[@Eye-it-azz]

I’ve driven Kia’s for over 10 years, never bothered to use mine. It’s stupid, manual cars are so outdated and obsolete

[@StarrDust0]

cute host, good explanation

[@kellymahabir4229]

The info was great ,as you are beautiful,thanks

[@Ayokyoran]

But how do I turn off assist

[@Eli-qr9hc]

Just wondering, is it necessary to lift for a second your foot off the gas (like a clutch) when shifting up?

[@throwarocknow]

Eli no

[@Eye-it-azz]

No

[@Leylaashley]

O.o I can go manual like already going 35mph..?😊

[@hilariogomez6260]

do I have to keep pressing, gas while I switch gear???

[@shubhamhaldankar3197]

Even I have the same doubt

[@nickloss2377]

@@shubhamhaldankar3197 yes, you can. when you 'gear up', the engine does all the work for you. It'll disengage the gas, engage the clutch, gear up, and return to applying gas. It does everything a human driver would do in a traditional manual transmission in a fraction of the time.

[@hayderdragovic1300]

Yes u can

[@Altima13]

@@nickloss2377 yo thank you so much I was worried about that!!!!!

[@donnarachiele1226]

Help i drive a Kia Spectra what gear should i use driving down steep windy hill in 2nd the car still seems too fast.My gears go from drive 2 3rd to 1 im confused.My old car a nissan i could drop to 1 on steep slippery hill? Anyone have correct answer its automatic?

[@clone1137]

Should I be using this while descending a mountain to keep my brakes cool? Or is it bad for the transmission or engine?

[@bhootking420]

Do I have to be in sports mode to use the sportmatic shifting?

[@austinshaner4087]

No you don’t but it’s more fun if you are lol

[@nizodizo9549]

So Kia use's a 6 speed dual clutch transmission?

[@MrSunSetts]

No. Confusing yes. But for kia and Hyundai a safe assumption is that if its a 6 speed it is a "electronically controlled automatic transmission" that has a torque converter. If it has seven speeds it is a dual clutch. Hopedully this dct faze will wear off. Hyundai and kias are not so bad from what i hear..... but thats what dct do.... they work fine... till they shit themselves suddenly.

[@Yolathegreat1970]

I have a 2016 Kia Forte 5 that I only drive using the dct ,I love it and with the aftermarket pipe,so far if u know when u up& down shift u should be good

[@christianuba4989]

I have Kia optima car 2010 mondel it has gear issues and it can not access to any other gears only 3 position

[@shippo481]

I had my Kia for 10 years and still never used sports mode 😂

[@babyrob9419]

I live in Houston and got to go sport mode when lane switching so that a big ass f150 king ranch won’t run my small little Kia rio off the rode almost killing me like before

[@boyjalvarez907]

It is going to waste my gas or not?

[@dopeitsmike98]

Yes I use mine on and off and it's a quick trip to the gas station afterwards

[@Azersgaming]

Its backwards, you should pull back to shift up and pish forward to shift down. It mimics your body movements in the car, this way is garbage

[@rats2895]

What!!!!

[@Azersgaming]

Mike Luczycki thats how its set up in my Toyota. Think about it, when you accelerate you ate pushed back in your seat anf when you brake you get pushed forward, this set up od completely opposite of natural body movements
