Kia XCeed 2020 Owner's Manual page 361

Driving your vehicle
steep grades, sudden take off or
acceleration, or other harsh driving
conditions, the transmission
clutch temperatures will increase
excessively. Finally the clutch in
transmission could be overheated.
• When the clutch is overheated, the
safe protection mode engages and
the gear position indicator on the
cluster blinks with a chime. At this
time, "Transmission temp. is high!
Stop safely" warning message
will appear on the LCD display and
driving may not be smooth.
• 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.
• When possible, drive the vehicle
smoothly.
