WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death:
• ALWAYS check the surrounding
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, 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.
• When using Manual Shift Mode, do
not use engine braking (shifting from
a high gear to lower gear) rapidly on
slippery roads. The vehicle may slip
causing an accident.
• To avoid damage to your transaxle,
do not try to accelerate in R (Reverse)
or any forward gear position with the
brakes on.
• When stopped on slope, do not hold
the vehicle with accelerator pedal.
Use the service brake or the parking
brake. •
The dual clutch transmission can be
thought of as an automatically shifting
manual transmission. It gives the
driving feel of a manual transmission,
yet provides the ease of a fully
automatic transmission.
• When D (Drive) is selected, the
transmission will automatically
shift through the gears similar to a
conventional automatic transmission.
Unlike a traditional automatic
transmission, the gear shifting can
sometimes be felt and heard as the
actuators engage the clutches and the
gears are selected.
• The dual clutch transmission adopts
a dry-type dual clutch, which is
different from the torque converter of
the automatic transmission. It shows
better acceleration performance
and increased fuel efficiency while
driving but initial launch might be
little bit slower than the automatic
transmission.
As a result, gear shifts are sometimes
more noticeable than a conventional
automatic transmission and a light
vibration during launching can be felt
as the transmission speed. This is a
normal condition of the dual clutch
transmission.
• The dry-type clutch transfers torque
more directly and provides a direct
drive feeling which may feel different
from a conventional automatic
transmission. This may be more
noticeable when launching the vehicle
from a stop or when traveling at low,
stop-and-go vehicle speeds.
• When rapidly accelerating at a low
vehicle speed, the engine rpm may
increase highly depending on the
vehicle’s driving condition.
• For smooth launch uphill, press
down the accelerator pedal smoothly
depending on the current conditions.

6-14
• If you release your foot from the
accelerator pedal at low vehicle
speed, you may feel strong engine
braking, 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.
• During the first 1000 miles (1,500 km),
you may feel that the vehicle may not
be smooth when accelerating at low
speed. During this break-in period, the
shift quality and performance of your
new vehicle is continuously optimized.
WARNING
Due to transmission failure, you may
not continue to drive and the position
indicator (D, R) on the cluster will blink.
We recommend you to contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have
the system checked.
LCD display for transmission
temperature and warning
message
DCT warning messages
OTLE055019
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
disengaged, the clutch and
transmission 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.

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
excessively. Finally the clutch in
transmission 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 driving
condition may become worse.
You may experience abrupt shifts,
frequent shifts, or jerkiness. To return
to the normal driving condition, 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 driven
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.
• The warning will display a time to wait
for the transmission to cool.
• 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.
• When the message "Transmission
cooled down. Resume driving"
appears you can continue to drive
your vehicle.
• When possible, drive the vehicle
smoothly.
If any of the warning messages in the
LCD display continue to blink, for your
safety, we recommend you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have the
system checked.Transmission ranges
The indicator in the instrument cluster
displays the shift lever position when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
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 "Shift-Lock Release" in this
chapter.
The shift lever must be in P (Park) before
turning the engine off.
WARNING
• 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.
• Do not use the P (Park) position in
place of the parking brake.

R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into or out of R (Reverse); you
may damage the transaxle if you shift
into R (Reverse) while the vehicle is in
motion.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transaxle 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.
Always depress the brake pedal when
you are shifting from N (Neutral) to
another gear.
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position. The
transmission will automatically shift
through a 6-gear sequence, providing
the best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or driving uphill, depress the
accelerator fully. The transmission will
automatically downshift to the next
lower gear (or gears, as appropriate).
The DRIVE MODE switch, located on the
shift lever console, allows the driver to
switch from NORMAL mode to SPORT
mode (if equipped)
For more information, refer to "Drive
Mode Integrated Control System" later
in this chapter.
WARNING
• 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.
NOTICE
Always make sure the vehicle is
stationary, at a complete stop, before
selecting D (Drive).

Information
• Only the six forward gears can be
selected. 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, 1st gear 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 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.
Shift-lock system
For your safety, the dual clutch
transmission has a shift-lock system
which prevents shifting the transmission
from P (Park) into R (Reverse) unless the
brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P (Park)
into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or place the ignition
switch in the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
