The sportmatic shifter allows you to manually shift gears in the Kia Sportage, giving you more control over your driving experience. It's great for situations like driving on hilly terrain or when you want a more responsive driving experience.

The sportmatic shifter works similarly to shifting gears in a manual transmission car, but without the use of a clutch. You can shift up or down as needed, making it easier to maintain speeds and accelerate when necessary.

Just remember, when using the sportmatic shifter, always make sure to shift back to 'D' (Drive) when you're done. It's a common mistake to leave it in manual mode, which can lead to engine damage over time.
