We present results of an asteroseismic study on the $gamma$ Dor type {it Kepler} target KIC,6462033. {it Kepler} photometry is used to derive the frequency content and principal modes. High-dispersion ground-based spectroscopy is also carried out in order to determine the atmospheric parameters and projected rotational velocity. From an analysis of the {it Kepler} long cadence time series, we find that the light curve of KIC,6462033 is dominated by three modes with frequencies $f_{1}$=0.92527, $f_{2}$=2.03656 and $f_{3}$=1.42972 d$^{-1}$ as well as we detect more than a few hundreds of combination terms. However, two other independent frequencies appear to have lower amplitudes in addition to these three dominant terms. No significant peaks are detected in the region $>$ 5 d$^{-1}$. We therefore confirm that KIC,6462033 pulsates in the frequency range of $gamma$ Dor type variables, and a future study will allow us to investigate modal behaviour in this star.
