WARNING
To turn the engine off in an emergency:
Press and hold the Engine Start/ Stop
button for more than two seconds OR
rapidly press and release the Engine
Start/Stop button three times (within 3
seconds).
If the vehicle is still moving, you
can restart the engine without

pedal (Manual transmission) by
pressing the Engine Start/Stop button
with the shift lever in the N (Neutral)
position.
WARNING
[ NEVER press the Engine Start/ Stop
button whilst 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

to loss of directional control and
braking function, which could cause
an accident.
[ Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always set the parking brake, press
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
OFF position, and take the Smart
Key with you. Unexpected vehicle

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 in the
1st gear when the vehicle is parked
on an 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 the 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 the first gear or R (Reverse)
gear.

Driving your vehicle
Using the clutch (if equipped)
The clutch pedal should be depressed all
the way to the floor before:
- Starting the engine
The engine will not start without
depressing the clutch pedal.
- Shifting
To start your vehicle, slowly release
the clutch pedal and depress the
accelerator.
When releasing the clutch pedal, release
it slowly. The clutch pedal should always
be released whilst driving.
NOTICE
To prevent unnecessary wear or
damage to the clutch:
[ Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal whilst driving.
[ Do not hold the vehicle with the
clutch on an incline, whilst waiting
for the traffic light, etc.
[ Always depress the clutch pedal
down fully to prevent noise or
damage.
[ Do not start with the 2nd (second)
gear engaged except when you start
on a slippery road.
[ Depress the clutch pedal all the way
and be careful not to depress the
pedal again before returning to the
upright position after you release
the pedal. If you depress the pedal
before returning to the original
position repeatedly, it may cause the
clutch system failure.
Downshifting
Downshift when you must slow down in
heavy traffic or drive up a steep hill to
prevent engine load.
Also, downshifting reduces the chance
of stalling and can accelerate when you
need to increase your speed again.
When the vehicle is going downhill,
downshifting helps maintain safe speed
by providing brake power from the
engine and enables less wear on the
brakes.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the engine,
clutch and transmission:
[ When downshifting the 5th gear
to the 4th gear, be careful not to
inadvertently push the shift lever
sideways engaging the 2nd gear.
A drastic downshift may cause the
engine speed to increase to the point
the tachometer will enter the red-
zone.
[ 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
a downshifting may damage the
engine, clutch and the transmission.

cause the brakes and related parts to
overheat 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.

[ ( [ H U F L V H H [ W U H P H F D X W L R Q Z K H Q G U L Y L Q J
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.
WARNING
Do not use the engine brake (shifting
from a higher gear to lower gear)
rapidly on slippery roads. The vehicle
may slip causing an accident.
WARNING
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 cornering 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.
[ 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 follow all
posted speed limits.

The transmission is fully synchronized
in all forward gears so shifting to
either a higher or a lower gear is easily
accomplished. Depress the clutch pedal
down fully whilst shifting, then release it
slowly.
If your vehicle is equipped with an
ignition lock switch, the engine will not
start when starting the engine without
depressing the brake pedal and clutch
pedal. (if equipped)
The shift lever must be returned to the
neutral position before shifting into
R (Reverse). Push the button located
immediately below the shift knob
and pull the gearshift lever to the left
sufficiently, and then shift into reverse
(R) gear position. Make sure the vehicle
is completely stopped before shifting
into R (Reverse).
Never operate the engine with the
tachometer (rpm) in the red zone. 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 the 1st gear
or R(Reverse), leave the shift lever at
N(Neutral) position and release the
clutch. Press the clutch pedal back
down, and then shift into the 1st gear
or R(Reverse) gear position.
