Kia Stinger: Automatic transmission / Good driving practices
- Never move the gear shift lever from P (Park) to any other position with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
- Never move the gear shift lever into P (Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
- Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may
not be engaged.
- Always use the parking brake. Do not depend on placing the transmission
in P (Park) to keep the vehicle from moving.
- Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly depressing
and releasing the accelerator pedal.
✽ NOTICE - Kickdown Mechanism

pedal beyond the pressure point. The automatic transmission will shift to a lower
gear depending on the engine speed.

gradually while releasing the brake pedal.
