Dct Warning Messages - Kia Cerato 2021 Manual

Driving your vehicle
to a conventional automatic
transmission.
Dual clutch transmission adopts
dry-type dual clutch, which is dif -
ferent from torque converter of
automatic transmission, and
shows better acceleration perfor -
mance during driving. But, initial
launch might be little bit slower
than automatic transmission.
The dry-type clutch transfers
torque and provides a direct driv -
ing feeling which may feel differ -
ent from a conventional
automatic transmission with a
torque converter. This may be
more noticeable when starting
from a stop or low vehicle speed.
When rapidly accelerating at low
vehicle speed, engine could rev at
high rpm depending on vehicle
drive condition.
For smooth launch uphill, press
down the accelerator pedal
smoothly depending on the cur -
rent conditions.
If you release your foot from the
accelerator pedal at low vehicle
speed, you may feel strong
engine brake, which is similar to
manual transmission.
When driving downhill, you may
use manual mode to downshift to
a lower gear in order to control
your speed without using the
brake pedal excessively.
When you turn the engine on and
off, you may hear clicking sounds
Dual clutch transmission (DCT)
as the system goes through a self
test. This is a normal sound for
the Dual Clutch Transmission.
WARNING
Due to transmission failure, the
vehicle may not move and the posi -
tion indicator (D, R) will blink on the
cluster. In this case, have the sys -
tem checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
