al seconds before sufficient lubri
cation is ensured in the turbo
charger unit.
2. After high speed or extended driv ing that requires heavy engine
load, idle the engine about one
minute before turning the engine

Automatic transaxle operation
The automatic transaxle has six for
ward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected
automatically in the D (Drive) position.The indicator in the instrument clus
ter displays the shift lever position
when the ignition switch is in the ONposition.
P (Park)
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.
If you have done all of the above and
still cannot shift the lever out of P
(Park), see “ShiftLock Release” on
page 527.
The shift lever must be in P (Park)
before turning the engine off.
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death:
•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.
•Do not use engine braking (shift
ing from a high gear to lower
gear) rapidly on slippery roads.
The vehicle may slip causing an
accident.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
1. Press the shiftlock release button.
2. Press and hold the lock release button on the shift lever.
3. Move the shift lever.
4. Have your vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer immediately
Parking
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.
Good driving practices
• Never move the shift lever from P(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedaldepressed.
• 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
consistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure.
• Depressing both accelerator and brake pedals at the same time can
trigger logic for engine power
reduction to assure vehicle decel
eration. Vehicle acceleration will
resume after the brake pedal isreleased.
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 flamma
ble materials, such as dry grass,
paper or leaves. They may ignite
and cause a fire.

blinks:
• When you apply yourbrakes under conditions
which may lock the
wheels, you may hear
sounds from the brakes, or
feel a corresponding sen
sation in the brake pedal.
