Driving your vehicle
OMQ4050032R
When driving on muddy and sandy
roads under the severe condition,
the transmission could be over-
heated.
When the transmission is over-
heated, the safe protection mode
engages and the "Transmission
Hot! Park with engine on" warning
message will appear on the LCD
display with a chime.
If this occurs, pull over to a safe
location, stop the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the brakes
and shift the vehicle to P (Park),
and allow the transmission to
cool.
If you ignore this warning, the
driving condition may become
worse. You may experience
abrupt shifts, frequent shifts, or
jerkiness. To return to the normal
driving condition, stop the vehicle
and apply the foot brake or shift
into P (Park). Then allow the
transmission to cool for a few
minutes with engine on, before
driving off.
All Wheel Drive (AWD) system
When the message "Trans cooled.
Resume driving" appears you can
continue to drive your vehicle.
If the warning messages in the LCD
display continue to blink, for your
safety, have the system checked by
a professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
Tyre precautions
Always pay attention to tyres for
AWD (all-wheel drive) vehicles.
When driving in all-wheel drive, driv-
ing force is applied to all tyres, and
the driving performance of the vehi-
cle is greatly affected by the degree
of tyre wear:
When replacing tyres, be sure to
equip all four tyres with the same
size, type, tread, brand and load-
carrying capacity. Do not use tyre
and wheel with different size and
type from the one originally
installed on your vehicle. It can
affect the safety and perfor-
mance of your vehicle, which
could lead to steering failure or
rollover causing serious injury.
Replace the front and rear tyre
positions every 10,000 km.
Each tyre should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on
