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 anoth-
er 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
to shift up one gear.
- (Down) : Pull the lever backwards once to shift down one
gear.
Information
 Only the six forward gears can be selected in Manual Shift mode. 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 st
gear is automat-
ically selected.
 When the engine rpm approaches the red zone the transmission will
upshift automatically.

i
Do not shift into gear unless
your foot is firmly on the brake
pedal. Shifting into gear whenthe engine is running at high
speed can cause the vehicle to
move very rapidly. You could
lose control of the vehicle andhit people or objects.

 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
transmission 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 accordance with
road conditions, taking care to keep
the engine rpms below the red zone.Paddle shifter (if equipped)
The paddle shifter is functional when
the shift lever is in the D (Drive) posi-
tion or the manual shift mode.
With the shift lever in the D posi-
tion
The paddle shifter will operate when
the vehicle speed is more than 10 km/h (6 mph). Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once
to shift up or down one gear and thesystem changes from automatic
mode to manual mode.
When the vehicle speed is lower
than 10 km/h (6 mph), if you depress
the accelerator pedal for more than 5
seconds or if you move the shift lever
from Manual Shift mode to D (Drive),
the system changes from manual
mode to automatic mode.
With the shift lever in the manual
shift mode
Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once
to shift up or down one gear.

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 inmotion.
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
transmission could be damaged.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light, butconsistent 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 driving in Manual Shift
mode, slow down before shifting to
a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower
gear may not be engaged if the
engine rpms are outside of the
allowable range.
Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis-
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.
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 controlresulting in an accident.
Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothlydepressing and releasing the
accelerator.
When you stay in the vehicle
with the engine running, becareful not to depress the accel-
erator 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 exhaustsystem components.
Do not stop or park over flam-
mable materials, such as dry
grass, paper or leaves. They
may ignite and cause a fire.WARNING

Driving your vehicle
Using ABS
To obtain the maximum benefit from
your ABS in an emergency situation,
do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to
pump your brakes. Depress your
brake pedal as hard as possible.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and it means your ABS is
active. ABS does not reduce the time or dis-
tance it takes to stop the vehicle.
Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you.
ABS will not prevent a skid that results from sudden changes in
direction, such as trying to take a
corner too fast or making a sudden
lane change. Always drive at a safe
speed for the road and weather con-
ditions.ABS cannot prevent a loss of stabili-
ty. Always steer moderately when
braking hard. Severe or sharp steer-
ing wheel movement can still cause
your vehicle to veer into oncoming
traffic or off the road.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may result in a longer stopping
distance than for vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.
The ABS warning light ( ) will stay
on for several seconds after the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position.
During that time, the ABS will gothrough self-diagnosis and the light
will go off if everything is normal. If
the light stays on, you may have a
problem with your ABS. Contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible
If the ABS warning light ( ) is
on and stays on, you may have
a problem with the ABS. Your
power brakes will work normal-
ly. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, contact your
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.

The drive mode may be selected
according to the driver's preferenceor road condition. The system resets to be in the NOR-
MAL mode (except if it is in ECO
mode), when the engine is restarted.Information
If there is a problem with the instru-
ment cluster, the drive mode will be in
NORMAL mode and may not change
to ECO mode or SPORT mode. The mode changes, as below,
whenever the DRIVE MODE buttonis pressed.
NORMAL mode
In NORMAL mode the engine and
transmission control logic work
together to provide regular daily driv-
ing performance with some fuel effi-
ciency.
When NORMAL mode is selected,
it is not displayed on the instrument
cluster.
ECO mode
When the Drive Mode isset to ECO mode, the
engine and transmissioncontrol logic are changed
to maximize fuel efficiency.
When the ECO mode is selected by pressing the DRIVE MODE but-ton, the ECO indicator will illumi-
nate.
If the vehicle is set to ECO mode, when the engine is turned OFF
and restarted the Drive Mode set-
ting will remain in ECO mode.

When the ECO mode is activated:
The acceleration response may beslightly reduced if the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
The air conditioner performance may be limited.
The shift pattern of the automatic transmission/dual clutch transmis-
sion may change.
The engine speed may be lower than when driving in NORMAL
mode.
The above situations are normalconditions when the ECO mode is
activated to improve fuel efficiency. Limitation of the ECO mode oper-ation:
Even though ECO mode is selected and there is no change in the ECOindicator :
When the coolant temperature is
low, ECO mode will be limited until
engine temperature is at normal
operating temperature.
When driving up a hill, ECO mode will be limited to provide better
power when driving uphill.
When driving the vehicle with the automatic transmission/ dual
clutch transmission gear shift lever
in manual shift mode, ECO modewill be limited according to the shiftposition.SPORT mode
SPORT mode manages
the driving dynamics byautomatically adjusting the
steering effort, and the
engine and transmission control
logic for enhanced driving perform-
ance.
When SPORT mode is selected by pressing the DRIVE MODE button,
the SPORT indicator will illuminate.
Whenever the engine is restarted, the Drive Mode will revert back to
NORMAL mode. If SPORT mode is
desired, re-select SPORT mode
from the DRIVE MODE button.
When SPORT mode is activated:
- The engine rpm will tend toremain raised over a certain
length of time even after releas-
ing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accel- erating
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.
