Automatic Transmission; Automatic Transmission Operation - Kia Cerato 2021 Manual

Driving your vehicle
WARNING
Always buckle-up! In a collision, an
unbelted occupant is significantly
more likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly belted
occupant.
Avoid high speeds when cornering
or turning.
Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
The risk of rollover is greatly
increased 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.
