Manual transmission operation

The manual transmission has 5 (or 6)

forward gears. The transmission is fully

synchronized in all forward gears so

shifting to either a higher or a lower gear

is easily accomplished

Driving your vehicle

Using the clutch (if equipped)

The clutch pedal should be depressed all

the way to the floor before:

- Starting the engine

The engine will not start without

depressing the clutch pedal.

Downshifting

Downshift when you must slow down in

heavy traffic or drive up a steep hill to

prevent engine load.

Also, downshifting reduces the chance

of stalling and can accelerate when you

need to increase your speed again.

When the vehicle is going downhill,

downshifting helps maintain safe speed

by providing brake power from the

engine and enables less wear on the

brakes.

- Shifting

To start your vehicle, slowly release

the clutch pedal and depress the

accelerator.

When releasing the clutch pedal, release

it slowly. The clutch pedal should always

be released whilst driving.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the engine,

clutch and transmission:

NOTICE

To prevent unnecessary wear or

damage to the clutch:

śꢀ Do not rest your foot on the clutch

pedal whilst driving.

śꢀ Do not hold the vehicle with the

clutch on an incline, whilst waiting

for the traffic light, etc.

śꢀ Always depress the clutch pedal

down fully to prevent noise or

damage.

śꢀ Do not start with the 2nd (second)

gear engaged except when you start

on a slippery road.

śꢀ When downshifting the 5th gear

to the 4th gear, be careful not to

inadvertently push the shift lever

sideways engaging the 2nd gear.

A drastic downshift may cause the

engine speed to increase to the point

the tachometer will enter the red-

zone.

śꢀ Do not downshift more than two

gear at a time or downshift the gear

when the engine is running at high

speed (5,000 RPM or higher). Such

a downshifting may damage the

engine, clutch and the transmission.

śꢀ Depress the clutch pedal all the way

and be careful not to depress the

pedal again before returning to the

upright position after you release

the pedal. If you depress the pedal

before returning to the original

position repeatedly, it may cause the

clutch system failure.

cause the brakes and related parts to

overheat and malfunction.

When you are driving down a long hill,

slow down and shift to a lower gear.

Engine braking will help slow down

the vehicle.

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.

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY

or DEATH:

śꢀ 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.

śꢀ Avoid high speeds when cornering or

turning.

śꢀ Do not make quick steering wheel

movements, such as sharp lane

changes or fast, sharp turns.

śꢀ The risk of rollover is greatly

increased if you lose control of your

vehicle at highway speeds.

śꢀ Loss of control often occurs if two or

more wheels drop off the roadway

and the driver over steers to reenter

the roadway.

śꢀ In the event your vehicle leaves

the roadway, do not steer sharply.

Instead, slow down before pulling

back into the travel lanes.

śꢀ HYUNDAI recommends you follow all

posted speed limits.
