Icy Road Warning Light
(if equipped)
This warning light is to warn the driver
the road may be icy. When the temperature on the out-
side temperature gauge is approxi-
mately below 4°C (40°F), the Icy
Road Warning Light and Outside
Temperature Gauge blinks 10 times,
and then illuminates. Also, the warn-
ing chime sounds 3 times.
Information
If the icy road warning light appears
whilst driving, you should drive more
attentively and safely refraining from
over-speeding, rapid acceleration, sud-
den braking or sharp turning, etc.

if equipped) and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected
automatically in the D (Drive) position.

Driving your vehicle
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
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) whilst 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 transaxle will automatically shift
through a 6(or 8) - gear sequence,
providing the best fuel economy and
power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or driving uphill, depress
the accelerator fully. The transaxle
will automatically downshift to the
next lower gear (or gears, as appro-
priate).
The DRIVE MODE switch, located on
the shift lever console, allows the driv-
er to switch from NORMAL mode to
SPORT mode. (if equipped)
For more details, refer to "Drive
Mode Integrated Control System"
later in this chapter.
NOTICE
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 could
lose control of the vehicle and
hit people or objects.

Sports mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in motion, sports mode is selected by
pushing the shift lever from the D
(Drive) position into the manual gate.
To return to D (Drive) range opera-
tion, push the shift lever back into the
main gate.In Sports Mode, moving the shift
lever backwards and forwards will
allow you to select the desired range
of gears for the current driving condi-
tions.
+ (Up) : Push the lever forward once
to shift up one gear.
- (Down) : Pull the lever backwards once to shift down one
gear.
Information
• Only the six or eight forward gearscan 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 auto-
matically selected.
• When the engine rpm approaches the red zone the transaxle will
upshift automatically.
(Continued)(Continued)
• If the driver presses the lever to
+ (Up) or - (Down) position, the
transaxle may not make the request-
ed 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.
• When driving on a slippery road, push the shift lever forward into the
+ (Up) position. This causes the
transaxle to shift into the 2nd gear
which is better for smooth driving
on a slippery road. Push the shift
lever to the - (Down) side to shift
back to the 1st gear.

Ignition key interlock system (if equipped)
The ignition key cannot be removed
unless the shift lever is in the P
(Park) position.
Parking
Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal.
Move the shift lever into the P (Park)
position, apply the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position. Take the Key
with you when exiting the vehicle.
Good driving practices
• Never move the shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
• Never move the shift lever into P (Park) when the vehicle is in
motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
• Do not move the shift lever to N (Neutral) when driving. Doing so
may result in an accident because
of a loss of engine braking and the
transaxle could be damaged.
• Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure.
• When driving in sports mode, slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear
may not be engaged if the engine
rpms are outside of the allowable
range.
When you stay in the vehicle
with the engine running, be
careful not to depress the accel-
erator pedal for a long period of
time. The engine or exhaust
system may overheat and start
a fire.
The exhaust gas and the
exhaust system are very hot.
Keep away from the exhaust
system components.
Do not stop or park over flam-
mable materials, such as dry
grass, paper or leaves. They
may ignite and cause a fire.

• For smooth launch uphill, pressdown the accelerator pedal
smoothly depending on the current
conditions.
• If you release your foot from the accelerator pedal at low vehicle
speed, you may feel strong engine
brake, which is similar to manual
transaxle.
• 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.LCD display for transmission
temperature and warning mes-
sage
Transmission temperaturegauge
• Select trip computer mode on the
LCD display and move to the trans-
mission temperature screen to see
the temperature of the dual clutch
transmission.
• Try to drive so that the temperature gauge do not show high/overheat.
When the transmission is over-
heated, the warning message will
display on the LCD. Follow the dis-
played message. • The transmission temperature is
displayed in three colours (white,
orange and red) as it increases. (if
equipped with the cluster type B)
• Orange temperature gauge is dis- played right before the warning
message appears on the LCD dis-
play. (if equipped)
Due to transmission failure, you
may not continue to drive and
the position indicator (D, R) on
the cluster will blink. We recom-
mend you to contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer
and have the system checked.
WARNING
OTLE058233/OJS058137L
• Increase (high temperature) of
the transmission temperature
gauge usually appears on an
incline when the vehicle is
stopped for a long time using
accelerator pedal, without
depressing the brake pedal.
• To maintain the optimal trans-
mission performance, drive
so that the white gauge is not
exceeded. (if equipped)

D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position.
The transmission will automatically
shift through a 7-gear sequence, pro-
viding the best fuel economy and
power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or driving uphill, depress
the accelerator fully. The transmis-
sion will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear (or gears, as
appropriate).
The DRIVE MODE switch, located on
the shift lever console, allows the driv-
er to switch from NORMAL mode to
SPORT mode. (if equipped)
For more details, refer to "Drive

later in this chapter.Always make sure the vehicle is
stationary, at a complete stop,
before selecting D (Drive).
Sports mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, sports 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 select the desired range of
gears for the current driving conditions.
Up (+) : Push the lever forward once
to shift up one gear.
Down (-) : Pull the lever backwards
once to shift down one 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.
