I am very please to know from threads on this forum that you are a KIA officer. I come from Viet nam and I have just owned my Carens since last week. The mine is using gas engine with AT transmission.
This is the first time I operate with AT transmission, I would like to get advice about using AT transmission of Carens, the step by step procedure to operate this stuff properly is situations : Start, depart, stop for traffic lights ....
I think you are in for a long wait for "Schnauzer", this guy hasn't been active on this site for a year, which is too bad, as it would have been good to have his constant input.
Welcome to the forum, I don't think we've had anyone on here from Vietnam. You didn't say if this is a new vehicle or used. If its new the info should be in your owners manual, or you can download it from a Kia website. In North America the Rondo (Carens) only comes in an automatic transmission.

Thank you for your reply.
I have just bought a new carens from the dealer in Viet Nam, I have already read the user manual, but it didn't mention in details for stuffs I've requested.
Could you give me the link to download any documents from KIA website.
You need to register first then find your way round the site which is designed for those with a technical nature, be patient & I'm sure you will find what you need.
The only piece of advice I can give you regarding a/t is to make sure you have put the handbrake on & let the car 'settle' natutrally before putting it in P when you have stopped, this makes sure the gearbox is not stressed as you roll that little bit if you are on a slope.
I drive an a/t in D all the time & always put in N when at a set of traffic lights or going to be stopped with the parking brake on & engine running, just my way of doing things & not necessarily right nor wrong.
Mark.
