śꢀ Optimum vehicle performance and

Good driving practices

śꢀ Never shift the gear from P (Park) or

N (Neutral) to any other position with

the accelerator pedal depressed.

economy is obtained by smoothly

depressing and releasing the

accelerator.

śꢀ Never shift the gear into P (Park) when

WARNING

the vehicle is in motion.

Be sure the vehicle is completely

stopped before you attempt to shift

into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY

or DEATH:

śꢀ ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a

collision, an unrestrained occupant

is significantly more likely to be

seriously injured or killed than a

properly restrained occupant.

śꢀ Do not shift the gear to N (Neutral)

when driving. If the gear is shifted to

N (Neutral) whilst driving. Doing so

may increase the risk of an accident.

Also, shift the gear back to D (Drive)

whilst the vehicle is moving may

severely damage the reduction gear.

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 When driving uphill or downhill,

always shift to D (Drive) for driving

forward or shift to R (Reverse) for

driving rearwards. After selecting

D (Drive) or R (Reverse), check the

gear position indicated on the cluster

before driving. If the vehicle moves in

the opposite direction of the selected

gear, the vehicle may turn off and a

serious accident might occur due to

degraded brake performance.

śꢀ Do not drive with your foot resting

on the brake pedal. Even light, but

consistent pedal pressure can result

in the brakes overheating, brake wear

and possibly even brake failure.

śꢀ HYUNDAI Vehicle recommends you

to follow all posted speed limits.

śꢀ Always apply the parking brake when

leaving the vehicle. Do not depend

on placing the shift gear in P (Park) to

keep the vehicle from moving.

śꢀ 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.
