Rev Matching operation
Engine speed is automatically syn-
chronized with the next selected
gear. The accelerator pedal does not
have to be depressed to speed up
the engine rpm.
• Clutch depressed with the gear
engaged
At once, engine speed automatically
decreases right after the clutch is
disengaged, but the selected gear is
fixed and then the engine rpm
reverts to the selected gear's target
speed. This operation method gives
more comfortable feeling in public
road driving.
• Upshifting
Engine speed will automatically
decrease and stay at the target
engine speed before the clutch is
engaged.
• Downshifting
Engine speed will automatically
increase and stay at the target
engine speed.
N button
Use Rev Matching when driving on race tracks, etc. in N mode.
• When N mode (SPORT+) is selected:
- REV Matching is turned on automatically. To turn off Rev Matching,
press the REV button.
- Red REV indicator illuminates.
- Engine speed is automatically adjusted to the shifted gear without the
accelerator pedal depressed.
- Engine rpm response is faster than SPORT mode when downshifting
with heavy braking such as when driving on a race track.
• When CUSTOM mode is selected:
- You may select the drive mode you prefer from the display audio screen
Custom setting page. (OFF/NORMAL/SPORT/SPORT+).
For more details on "Custom Mode" refer to the Audio manual in
chapter 4 or the separately supplied Multimedia manual.

Dual clutch transmission oper-
ation
The dual clutch transmission has
eight forward speeds and one
reverse speed. The individual speeds
are selected automatically when the
shift lever is in the D (Drive) position.
DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (IF EQUIPPED)
OBU059127The shift lever can freely operate. Depress the brake pedal and press the shift button while moving the shift lever.
Press the shift button while moving the shift lever.
❈To move the shift lever from/to P (Parking) or between R (Reverse) and
D (Drive), you must depress the brake pedal for the vehicle to stand still.
Shift lever
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
•ALWAYS check the surround-
ing areas near your vehicle for
people, 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, the set the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur if
these precautions are not fol-
lowed.
WARNING

5-20
Driving your vehicle
• The Dual Clutch Transmission gives
the driving feel of a manual trans-
mission, yet provides the ease of a
fully automatic transmission. Unlike
a traditional automatic transmis-
sion, the gear shifting can be felt
(and heard) on the dual clutch
transmission.
- Think of it as an automatically
shifting manual transmission.
- Shift into Drive range and get fully
automatic shifting, similar to a
conventional automatic transmis-
sion.
• Dual clutch transmission adopts
wet-type dual clutch, which is dif-
ferent from torque converter of
automatic transmission, and
shows better acceleration perform-
ance during driving. But, initial
launch might be little bit slower
than Automatic Transmission.
• The wet-type clutch transfers
torque and provides a direct driving
feeling which may feel different
from a conventional automatic
transmission with a torque convert-
er. This may be more noticeable
when starting from a stop or low
vehicle speed.• When rapidly accelerating at low
vehicle speed, engine could rev at
high rpm depending on vehicle
drive condition.
• For smooth launch uphill, press
down the accelerator pedal
smoothly depending on the current
conditions.
• If you release your foot from the
accelerator pedal at low vehicle
speed, you may feel strong engine
brake, which is similar to manual
transmission.
• When driving downhill, you may
use Sports Mode to downshift to a
lower gear in order to control your
speed without using the brake
pedal excessively.
• When you turn the engine on and
off, you may hear clicking sounds
as the system goes through a self
test. This is a normal sound for the
Dual Clutch Transmission.
• Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive) or R
(Reverse).
• Do not put the shift lever in N
(Neutral) while driving.
•When using Manual Shift Mode,
use caution when shifting from
a higher gear to a lower gear on
slippery roads. This could
cause the tires to slip and may
result in an accident.
•To avoid damage to your
transmission, do not try to
accelerate with the shift lever
in R (Reverse) or any forward
gear position with the brake
engaged.
•When stopped on a slope, do
not hold the vehicle with accel-
erator pedal. Engage the serv-
ice brake or the parking brake.

DCT warning messages
Steep grade
This warning message is displayed
when vehicle is driven slowly on a
grade and the vehicle detects that
the brake pedal is not applied.
Steep grade
Driving up hills or on steep grades:
• To hold the vehicle on an incline
use the foot brake or the parking
brake.
• When in stop-and-go traffic on an
incline, keep some distance ahead
before moving the vehicle forward.
Then hold the vehicle on the incline
with the foot brake.• If the vehicle is held on a hill by
applying the accelerator pedal or
by creeping with brake pedal dis-
engaged, the clutch and transmis-
sion may overheat which can result
in damage. At this time, a warning
message will appear on the LCD
display.
• If the LCD warning is active, the
foot brake must be applied.
• Ignoring the warnings can lead to
damage to the transmission.
NOTICE
Due to transmission failure, you
may not continue to drive and
the position indicator (D, P) on
the instrument cluster will blink.
We recommend that you contact
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and have the system checked.
WARNING

5-22
Driving your vehicle
Transmission high temperature
• Under certain conditions, such as
repeated stop-and-go launches on
steep grades, sudden take off or
acceleration, or other harsh driving
conditions, the transmission clutch
temperatures will increase exces-
sively. Finally the clutch in trans-
mission could be overheated.
• When the clutch is overheated, the
safe protection mode engages and
the gear position indicator on the
cluster blinks with a chime. At this
time, “Transmission temperature is
high! Stop safely” warning message
will appear on the LCD display and
driving may not be smooth.• If this occurs, pull over to a safe
location, stop the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the brakes
and shift the vehicle to P (Park),
and allow the transmission to cool.
• If you ignore this warning, the driv-
ing condition may become worse.
You may experience abrupt shifts,
frequent shifts, or jerkiness. To
return to the normal driving condi-
tion, stop the vehicle and apply the
foot brake or shift into P (Park).
Then allow the transmission to cool
for a few minutes with engine on,
before driving off.
• When possible, drive the vehicle
smoothly.
Transmission overheated
• If the vehicle continues to be driv-
en and the clutch temperatures
reach the maximum temperature
limit, the "Transmission hot! Park
with engine On" warning will be
displayed. When this occurs the
clutch is disabled until the clutch
cools to normal temperatures.

before turning the engine off.
•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.
•When parking on an incline,
block the wheels to prevent
the vehicle from rolling down.
•For safety, always engage the
parking brake with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position
except for the case of emer-
gency parking.
•Do not use the P (Park) posi-
tion in place of the parking
brake.

Driving your vehicle
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of R
(Reverse); you may damage the
transmission if you shift into R
(Reverse) while the vehicle is in
motion.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission 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.
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position. The
transmission will automatically shift
through a 8-gear sequence, providing
the best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or driving uphill, depress
the accelerator fully. The transmis-
sion will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear (or gears, as
appropriate).
To stop the vehicle during driving,
Please depress brake pedal fully to
prevent unintended movement.
NOTICE
•Do not shift 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 of the vehi-
cle and hit people or objects.
•Do not drive with the shift
lever in N (Neutral). The
engine brake will not work
and may lead to an accident.
WARNING
Always park the vehicle in P
(Park) for safety and engage the
parking brake.

Manual shift mode manages the driv-
ing dynamics by automatically adjust-
ing the steering effort, and the engine
and transmission control logic for
enhanced driver performance.
NOTICE
•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 may lose control of the
vehicle and cause accidents.
•Do not drive with the shift
lever in N (Neutral). The
engine brake will not work
and may lead to an accident.
