Pulling either the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once will trigger an immediate gear change and transition the
Kia Carnival transmission from automatic to manual mode.
To return to automatic shift mode, you can use any of the following methods:
- Pull and hold the [+] paddle shifter for more than one second.
- Move the shift lever from D (Drive) to the manual gate and then return it to the D position.
The system will also automatically revert to automatic mode in these situations:
- When the accelerator pedal is gently depressed for more than 6 seconds while driving (this feature is disabled in
Sport mode).
- When the vehicle speed drops below 4 mph (7 km/h).
While in manual mode, simply pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter to perform sequential gear changes.
NOTICE
Please note that pulling both the [+] and [-] paddle shifters simultaneously will result in no gear change.
