Kia Telluride 2023 Owner's Manual page 245

Driving your vehicle
僅 Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
僅 The risk of a rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
僅 Losing control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver oversteers to reenter
the roadway.
僅 In the event your vehicle leaves the
roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
僅 Never exceed posted speed limits.
WARNING
If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt
to rock the vehicle free by moving it for-
ward and backward. Do not attempt this
procedure if people or objects are any-
where near the vehicle. During the rock-
ing operation the vehicle may suddenly
move forward or backward as it
becomes unstuck, causing injury or
damage to nearby people or objects.
Moving up a steep grade from a
standing start
To move up a steep grade from a stand-
ing start:
1. Press the brake pedal, release the
parking break, and shift the shift lever
to D (Drive).
2. Select the appropriate gear depend-
ing on load weight and steepness of
the grade, and release the parking
brake.
3. Press the accelerator gradually while
releasing the service brakes.
Automatic transmission
When accelerating from a stop on a
steep hill, the vehicle may have a ten-
dency to roll backwards.
WARNING
When you start driving after the car was
stopped on a hill, even though the shift
lever is in D (Driving) position, if you do
not step on the accelerator pedal or
brake pedal, the car may roll backward,
resulting in a fatal accident.
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into D (Drive).
