2007 Kia Spectra Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
MANUAL TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
Downshifting
CAUTION
When you must  slow down in heavy
traffic or while  driving up steep  hills,
downshift before the engine starts  to
“labor’’.  Downshifting   reduces   the
chance  of  stalling and  gives  better
acceleration when you again need to
increase your speed. When the vehi-
cle  is   traveling   down  steep   hills,
downshifting   helps   maintain   safe
speed and prolongs brake life.
To avoid  premature clutch wear
and  damage, do  not drive  with
your  foot resting  on the  clutch
pedal. Also, don’t use the clutch
to hold  the  vehicle stopped  on
an upgrade,  while waiting  for a
traffic light, etc.

I love my Kia, the only thing I have had to replace is tires and a battery. Bought it with 33K, now 2 years later with 87K, still running like a top.
