1. Do not race or accelerate the en‐

gine immediately after starting.

If the engine is cold, idle for several

seconds before sufficient lubrica‐

tion is ensured in the turbocharger

unit.

2. After high speed or extended driv‐

ing, requiring a heavy engine load,

idle the engine about 1 minute be‐

fore turning it off.

This idle time will allow the turbo‐

charger to cool prior to shutting the

engine off.

CAUTION

Do not turn the engine off immedi‐

ately after it has been subjected to a

heavy load. Doing so may cause se‐

vere damage to the engine or turbo‐

charger unit.

MANUAL TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)

* The actual shift lever in the vehicle

may differ from the illustration.

Manual transaxle operation

The manual transaxle has 6 forward

gears.

This shift pattern is imprinted on the

shift knob. The transaxle is fully

synchronized in all forward gears so

shifting to either a higher or a lower

gear is easily accomplished.

Press the clutch pedal down fully while

shifting, then release it slowly.

If your vehicle is equipped with an igni‐

tion lock switch, the engine will not

start when starting the engine without

depressing the clutch pedal.

The gearshift lever must be returned to

the neutral position before shifting into

R (Reverse).

The button (1) located immediately be‐

low the shift knob must be pulled up‐

ward while moving the shift lever to

the R position.

Make sure the vehicle is completely

stopped before shifting into R (Re‐

verse).
Never operate the engine with the

tachometer (rpm) in the red zone.

CAUTION

• When downshifting from fifth gear

to fourth gear, caution should be

taken not to inadvertently press

the gear shift lever sideways in

such a manner that second gear is

engaged. Such a drastic downshift

may cause the engine speed to in‐

crease to the point that the tach‐

ometer will enter the red-zone.

Such over-revving of the engine

may possibly cause engine and

transaxle damage.

• Do not downshift more than 2

gears or downshift the gear when

the engine is running at high speed

(5,000 RPM or higher). Such a

downshifting may damage the en‐

gine, clutch and the transaxle.

• When shifting from 5th gear to

6th gear or from 6th gear to 5th

gear, push the shift lever to the

right while shifting. Otherwise, the

shift lever might move to 3rd gear

or 4th gear and it may damage the

engine and transaxle.

(Continued)

Driving your vehicle

6-16

(Continued)

• Do not exceed the maximum load

limit. When an overloaded vehicle

is in motion, the extra load will put

excessive pressure on the clutch

disk and cause overheating. This

may damage the clutch cover and

clutch disc.

• During cold weather, shifting may be

difficult until the transaxle lubricant

has warmed up. This is normal and

not harmful to the transaxle.

• If you've come to a complete stop

and it's hard to shift into 1st or R

(Reverse), put the shift lever in N

(Neutral) position and release the

clutch. Press the clutch pedal back

down, and then shift into 1st or R

(Reverse) gear position.

CAUTION

• To avoid premature clutch wear

and damage, do not drive with

your foot resting on the clutch

pedal. Also, don’t use the clutch to

hold the vehicle stopped on an up‐

hill grade, while waiting for a traf‐

fic light, etc.

• To prevent possible damage to the

clutch system, do not start with

the 2nd (second) gear engaged ex‐

cept when you start on a slippery

road.

• Do not use the shift lever as a

handrest during driving, as this can

result in premature wear of the

transaxle shift forks.

• When operating the clutch pedal,

press the clutch pedal down fully.

If you don't press the clutch pedal

fully, the clutch may be damaged

or noise may occur.

WARNING

• Before leaving the driver’s seat, al‐

ways set the parking brake fully

and shut the engine off. Then

make sure the transaxle is shifted

into 1st gear when the vehicle is

parked on a level or uphill grade,

and shifted into R (Reverse) on a

downhill grade. Unexpected and

sudden vehicle movement can oc‐

cur if these precautions are not

followed in the order identified.

• Do not use the engine brake (shift‐

ing from a high gear to lower gear)

rapidly on slippery roads. The vehi‐

cle may slip causing an accident.

• If your vehicle has a manual trans‐

axle not equipped with a ignition

lock switch, it may move and

cause a serious accident when

starting the engine without de‐

pressing the clutch pedal while the

parking brake is released and the

shift lever not in the N (Neutral)

position.

(Continued)

Driving your v

ehicle

(Continued)

• If the clutch pedal is released im‐

mediately after changing the gear

after the vehicle is in motion, the

engine may turn Off suddenly and

can be dangerous.

Using the clutch

The clutch should be pressed all the

way to the floor before shifting, then

released slowly. The clutch pedal should

always be fully released while driving.

Do not rest your foot on the clutch

pedal while driving. This can cause un‐

necessary wear. Do not partially en‐

gage the clutch to hold the car on an

incline. This causes unnecessary wear.

