2019 owners manual PDF?

[eflyguy]

Kia owners in the USA (and elsewhere I presume) can register their vehicle on the Kia Owners site, and access the PDF manuals through KiaTechInfo without having an account there. It's been that way for years, I have the 2018 manual (even though I didn't have a Stinger) because I have the Kia Owners site account.

Just recently, however, the link is no longer available - even for my other Kia vehicles, I can not access the PDF versions of the manual. I know it happened recently, because I also participate on a different Kia-oriented forum, and often download manuals for other vehicles to check for information.

Does anyone have a working link, or perhaps has downloaded the 2019 USA owners manual?

Awesome! Thank you for this

Ditto.. I wanted to read about the coasting feature primarily, because I'm finding engine braking while manually selecting gears to be lacking, and can't seem to see any effect between having coast on or off...

Can you guys turn off fake cabin engine noise in custom mode?

Coast mode only works if the menu option is enabled and you are in ECO drive mode (or SMART-ECO). There is a "coast" indicator in the instrument cluster screen - it replaces the fuel range readout while active. I've tried it and it works.

The active engine noise setting seems to be independent of drive mode. You can change its setting from off to enhanced. I presume this affects all drive modes but I haven't tested it yet.

TY.. I was in sport, so it shouldn't have been engaged, and thus my search for knowledge continues.. lol!

The setting is only available when configuring custom mode and doesn't affect other drive modes

Update:
Either this was true on the 2018 I had and changed for the 2019s or I was just wrong. I went back through my settings to double check and it's a global setting.
