When driving under severe conditions such as repeated suddenstarts and sudden acceleration, the transmission may overheat, and a warning sound and a waring 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 an authorized Kia dealer to prevent unexpected accidents. Overheated transmissions may lead to accidents.

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 an authorized Kia dealer to prevent unexpected accidents.

When the message "Trans cooled. Resume driving" appears you can continue to drive your vehicle.
