Driving your vehicle

The indicator in the instrument cluster

displays the shift lever position when the

ignition switch is in the ON position.

R (Reverse)

Use this position to drive the vehicle

backward.

Automatic transaxle operation

The automatic transaxle has four forward

speeds and one reverse speed. The indi-

vidual speeds are selected automatically,

in the D (Drive) position.

P (Park)

CAUTION

Always come to a complete stop

before shifting into or out of R

(Reverse); you may damage the

transaxle if you shift into

(Reverse) while the vehicle is in

motion.

Always come to a complete stop before

shifting into P (Park).

To shift from P (Park), you must depress

firmly on the brake pedal and make sure

your foot is off the accelerator pedal.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury

or death:

R

• ALWAYS check the surrounding

areas near your vehicle for peo-

ple, especially children, before

shifting a vehicle into D (Drive) or

R (Reverse).

• Before leaving the driver’s seat,

always make sure the shift lever

is in the P (Park) position, then

set the parking brake, and place

the ignition switch in the

LOCK/OFF position. Unexpected

and sudden vehicle movement

can occur if these precautions

are not followed.

The shift lever must be in P (Park) before

turning the engine off.

WARNING

• Shifting into P (Park) while the

vehicle is in motion may cause

you to lose control of the vehicle.

• After the vehicle has stopped,

always make sure the shift lever

is in P (Park), apply the parking

brake, and turn the engine off.

• Do not use the P (Park) position

in place of the parking brake.

5 15

Driving your vehicle

■ Left-hand drive

N (Neutral)

D (Drive)

The wheels and transaxle are not

engaged.

Use N (Neutral) if you need to restart a

stalled engine, or if it is necessary to stop

with the engine ON. Shift into P (Park) if

you need to leave your vehicle for any

reason.

Always depress the brake pedal when

you are shifting from N (Neutral) to

another gear.

This is the normal driving position. The

transaxle will automatically shift through

a 4-gear sequence, providing the best

fuel economy and power.

For extra power when passing another

vehicle or driving uphill, depress the

accelerator fully. The transaxle will auto-

matically downshift to the next lower gear

(or gears, as appropriate).

OBA053005

■ Right-hand drive

WARNING

NEVER allow anyone to ride in a

seat with the headrest removed.

WARNING

Do not shift into gear unless your

foot is firmly on the brake pedal.

Shifting into gear when the engine

is running at high speed can cause

the vehicle to move very rapidly.

You could lose control and hit peo-

ple or objects.

OIA053004R

Sports mode

Whether the vehicle is stationary or in

motion, sports mode is selected by push-

ing the shift lever from the D (Drive) posi-

tion into the manual gate. To return to D

(Drive) range operation, push the shift

lever back into the main gate.

5 16

Driving your vehicle

In Sports Mode, moving the shift lever

backwards and forwards will allow you to

select the desired range of gears for the

current driving conditions.

+ (Up) : Push the lever forward once to

shift up one gear.

Shift -lock system

✽

NOTICE

For your safety, the automatic transaxle

has a shift-lock system which prevents

shifting the transaxle from P (Park) into R

(Reverse) unless the brake pedal is

depressed.

To shift the transaxle from P (Park) into R

(Reverse):

1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.

2. Press the shift button.

3. Move the shift lever.

• Only the four forward gears can be

selected. To reverse or park the vehi-

cle, move the shift lever to the R

(Reverse) or P (Park) position as

required.

- (Down) : Pull the lever backwards once

to shift down one gear.

• Downshifts are made automatically

when the vehicle slows down. When

the vehicle stops, 1st gear is automati-

cally selected.

• When the engine rpm approaches the

red zone the transaxle will upshift

automatically.

• If the driver presses the lever to + (Up)

or - (Down) position, the transaxle

may not make the requested gear

change if the next gear is outside of

the allowable engine rpm range. The

driver must execute upshifts in accor-

dance with road conditions, taking

care to keep the engine rpms below

the red zone.

• When driving on a slippery road,

push the shift lever forward into the +

(Up) position. This causes the

transaxle 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.

5 17

Driving your vehicle

• Exercise extreme caution when driving

on a slippery surface. Be especially

careful when braking, accelerating or

shifting gears. On a slippery surface,

an abrupt change in vehicle speed can

cause the drive wheels to lose traction

and may cause loss of vehicle control

resulting in an accident

• Optimum vehicle performance and

economy is obtained by smoothly

depressing and releasing the accelera-

tor.

Parking

Good driving practices

Always come to a complete stop and

continue to depress the brake pedal.

Move the shift lever into the P (Park)

position, apply the parking brake, and

place the ignition switch in the

LOCK/OFF position. Take the Key with

you when exiting the vehicle.

• Never move the shift lever from P

(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other posi-

tion with the accelerator pedal

depressed.

• Never move the shift lever into P (Park)

when the vehicle is in motion.

• Be sure the vehicle is completely

stopped before you attempt to shift into

R (Reverse) or D (Drive).

• Do not move the shift lever to N

(Neutral) when driving. Doing so may

result in an accident because of a loss

of engine braking and the transaxle

could be damaged.

• Do not drive with your foot resting on

the brake pedal. Even light, but consis-

tent pedal pressure can result in the

brakes overheating, brake wear and

possibly even brake failure.

• When driving in sports mode, slow

down before shifting to a lower gear.

Otherwise, the lower gear may not be

engaged if the engine rpms are out-

side of the allowable range.

WARNING

When you stay in the vehicle with

the engine running, be careful not

to depress the accelerator pedal for

a long period of time.The engine or

exhaust system may overheat and

start a fire.

The exhaust gas and the exhaust

system are very hot. Keep away

from the exhaust system compo-

nents.

Do not stop or park over flammable

materials, such as dry grass, paper

or leaves. They may ignite and

cause a fire.

• Always apply the parking brake when

leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on

placing the transmission in P (Park) to

keep the vehicle from moving.

Driving your vehicle

WARNING

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS

INJURY or DEATH:

• ALWAYS wear your seatbelt. In a

collision, an unbelted occupant is

significantly more likely to be

seriously injured or killed than a

properly belted occupant.

• Avoid high speeds when corner-

ing or turning.

• Do not make quick steering

wheel movements, such as sharp

lane changes or fast, sharp turns.

• The risk of rollover is greatly

increased if you lose control of

your vehicle at highway speeds.

• Loss of control often occurs if

two or more wheels drop off the

roadway and the driver over

steers to reenter the roadway.

• In the event your vehicle leaves

the roadway, do not steer sharply.

Instead, slow down before pulling

back into the travel lanes.

• HYUNDAI recommends you fol-

low all posted speed limits.
