IGNITION SWITCH
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the following
precautions:
• NEVER allow children or any person
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 steering
wheel for the ignition switch, or any
other control, while the vehicle is in
motion. The presence 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 braking function, which
could cause an accident.
• Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always make sure the shift lever is
in 1st gear (for manual transmission
vehicle) or N (Neutral) position (for
Automated Manual Transmission
vehicle), apply the parking brake,
and turn ignition switch to the LOCK
position.
Unexpected vehicle movement may
occur if these precautions are not
followed.

The button (1) must be pressed while The button (1) must be pressed while moving the shift lever. moving the shift lever.
Manual transmission operation
The manual transmission has 5 (or 6)
forward gears. The transmission is fully
synchronized in all forward gears so
shifting to either a higher or a lower gear
is easily accomplished
WARNING
Before leaving the driver’s seat, always
make sure the shift lever is in 1st gear
when the vehicle is parked on a uphill
and in R (Reverse) on a downhill, set the
parking brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF position.
Unexpected vehicle movement may
occur if these precautions are not
followed.
To shift to R (Reverse), make sure the
vehicle has completely stopped, and
then move the shift lever to neutral
before moving into R (Reverse).
When you’ve come to a complete stop
and it’s hard to shift into 1st gear or R
(Reverse):
1. Put the shift lever in neutral and
release the clutch pedal.
2. Depress the clutch pedal, and then
shift into first or R (Reverse) gear.
i Information
During cold weather, shifting may be
difficult until the transmission lubricant
has warmed up.

CAUTION
• When downshifting from fifth gear
to fourth gear, caution should be
taken not to inadvertently press the
shift lever sideways in such a manner
that the second gear is engaged.
Such a drastic downshift may cause
the engine speed to increase to the
point that the tachometer will enter
the red-zone. Such overrevving of
the engine and transmission may
possibly cause engine damage.
• Do not downshift more than 2 gears
or downshift the gear when the
engine is running at high speed
(5,000 RPM or higher). Such a
downshifting may damage the
engine, clutch and the transmission.
• During cold weather, shifting may
be difficult until the transmission
lubricant is warmed up. This is
normal and not harmful to the
transmission.
• If you’ve come to a complete stop
and it’s hard to shift into 1st or
R(Reverse), leave the shift lever at
N(Neutral) position. Then shift into
1st or R(Reverse) gear position.
• Do not use the shift lever as a
handrest during driving, as this can
result in premature wear of the
transmission shift forks.
• To prevent possible damage to the
clutch system, do not start with the
2nd (second) gear engaged except
when you start on a slippery road.
WARNING
• Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always set the parking brake fully
and shut the engine off. Then make
sure the transmission is shifted into
1st gear when the vehicle is parked
on a level or uphill grade, and shifted
into R (Reverse) on a downhill
grade. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur if these
precautions are not followed in the
order identified.
• Do not use the engine brake (shifting
from a high gear to lower gear)
rapidly on slippery roads. The vehicle
may slip causing an accident.
Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy
traffic or while driving up steep hills,
downshift before the engine starts to
labor. Downshifting reduces the chance
of stalling and gives better acceleration
when you again need to increase your
speed. When the vehicle is traveling
down steep hills, downshifting helps
maintain safe speed and prolongs brake
life.

Driving your vehicle
• The dual clutch transmission
incorporates a dry-type dual clutch
mechanism, which allows for better
acceleration performance and
increased fuel efficiency while driving.
But it differs from a conventional
automatic transmission because
it does not incorporate a torque
converter. Instead, the transition from
one gear to the next is managed by
clutch slip, especially at lower speeds.
As a result, shifts are sometimes more
noticeable, and a light vibration can be
felt as the transmission shaft speed is
matched with the engine shaft 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 from a
lower vehicle speed, the engine
rpm may increase dramatically as a
result of clutch slip as the dual clutch
transmission selects the correct gear.
This is a normal condition.
• When accelerating from a stop on an
incline, press the accelerator smoothly
and gradually to avoid any shudder
feeling or jerkiness.
• When traveling at a lower vehicle
speed, if you release the accelerator
pedal quickly, you may feel engine
braking before the transmission
changes gears. This engine braking
feeling is similar to operating a manual
transmission at low speed.
• When driving downhill, you may
wish to move the gear shift lever to
Manual Shift mode and 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 1,500 km (1000 miles),
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
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.
• Do not use aggressive engine braking
(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.

NOTICE
• 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.
WARNING
If the transmission cannot shift into
Drive or Reverse, the position indicator
D or R) on the cluster will blink. We
recommend that you contact an
authorized Hyundai dealer to have the
system checked.
DCT warning messages
This warning message is displayed when
vehicle is driven slowly on a grade and
the vehicle detects that the brake pedal
is not applied.
OAC3069033TUOAC3069033TU
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, allow a gap to form ahead
of you 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 the 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.
