o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe- cially careful when braking, acceler- ating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehiclespeed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control. WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lanechanges or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing aseat belt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off theroadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pull- ing back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed lim- its.
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (4 SPEED A/T, 5 SPEED A/T)
C090A01NF-GAT (If installed)
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four/five forward speeds and one reverse speed. The individualspeeds are selected automatically, depending on the position of the speed selector lever. The selector lever has 2gates; the main gate and the manual gate. NOTE: For information on manual gate op- eration, refer to "Sports Mode". In the main gate, the selector lever has 4 positions.

C090C01A-AAT o R (Reverse): Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to a complete stop before shift-ing the selector lever to "R" position. C090D02A-AAT o N (Neutral): In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral, which means that no gears are engaged. The engine can be startedwith the shift lever in "N" position, although this is not recommended ex- cept if the engine stalls while the car ismoving. C090E01CM-AAT
o D(Drive): Use for normal driving. Bring the car to a complete stop before shifting the selector to "D" position. The transaxle will automatically shift through a four/five gear sequence.
CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the vehicle is moving.
! The indicator lights in the instrument cluster indicate the selector lever posi-tion when the ignition is switched "ON". During sports mode operation, the gear currently in use displays in the numeralindicator. C090B02A-AAT The function of each position is as follows: o P (Park): Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked or while starting the engine. Whenever parking the car, apply the parking brake and shift the selectorlever to the "P" (Park) position.
CAUTION:
Never place the selector lever in the"P" (Park) position unless the ve-hicle is fully stopped. Failure to ob- serve this caution will cause severe damage to the transaxle.
!
NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal when shifting. The selector lever can be shiftedfreely.
The first few shifts on a new vehicle, orif the battery has been disconnected, may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and the shiftingsequence will adjust after shifts are cycled a few times by the T.C.M (Trans- mission Control Module). OCM051042R

C090F02L-GAT Sports Mode Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, sports mode is selected by pushing the selector lever from the "D"position into the manual gate. To return to "D" range operation, push the selec- tor lever back into the main gate.In sports mode, moving the selector lever backwards and forwards can make rapid gearshifts simple. In contrast to amanual transaxle, the sports mode al- lows gearshifts with the acceleator pedal depressed. UP (+)
: Push the lever forward once to
shift up one gear.DOWN (-) : Pull the lever backwards
once to shift down one gear.SKIP : By rapidly moving the selector
forward or backward twice, it is possible to skip one gear, i.e. 1st to 3rd or 3rd to 1st .
CAUTION:
o In sports mode, the driver must execute upward shifts in accor-dance with prevailing road condi-tions, taking care to keep the en- gine speed below the red zone.
o For engine protection, upward shifts are made automatically when the engine rpm reaches thered zone.
o By rapidly moving the selector
lever backwards (-) twice, it ispossible to skip one gear, i.e., 3rd to 1st, 4th to 2nd. Since sudden engine braking and/orrapid acceleration can cause a loss of traction, downshifts must be made carefully in accordancewith the vehicle's speed. NOTE:
o In sports mode, only the four/five
forward gears can be selected. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to the "R" or"P" position as required.
o In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically when thevehicle slows down. When the vehicle stops, 1st gear is auto- matically selected.
o To maintain the required levels of vehicle performance and safety,the system may not execute cer- tain gearshifts when the selector lever is operated.
o When driving away from a stop on a slippery road, push the se-lector lever forward into the +(UP) position. This causes the transaxle to shift into 2nd gearwhich is better for smooth driv- ing away on a slippery road. Push the selector lever to the -(DOWN)side to shift back to 1st gear.

C090H01L-GAT NOTE:
o For smooth and safe operation,depress the brake pedal when shifting from "Neutral" position or "Park" position to a forward orreverse gear.
o The ignition key must be in the "ON" position and the brake pedalfully depressed in order to move the shift lever from the "P" (Park) position to any of the other posi-tions.
o It is always possible to shift from
"R", "N", or "D" position to "P" position. The vehicle must be fully stopped to avoid transaxledamage.
C090I03L-GAT
CAUTION:
o Shift into "R", "D" and "P" posi- tion only when the vehicle hascompletely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in reverse or any of the forward po-sitions with the brakes applied.
! o Always apply the footbrake when
shifting from "P" or "N", to "R" or "D" position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) position in place of the parking brake.Always set the parking brake, shift the transaxle into "P" (Park) posi- tion and turn off the ignition whenyou leave the vehicle, even mo- mentarily. Never leave the vehicle unattended while the engine isrunning.
o When accelerating from a stop on
a steep hill, the vehicle may havea tendency to roll backwards. Shifting the shift lever into 2nd gear while in Sport mode willhelp prevent the vehicle from roll- ing backwards.
o Check the automatic transaxle fluid level regularly, and add fluid as necessary.
o See the maintenance for the proper fluid recommendation.
C090J01NF-GAT Shift Lock Release If you cannot move the shift lever from the "P" (Park) position to any other position with the brake pedal fully de- pressed and the ignition key in the "ON"position, remove the cap on the con- sole and with a thin object such as a flat-head screwdriver, push the shiftlock release button down. Then, with the brake pedal depressed, move the shift lever to the desired position, andthen the shift lock release button will automatically return to its original posi- tion after shifting from the "P" (Park)position. Then, reinstall the cap. OCM053005R
