Manual shift mode
Information
i
• Only five forward gears can be
selected. To reverse or park the vehi-
cle, move the shift lever to the R
(Reverse) or N (Neutral) position as
required.
• Downshifts are made automatically
when the vehicle slows down. When
the vehicle stops, 1st gear is automat-
ically selected.
• When the engine rpm approaches
the red zone the transmission will
upshift automatically.
• If the driver presses the lever to +
(Up) or - (Down) position, the trans-
mission may not make the requested
gear change if the next gear is out-
side of the allowable engine rpm
range. The driver must execute
upshifts in accordance with road
conditions, taking care to keep the
engine rpms below the red zone.

Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, Manual shift mode is selected
by pushing the shift lever from the D
(Drive) position into the manual gate
(M). To return to D (Drive) range opera-
tion, push the shift lever back into the
main gate.
In Manual shift mode, moving the shift
lever backwards and forwards will allow
you to select the desired range of gears
for the current driving conditions.
• When accelerating from a stop on a
slippery road, push the shift lever
forward into the + (Up) position.
This allows the transmission to shift
into the 2nd gear which is better for
smooth driving on a slippery road.
Push the shift lever to the - (Down)
side to shift back to the 1st gear.
+ (Up) : Push the lever forward once to
shift up one gear.
- (Down) : Pull the lever backwards
once to shift down one gear.
NOTICE
If you cannot move the shift lever
into any position or if the gear is
automatically moved to N (Neutral)
position when the vehicle speed
becomes below 6 mph (10 km/h),
this may indicate malfunction of the
system. In this case, we recommend
the system be checked by a HYUN-
DAI authorised repairer.
