1.32. An automatic transmission

THE GENERAL DATA

Work with an automatic transmission

For normal advance include a mode "D" (movement).

For transfer of the lever of switching of modes from position "Р" (parking), it is necessary to turn the ignition key in position "ON", completely to press a pedal of a brake and to press the safety blocking button.

For smooth switching of the lever of switching of modes from position "N" (neutral) in position of advance or back completely press a brake pedal.

---

The prevention

Do not press an accelerator pedal if the backing mode "R" or any mode of advance is included, and the brake pedal is thus pressed.

For a car stop on lifting or descent do not use the engine. Use the basic or lay brake.

Do not switch a mode of movement from position "N" (neutral) or "Р" (parking) in position "1", "2", "D" (movement) or "R" (backing) if the engine has frequency of rotation above idling.

Transmission operating modes

SYSTEM OF LOWERING TRANSFER O/D

Pressing the button of system of lowering transfer O/D, switch on and off system. When the system is switched off (the button is pressed), control lamp OFF burns (is switched off) systems O/D, and the range of transfers of a box is limited with 1st on 3rd. 4th transfer will not join, while system O/D button again will not be pressed.

If ignition is switched off, the mode of deenergizing of system O/D is automatically disconnected.

CONTROL LAMP OF DEENERGIZING OF SYSTEM O/D

The control lamp in a combination of devices will light up, if system O/D is switched off.

---

The prevention

The blinking of a control lamp of deenergizing O/D signals about malfunction in electric system of a transmission. If it happens, as soon as possible pass the technical control at authorised dealer Kia.

MODES OF NORMAL WORK

Mode "Р" (parking)

Switching in this mode will block a transmission and wheels. Completely stop the car before inclusion of this mode.

---

The prevention

Mode inclusion "Р" (parking) during movement will block forward wheels and the car becomes completely uncontrollable.

Mode inclusion "Р" (parking) during movement can cause transmission damage.

Leaving the car, do not use a mode "Р" (parking) instead of a lay brake. Be always convinced that the lever of switching of modes is in position "Р" (parking), and it cannot be moved in other position, without having pressed the safety button. The lever of a lay brake should be lifted upwards to the full. Always leaving the car, muffle the engine. Never leave the car without supervision with working engine. The car can begin movement with a place if not to observe these recommendations.

---

Mode "R" (backing)

Switch in it a mode for movement by a backing.

---

The prevention

Before to include backing transfer "R", be convinced that the car is completely stopped. At mode inclusion "R" it is possible to damage a transmission if the car moves.

---

Mode "N" (neutral)

In this mode are not blocked neither the engine, nor wheels. The car can get under way from a place even on flat descent if it is not braked by the basic or lay brake.

Mode "D" (movement)

It is a mode for normal advance. The transmission will automatically choose one of four transfers, providing the best fuel profitability and capacity of the engine.

For achievement большей capacities, for example, at overtaking or at steep slope overcoming, press an accelerator pedal to the full, and the transmission will be switched to the lowest transfer.

Mode "2"

This mode is necessary for including at slow movement in a dense steam of cars or lifting on a steep slope. This mode also provides braking by the engine at movement from descent and reduces proslipping of wheels on slippery road.

Mode "1"

This mode is necessary for including, if the big traction effort is required at towage of other car or during movement on a steep slope or descent.

Трогание from a place on a steep slope

For трогания from a place on a steep slope press a brake pedal, and the lever of switching of modes put in position "D" (movement), "1" or "2" depending on loading of the car and a steepness of lifting and release the lever of a lay brake. Gradually press an accelerator pedal, simultaneously releasing a pedal of the basic brake.
