I'd check the fuse list first, and any connectors you can get to.

Try disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes first.It might be a software glitch and it might reset it.

If that doesn't work then i would be looking at fuses and trawling the Kia forums to see if its a common fault.

Good luck!

Any warning lights? Have you tried reading error codes?

When the same happened to my wife's car (a FIAT), I knew right away it was the speed sensor. Cheap and easy to replace.

All those functions are controlled by the gearbox speed sensor.Could be this at fault or a wiring issue,or the speedo unit itself.