Use the foot brake or parking brake to

hold the car on an incline. Do not oper‐

ate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeat‐

edly.

Downshifting

When you must slow down in heavy

traffic or while driving up steep hills,

downshift before the engine starts to

labor. Downshifting reduces the chance

of stalling and gives better acceleration

when you again need to increase your

speed. When the vehicle is traveling

down steep hills, downshifting helps

maintain safe speed and prolongs brake

life.

Good driving practices

• Never take the vehicle out of gear

and coast down a hill. This is ex‐

tremely hazardous. Always leave the

vehicle in gear.

• Don't "ride" the brakes. This can

cause them to overheat and malfunc‐

tion. Instead, when you are driving

down a long hill, slow down and shift

to a lower gear. When you do this,

engine braking will help slow down

the vehicle.

• Slow down before shifting to a lower

gear. This will help avoid over-revving

the engine, which can cause damage.

• Slow down when you encounter cross

winds. This gives you much better

control of your vehicle.

• Be sure the vehicle is completely

stopped before you attempt to shift

into reverse. The transaxle can be

damaged if you do not. To shift into

reverse, depress the clutch, move the

shift lever to neutral, then shift to

the reverse position.

• Exercise extreme caution when driv‐

ing on a slippery surface. Be especial‐

ly careful when braking, accelerating

or shifting gears. On a slippery sur‐

face, an abrupt change in vehicle

speed can cause the drive wheels to

lose traction and the vehicle to go out

of control.

WARNING

• Always buckle-up! In a collision, an

unbelted occupant is significantly

more likely to be seriously injured

or killed than a properly belted oc‐

cupant.

• Avoid high speeds when cornering

or turning.

• Do not make quick steering wheel

movements, such as sharp lane

changes or fast, sharp turns.

(Continued)

• The risk of rollover is greatly in‐

creased if you lose control of your

vehicle at highway speeds.

• Loss of control often occurs if two

or more wheels drop off the road‐

way and the driver oversteers to

reenter the roadway.

• In the event your vehicle leaves

the roadway, do not steer sharply.

Instead, slow down before pulling

back into the travel lanes.

• Never exceed posted speed limits.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)

Automatic transaxle operation

The automatic transaxle has 6 forward

speeds and one reverse speed. The in‐

dividual speeds are selected automati‐

cally, depending on the position of the

shift lever.

NOTICE

The first few shifts on a new vehicle,

if the battery has been disconnec‐

ted, may be somewhat abrupt. This

is a normal condition, and the shift‐

ing 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 when shifting from N (Neu‐

tral) to a forward or reverse gear.

(Continued)

• Always check the surrounding

areas near your vehicle for people,

especially children, before shifting

a car into D (Drive) or R (Reverse).

• Before leaving the driver’s seat, al‐

ways make sure the shift lever is

in the P (Park) position; then set

the parking brake fully and shut

the engine off. Unexpected and

sudden vehicle movement can oc‐

cur if these precautions are not

followed in the order identified.

• Do not use the engine brake (shift‐

ing from a high gear to lower gear)

rapidly on slippery roads.

The vehicle may slip causing an ac‐

cident.

CAUTION

• To avoid damage to your trans‐

axle, do not accelerate the engine

in R (Reverse) or any forward gear

position with the brakes on.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• When stopped on an incline, do not

hold the vehicle stationary with

engine power. Use the service

brake or the parking brake.

• Do not shift from N (Neutral) or P

(Park) into D (Drive), or R (Reverse)

when the engine is above idle

speed.

Transaxle ranges

The indicator in the instrument cluster

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 prevents the

front wheels from rotating.

WARNING

• Shifting into P (Park) while the ve‐

hicle is in motion will cause the

drive wheels to lock which will

cause you to lose control of the

vehicle.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Do not use the P (Park) position in

place of the parking brake. Always

make sure the shift lever is latch‐

ed in the P (Park) position and set

the parking brake fully.

• Never leave a child unattended in a

vehicle.

CAUTION

The transaxle may be damaged if

you shift into P (Park) while the ve‐

hicle is in motion.

R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle

backward.

CAUTION

Always come to a complete stop be‐

fore shifting into or out of R (Re‐

verse); you may damage the trans‐

axle if you shift into R while the ve‐

hicle is in motion, except as ex‐

N (Neutral)
The wheels and transaxle are not en‐

gaged. The vehicle will roll freely even

on the slightest incline unless the park‐

ing brake or service brakes are applied.

WARNING

Do not drive with the shift lever in N

(Neutral).

The engine brake will not work and

lead to an accident.

-Parking in N (Neutral) gear
Follow below steps when parking and

you want the vehicle to move when

pushed.

1. After parking your vehicle, step on

the brake pedal and move the shift

lever to "P" with the ignition button

in "ON" or while the engine is run‐

ning.

