Automatic Transaxle Operation - Kia Picanto 2016 Owner's Manual

Driving your vehicle
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)

Automatic transaxle operation

The automatic transaxle has 4 forward
speeds and one reverse speed. The indi-
vidual 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).
Depress the brake pedal when shifting.
The shift lever can be shifted freely.
