Kia K900: Shift lock system
For your safety, the automatic transmission has a shift lock system which prevents shifting the transmission from P (Park) into R (Reverse) unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P (Park) into R (Reverse) or D (Drive) :
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or turn the Engine Start / Stop Button to the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever to R (Reverse) or D (Drive) with pressing [UNLOCK] button.
If the brake pedal is repeatedly depressed and released with the shift lever in the P (Park) position, a chattering noise near the shift lever may be heard. This is a normal condition.
WARNING
Shifting from park
Always fully depress the brake pedal before and while shifting out of the P (Park) position into another position to help avoid inadvertent motion of the vehicle.
