Driving your vehicle
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the follow-
ing precautions:
NEVER allow children or any per-
son who is unfamiliar with the
vehicle to touch the ignition
switch or related parts.
Unexpected and sudden vehicle
movement can occur.
NEVER reach through the steer-
ing wheel for the ignition switch,
or any other control, while the
vehicle is in motion. The pres-
ence of your hand or arm in this
area may cause a loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
WARNING NEVER turn the ignition switch to
the LOCK or ACC position while the
vehicle is in motion except in an
emergency. This will result in the
engine turning off and loss of
power assist for the steering and
brake systems. This may lead to
loss of directional control and brak-
ing function, which could cause an
accident.
Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the shift lever is
in 1st gear (for manual transmis-
sion vehicle) or P (Park, for auto-
matic transmission/dual clutch
transmission vehicle) position,
apply the parking brake, and turn
ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion.
Unexpected vehicle movement may
occur if these precautions are not
followed.

to normal operating temperature. Avoid
harsh or abrupt acceleration or deceler-
ation while the engine is still cold.
• Whether the engine is cold or warm, always start the vehicle with your foot
on the brake pedal. Do not depress the
accelerator while starting the vehicle.
Do not race the engine while warming it
up. To prevent damage to the vehicle:
Do not hold the ignition key in the

Engine Start/Stop Button
Whenever the front door is opened, the
Engine Start/Stop button will illuminate
and will go off 30 seconds after the door
is closed.
NEVER press the Engine Start/
Stop button while the vehicle is in
motion except in an emergency.
This will result in the engine turn-
ing off and loss of power assist

open, the system checks for the smart
key. If the smart key is not in the vehicle,
the " " indicator will blink and the
warning "Key not in vehicle" will come
on and if all doors are closed, the chime
will also sound for about 5 seconds.

Information
• Do not wait for the engine to warm upwhile the vehicle remains stationary.
Start driving at moderate engine speeds.
(Aggressive accelerating and decelerat-
ing should be avoided.)
• Always start the vehicle with your foot on the brake pedal. Do not depress the
accelerator while starting the vehicle.
Do not race the engine while warming it
up.
To prevent damage to the vehicle:
If the engine stalls while you are in motion, do not attempt to move the
shift lever to the P (Park) position.
If traffic and road conditions permit,
you may put the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position while the vehicle
is still moving and press the Engine
Start/Stop button in an attempt to
restart the engine.
Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the engine. To prevent damage to the vehicle:
When the stop lamp switch fuse is
blown, you can't start the engine nor-
mally. Replace the fuse with a new
one. If you are not able to replace the
fuse, you can start the engine by

Driving your vehicle
Downshifting
Down shift to a lower gear when slowing
down in heavy traffic or driving up a
steep hill to prevent high engine loads.
Also, downshifting reduces the chance of
stalling and helps reaccelerate the vehi-
cle when you need to increase your
speed.
When the vehicle is going downhill,
downshifting helps maintain safe speed
by providing engine braking (brake power
from the engine) and results in less wear
on the brakes.To prevent damage to the engine,
clutch and transmission:
When downshifting from 5
thgear to
4thgear, be careful not to inadver-
tently push the shift lever sideways
engaging the 2
ndgear. A drastic
downshift may cause the engine
speed to increase to the point the
tachometer will enter the red-zone
and may cause engine damage.
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 down shifting may damage the
engine, clutch and the transmission.
NOTICE
5
To prevent unnecessary wear or
damage to the clutch:
Do not rest your foot on the
clutch pedal while driving.
Do not hold the vehicle with the
clutch on an incline, while waiting
for the traffic light, etc.
Always depress the clutch pedal
down fully to prevent noise or
damage.
Do not depress the clutch pedal
again until it is fully released.
Do not start with the 2nd(second)
gear engaged except when you
start on a slippery road.
Do not drive with cargo loaded
more than required loading
capacity.
CAUTION

5-18
Good Driving Practices
Never take the vehicle out of gear andcoast down a hill. This is extremely
dangerous.
Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause the brakes and related parts to over-
heat 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.
Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
Slow down when you encounter cross winds. This gives you much better con-
trol of your vehicle.
Be sure the vehicle is completely stopped before you shift into R
(Reverse) to prevent damage to the
transmission.
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
Driving your vehicle
Do not use aggressive engine brak-
ing (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.
WARNING (Continued)
Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off the
roadway and the driver over
steers to reenter the roadway.
In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
HYUNDAI recommends you fol-
low all posted speed limits.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
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.
Avoid high speeds when corner-
ing or turning.
Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as sharp
lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
(Continued)
WARNING

D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position. The
transmission will automatically shift
through a six-gear sequence, providing
the best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or driving uphill depress the
accelerator pedal further until you feel
the transmission downshift to a lower
gear.
The DRIVE MODE switch, located on the
shift lever console, allows the driver to
switch from NORMAL mode to ECO or
SPORT mode.
For more information, refer to "Drive
Mode Integrated Control System"
later in this chapter.Manual shift mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, manual shift mode is selected by
pushing the shift lever from the D (Drive)
position into the manual gate. To return to
D (Drive) range operation, push the shift
lever back into the main gate.
In manual shift mode, moving the shift
lever backwards and forwards will allow
you to select the desired range of gears
for the current driving conditions.
+ (Up) : Push the lever forward once toshift up one gear.
- (Down) : Pull the lever backwards once to shift down one gear.
Information
• Only the six forward gears can be select-ed. To reverse or park the vehicle, move
the shift lever to the R (Reverse) or P
(Park) position as required.
• Downshifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. When the
vehicle stops, 1
stgear is automatically
selected.
• When the engine rpm approaches the red zone the transmission will upshift
automatically.
• If the driver presses the lever to + (Up) or - (Down) position, the trans-
mission may not make the requested
gear change if the next gear is outside of
the allowable engine rpm range. The
driver must execute upshifts in accor-
dance with road conditions, taking care
to keep the engine rpms below the red
zone.
• When accelerating from a stop on a slip- pery road, push the shift lever forward
into the + (Up) position. This allows the
transmission to shift into the 2nd gear
which is better for smooth driving on a
slippery road. Push the shift lever to the
- (Down) side to shift back to the 1st
gear.
(Continued)
i
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 could lose control of the vehi-
cle and hit people or objects.
