (Drive)
again, the system changes from
manual mode to automatic mode.

With the shift lever in the manual mode
Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once
to shift up or down one gear.

✽

✽

NOTICE

If you pull the [+] and [-] paddle
shifters at the same time, you cannot
shift the gear.

Driving your vehicle

Shift lock system

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.Start the engine or turn the ignition

switch to the ON position.

3.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 & vibration near the
shift lever may be heard. It is a nor-
mal condition.

Shift-lock override
If the shift lever cannot be moved
from the P (Park) position into R
(Reverse) position with the brake
pedal depressed, continue depress-
ing the brake, then do the following:
1. Place the ignition switch in the

LOCK/OFF position.

2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Carefully remove the cap (1) cov-

ering the shift-lock release access
hole.

4. Insert a tool (e.g. flathead screw-

driver) into the access hole and
press down on the tool.

WARNING

- Shifting from

park

Always fully depress the brake
pedal before and while 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 vehicle.

5. Move the shift lever.
6. Remove the tool from the shift-lock

override access hole then install
the cap.

7. We recommend that the system be

inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.

Ignition key interlock system

The ignition key cannot be removed
unless the shift lever is in the P
(Park) position. Even if the ignition
switch is in the LOCK position, the
key cannot be removed.
If your vehicle is equipped with
ENGINE START/STOP button, the
button will not change to the OFF
position unless the shift lever is in the
P (Park) position.

Good driving practices

• Never move the gear shift lever

from P (Park) to any other position
with the accelerator pedal
depressed.

• Never move the gear shift lever into

P (Park) when the vehicle is in
motion.

• Slow down before shifting to a

lower gear. Otherwise, the lower
gear may not be engaged.

• Always use the parking brake. Do

not depend on placing the
transaxle in P (Park) to keep the
vehicle from moving.

• Optimum vehicle performance and

economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator pedal.

✽

✽

NOTICE

- Kickdown

Mechanism

Use the kickdown mechanism for
maximum acceleration. Depress the
accelerator pedal beyond the pres-
sure point. The automatic transaxle
will shift to a lower gear depending
on the engine speed.

Moving up a steep grade from a
standing start

To move up a steep grade from a
standing start, depress the brake
pedal, shift the shift lever to D
(Drive). Select the appropriate gear
depending on load weight and steep-
ness of the grade, and release the
parking brake. Depress the accelera-
tor gradually while releasing the
service brakes.

5 17

Driving your vehicle

Power brakes

Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
In the event that the power-assisted
brakes lose power because of a
stalled engine or some other reason,
you can still stop your vehicle by
applying greater force to the brake
pedal than you normally would. The
stopping distance, however, will be
longer.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially
depleted each time the brake pedal
is applied. Do not pump the brake
pedal when the power assist has
been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con-
trol on slippery surfaces.

Wet brakes may impair the vehicle’s
ability to safely slow down; the vehi-
cle may also pull to one side when
the brakes are applied. Applying the
brakes lightly will indicate whether
they have been affected in this way.
Always test your brakes in this fash-
ion after driving through deep water.
To dry the brakes, apply them lightly
while maintaining a safe forward
speed until brake performance
returns to normal.

BRAKE SYSTEM

WARNING

- Steep hill

braking

Avoid continuous application of
the brakes when descending a
long or steep hill by shifting to a
lower gear. Continuous brake
application will cause the brakes
to overheat and could result in a
temporary loss of braking per-
formance.

CAUTION

- Brake Pedal

Do not drive with your foot rest-
ing on the brake pedal. This will
create abnormally high brake
temperatures which can cause
excessive brake lining and pad
wear.

Driving your vehicle

In the event of brake failure

If the service brakes fail to operate
while the vehicle is in motion, you
can make an emergency stop with
the parking brake. The stopping dis-
tance, however, will be much greater
than normal.

Disc brakes wear indicator

When your brake pads are worn and
new pads are required, you will hear
a high-pitched warning sound from
your front brakes or rear brakes. You
may hear this sound come and go or
it may occur whenever you depress
the brake pedal.
Please remember that some driving
conditions or climates may cause a
brake squeal when you first apply (or
lightly apply) the brakes. This is nor-
mal and does not indicate a problem
with your brakes.
Always replace the front or rear
brake pads as pairs.

WARNING

-

Parking
brake

Avoid applying the parking
brake to stop the vehicle while it
is moving except in an emer-
gency situation. Applying the
parking brake while the vehicle
is moving at normal speeds can
cause a sudden loss of control
of the vehicle. If you must use
the parking brake to stop the
vehicle, use great caution in
applying the brake.

WARNING

- Brake wear

Do not ignore high pitched wear
sounds from your brakes. If you
ignore this audible warning, you
will eventually lose braking per-
formance, which could lead to a
serious accident.

CAUTION

- Replace brake

pads

Do not continue to drive with
worn brake pads. Continuing to
drive with worn brake pads can
damage the braking system and
result in costly brake repairs.