2. If the parking brake is applied un‐

lock the parking brake.

3. While pressing the brake pedal,

turn the ignition button "OFF".

- For smart key equipped vehicles,

the ignition switch can be moved

to "OFF" only when the shift lev‐

er is in "P".

4. Change the gear shift lever to "N"

(Neutral) while pressing the brake

pedal and pushing "SHIFT LOCK RE‐

LEASE" button or inserting, press‐

ing down 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.

CAUTION

• With the exception of parking in

neutral gear, always park the vehi‐

cle in "P" (Park) for safety and en‐

gage the parking brake.

• Before parking in "N" (Neutral)

gear, first 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 vehi‐

cle may move and cause serious

damage and injury

D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving posi‐

tion. The transaxle will automatically

shift through a 6-gear sequence, pro‐

viding the best fuel economy and pow‐

er.

For extra power when passing another

vehicle or climbing grades, depress the

accelerator fully, at which time the

transaxle will automatically downshift

to the next lower gear.

NOTICE

Always come to a complete stop be‐

fore shifting into D (Drive).

Sports mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in

motion, sports mode is selected by

pushing the shift lever from the D

(Drive) position into the manual gate.

To return to D (Drive) range operation,

push the shift lever back into the main

gate.

In sports mode, moving the shift lever

backwards and forwards will allow you

to make gearshifts rapidly. In contrast

to a manual transaxle, the sports 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.

NOTICE

• In sports mode, the driver must

execute upshifts in accordance

with road conditions, taking care

to keep the engine speed below

the red zone.

• In sports mode, only the 6 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.

• In sports mode, downshifts are

made automatically when the ve‐

hicle slows down. When the vehicle

stops, 1st gear is automatically

selected.

• In sports mode, when the engine

rpm approaches the red zone shift

points are varied to upshift auto‐

matically.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• To maintain the required levels of

vehicle performance and safety,

the system may not execute cer‐

tain gearshifts when the shift lev‐

er 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.

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 can't

shift the gear.

Shift lock system (if equipped)

For your safety, the automatic trans‐

axle has a shift lock system which pre‐

vents shifting the transaxle from P

(Park) into R (Reverse) unless the brake

pedal is depressed.

To shift the transaxle from P (Park) in‐

to 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 de‐

pressed and released with the shift lev‐

er in the P (Park) position, a chattering

noise near the shift lever may be heard.

This is a normal condition.

WARNING

Always fully depress the brake pedal

before and while shifting out of the

P (Park) position into another posi‐

tion to avoid inadvertent motion of

the vehicle which could injure per‐

sons in or around the vehicle.

Shift-lock override

If the shift lever cannot be moved from

the P (Park) position into R (Reverse)

position with the brake pedal de‐

pressed, continue depressing 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) cover‐

ing 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.

5. Move the shift lever.

6. Remove the tool from the shiftlock

override access hole then install the

7. Have the system inspected by a

professional workshop. Kia recom‐

mends to visit an authorized Kia

dealer/service partner.

Ignition key interlock system (if

equipped)

The ignition key cannot be removed un‐

less the shift lever is in the P (Park) po‐

sition.

Good driving practices

• Never move the shift lever from P

(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other po‐

sition with the accelerator pedal de‐

pressed.

• Never move the shift lever into P

(Park) when the vehicle is in motion.

• Be sure the vehicle is completely

stopped before you attempt to shift

into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).

• Never take the vehicle out of gear

and coast down a hill. This may be

extremely hazardous. Always leave

the vehicle in gear when moving.

• Do not "ride" the brakes. This can

cause them to overheat and malfunc‐

tion. Instead, when you are driving

down a long hill, slow down and shift

to a lower gear. When you do this,

engine braking will help slow down

the vehicle.

• 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 mov‐

ing.

• Exercise extreme caution when driv‐

ing on a slippery surface. Be especial‐

ly careful when braking, accelerating

or shifting gears. On a slippery sur‐

face, an abrupt change in vehicle

speed can cause the drive wheels to

lose traction and the vehicle to go out

of control.

• Optimum vehicle performance and

economy is obtained by smoothly de‐

pressing and releasing the accelera‐

tor pedal.

WARNING

If your vehicle becomes stuck in

snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may

attempt to rock the vehicle free by

moving it forward and backward. Do

not attempt this procedure if people

or objects are anywhere near the ve‐

hicle. During the rocking operation

the vehicle may suddenly move for‐

ward or backward as it becomes un‐

stuck, causing injury or damage to

nearby people or objects.

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 steepness of the grade, and

release the parking brake. Depress the

accelerator gradually while releasing

the service brakes.

When accelerating from a stop on a

steep hill, the vehicle may have a ten‐

dency to roll backwards. Shifting the

shift lever into 2 (Second Gear) will help

prevent the vehicle from rolling back‐

wards.
