Features of your vehicle
Floor mat anchor(s)
When using a floor mat on the front
floor carpet, make sure it attaches to
the floor mat anchor(s) in your vehi-
cle. This keeps the floor mat from
sliding forward.
WARNING
The following must be observed
when installing ANY floor mat
to the vehicle, so that it will not
interfere with the pedal.
Ensure that the floor mats aresecurely attached to the vehi-
cle's floor mat anchor(s)
before driving the vehicle.
Do not use ANY floor mat that cannot be firmly attached to
the vehicle’s floor mat anchors.
Do not stack floor mats on top of one another (e.g. all-weath-
er rubber mat on top of a car-
peted floor mat). Only a single
floor mat should be installed
in each position.
IMPORTANT – Your vehicle was
manufactured with driver’s side
floor mat anchors that are
designed to securely hold the
floor mat in place. To avoid any
interference with pedal opera-
tion, HYUNDAI recommends
that only the HYUNDAI floor mat
designed for use in your vehicle
be installed.
WARNING
The floor mat must be properly
anchored so that it will not
interfere with the operation of
the accelerator pedal. Any inter-
ference with the accelerator
pedal could cause the accelera-
tor pedal not to return to the
idle position. A pedal that can-
not return to the idle position
could lead to an accident which
may result in severe personal
injury or death.

EXTERIOR FEATURES
Roof rack (if equipped)
If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If the vehicle is equipped with a sun-
roof, be sure not to position cargo
onto the roof rack in such a way that
it could interfere with sunroof oper-
ation.
CAUTION
When carrying cargo on the
roof rack, take the necessaryprecautions to make sure thecargo does not damage theroof of the vehicle.
When carrying large objects on the roof rack, make surethey do not exceed the overallroof length or width.
WARNING
The following specification is the maximum weight that can
be loaded onto the roof rack.

RACK EVENLY DISTRIBUTED
ODM042345
(Continued)
The vehicle center of gravity willbe higher when items are
loaded onto the roof rack. Avoid
sudden starts, braking, sharp
turns, abrupt maneuvers or
high speeds that may result in
loss of vehicle control or
rollover resulting in an accident.
Always drive slowly and turn corners carefully when carrying
items on the roof rack. Severe
wind updrafts, caused by pass-
ing vehicles or natural causes,
can cause sudden upward pres-
sure on items loaded on the
roof rack. This is especially true
when carrying large, flat items
such as wood panels or mat-
tresses. This could cause the
items to fall off the roof rack and
cause damage to your vehicle
or others around you.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving, check fre-
quently before or while driving
to make sure the items on the
roof rack are securely fastened.

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 make gearshifts rap-
idly. In contrast to a manual
transaxle, the manual shift mode
allows gearshifts with the accelerator
pedal depressed.
Up (+) : Push the lever forward
once to shift up one gear.
Down (-) : Pull the lever backwards
once to shift down one gear.✽ ✽
NOTICE
• In manual shift mode, the driver
must execute upshifts in accor-
dance with road conditions, taking
care to keep the engine speed
below the red zone.
• In manual shift mode, only the 6 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.
• In manual shift mode, downshifts are made automatically when the
vehicle slows down. When the
vehicle stops, 1
stgear is automati-
cally selected. (Continued)(Continued)
• In manual shift mode, when the
engine rpm approaches the red
zone, the transaxle will upshift
automatically.
• To maintain the required levels of vehicle performance and safety,
the system may not execute cer-
tain gearshifts when the shift lever
is operated.
• When accelerating from a stop on a slippery road, push the shift
lever forward into the +(up) posi-
tion. This causes the transaxle to
shift into 2
ndgear which is better
for smooth accelerating on a slip-
pery road.
