Transmission overheated
OSP2I059018E
When driving under severe condi -
tions such as repeated sudden
starts and sudden acceleration,
the transmission may overheat,
and a warning sound and a warn -
ing message appear on the
instrument cluster due to the
self-protection mode.
If this occurs, pull over to a safe
location, stop the vehicle with the
engine running, apply brakes and
shift the gear to P (Park), and
allow the transmission to cool.
If the warning message continues
to appear, have the system
checked by a professional work -
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
6 46
Intelligent variable transmission (IVT)
authorised Kia dealer to prevent
unexpected accidents.
Vehicle power limited
OSP2I059018E
If the transmission continues to
drive overheating and reaches its
maximum temperature, the
above warning message appears.
In this case, the vehicle limits
transmission power by its self -
protection mode.
When such a situation occurs,
normal driving is restricted until
the transmission goes down to
normal temperature, so after
moving the vehicle to a safe place,
shift the gear to P (Park) with the
engine running and wait several
minutes until the warning on the
screen disappears.
If the warning message continues
to appear, have the system
checked by a professional work -
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer to prevent
unexpected accidents.
