Using the Clutch of Manual transaxle
The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. Theclutch pedal should be always used after fullyreturning to the original position. Do not restyour foot on the clutch pedal while driving. Thiscan cause unnecessary wear. Do not partiallyengage the clutch to hold the car on an incline.This causes unnecessary wear. Use the park-ing brake to hold the car on an incline. Do notoperate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly. o Slow down when you encounter cross winds.
This gives you much better control of yourcar.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped be- fore you attempt to shift into reverse. Thetransaxle can be damaged if you do not. To
shift into reverse, depress the clutch (manualtransaxle), move the shift lever to neutral,
wait three seconds, then shift to the reverseposition.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On aslippery surface, an abrupt change in ve-hicle speed can cause the drive wheels tolose traction and the vehicle to go out ofcontrol.

o Never take the car out of gear and coast
down a hill. This is extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction. Instead,when you are driving down a long hill, slowdown and shift to a lower gear. When you dothis, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-revving the engine,which can cause damage.

Emergency Towing For emergency towing when no commercialtow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable,chain or strap to the two hooks under the frontof your car. Do not attempt to tow your vehiclein this manner on any unpaved surface. Thiscould result in serious damage to your car. Nor should it be attempted if the wheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged.Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neu-tral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engine off)or in the "ON" position (with the engine run-ning). A driver must be in the towed car to steerit and operate the brakes.

SNOW TIRES
If you equip your car with snow tires, they
should be the same size and have the sameload capacity as the original tires. Snow tiresshould be installed on all four wheels; other-wise, poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air
pressure than the pressure recommended forthe standard tires on the tire label on the driverside center pillar outer panel, or up to themaximum pressure shown on the tire sidewallwhichever is less.
Do not drive faster than the speed limit when
your car is equipped with snow tires. I050A01X-GAT

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
(Not all models)
C090B01X-DAG
Condition
15 (20) 25 (40) 35 (55)45 (75)The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle
has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. It has a conventional shift pattern as shown inthe illustration. At night, with the first position ofthe multi-function switch, the appropriate sym-bol on the shift pattern indicator will be illuminat-ed according to the range selected.
CAUTION: Never shift into "R" or "P" position while
the vehicle is moving.
NOTE: Depress the brake pedal and push the
button when shifting.
Push the button when shifting. The selector lever can be shifted free-
ly.
For optimum fuel economy, accelerate gradual-
ly. The transaxle will automatically shift to the second, third and overdrive gears.
CAUTION: The selector must NEVER be shifted to the
"P" position whilst the vehicle is in motion, otherwise serious transaxle damage will re-sult.
NOTE:
o The ignition key can be removed with the selector in only this position. (Not allmodels)
o The brake pedal fully depressed in order to move the shift lever from the "P"(Park) position to any of the other posi-tions. (Not all models)
ZC110B1-E
SELECTOR POSITIONS o P (Park):
With the selector in this position, no drive is
transmitted from the engine and the transaxle output (and therefore the front wheels) arelocked. The engine may be started with theselector in this position. ZC110C1-A
o R (Reverse):
Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to
a complete stop before shifting the selectorlever to "R" position.
C090D02A-AAT
o N (Neutral) In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral,
which means that no gears are engaged. Theengine can be started with the shift lever in "N"position, although this is not recommendedexcept if the engine stalls while the car ismoving. CAUTION:
Do not coast with the selector at the "N"
position
