Driving your vehicle
• The Dual Clutch Transmission gives
the driving feel of a manual trans-
mission, yet provides the ease of a
fully automatic transmission. Unlike
a traditional automatic transmis-
sion, the gear shifting can be felt
(and heard) on the dual clutch
transmission.
- Think of it as an automatically
shifting manual transmission.
- Shift into Drive range and get fully
automatic shifting, similar to a
conventional automatic transmis-
sion.
• Dual clutch transmission adopts
wet-type dual clutch, which is dif-
ferent from torque converter of
automatic transmission, and
shows better acceleration perform-
ance during driving. But, initial
launch might be little bit slower
than Automatic Transmission.
• The wet-type clutch transfers
torque and provides a direct driving
feeling which may feel different
from a conventional automatic
transmission with a torque convert-
er. This may be more noticeable
when starting from a stop or low
vehicle speed.• When rapidly accelerating at low
vehicle speed, engine could rev at
high rpm depending on vehicle
drive condition.
• For smooth launch uphill, press
down 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
transmission.
• 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.
• 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.
•When using Manual Shift Mode,
use caution when 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.
•To avoid damage to your
transmission, do not try to
accelerate with the shift lever
in R (Reverse) or any forward
gear position with the brake
engaged.
•When stopped on a slope, do
not hold the vehicle with accel-
erator pedal. Engage the serv-
ice brake or the parking brake.

DCT warning messages
Steep grade
This warning message is displayed
when vehicle is driven slowly on a
grade and the vehicle detects that
the brake pedal is not applied.
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, keep some distance ahead
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 brake pedal dis-
engaged, the clutch and transmis-
sion 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.
NOTICE
Due to transmission failure, you
may not continue to drive and
the position indicator (D, P) on
the instrument cluster will blink.
We recommend that you contact
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and have the system checked.

Transmission high temperature
• Under certain conditions, such as
repeated stop-and-go launches on
steep grades, sudden take off or
acceleration, or other harsh driving
conditions, the transmission clutch
temperatures will increase exces-
sively. Finally the clutch in trans-
mission could be overheated.
• When the clutch is overheated, the
safe protection mode engages and
the gear position indicator on the
cluster blinks with a chime. At this
time, “Transmission temperature is
high! Stop safely” warning message
will appear on the LCD display and
driving may not be smooth.• If this occurs, pull over to a safe
location, stop the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the brakes
and shift the vehicle to P (Park),
and allow the transmission to cool.
• If you ignore this warning, the driv-
ing condition may become worse.
You may experience abrupt shifts,
frequent shifts, or jerkiness. To
return to the normal driving condi-
tion, stop the vehicle and apply the
foot brake or shift into P (Park).
Then allow the transmission to cool
for a few minutes with engine on,
before driving off.
• When possible, drive the vehicle
smoothly.
Transmission overheated
• If the vehicle continues to be driv-
en and the clutch temperatures
reach the maximum temperature
limit, the "Transmission hot! Park
with engine On" warning will be
displayed. When this occurs the
clutch is disabled until the clutch
cools to normal temperatures.

The indicator in the instrument clus-
ter displays the shift lever position
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park).
To shift from P (Park), you must
depress firmly on the brake pedal
and make sure your foot is off the
accelerator pedal.
If you have done all of the above
and still cannot shift the lever out
of P (Park), see "Shift-Lock
Release" in this chapter.
The shift lever must be in P (Park)
before turning the engine off.
•Shifting into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion may
cause you to lose control of
the vehicle.
•After the vehicle has stopped,
always make sure the shift
lever is in P (Park), apply the
parking brake, and turn the
engine off.
•When parking on an incline,
block the wheels to prevent
the vehicle from rolling down.
•For safety, always engage the
parking brake with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position
except for the case of emer-
gency parking.
•Do not use the P (Park) posi-
tion in place of the parking
brake.

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
transmission if you shift into R
(Reverse) while the vehicle is in
motion.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission 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.
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position. The
transmission will automatically shift
through a 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 transmis-
sion will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear (or gears, as
appropriate).
To stop the vehicle during driving,
Please depress brake pedal fully to
prevent unintended movement.
NOTICE
•Do not shift 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 vehi-
cle and hit people or objects.
•Do not drive with the shift
lever in N (Neutral). The
engine brake will not work
and may lead to an accident.
WARNING
Always park the vehicle in P
(Park) for safety and engage the
parking brake.

Always make sure the vehicle is
stationary, at a complete stop,
before selecting D (Drive).
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.
Manual shift mode manages the driv-
ing dynamics by automatically adjust-
ing the steering effort, and the engine
and transmission control logic for
enhanced driver performance.
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 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.

cle stops, 1st gear is automatically
selected.
• To maintain the required levels of
vehicle performance and safety, the
system may not execute certain
gearshifts when the shift lever is
operated.
• In manual shift mode, the fuel effi-
ciency may decrease.While stopping the vehicle by
applying parking brake in D gear,
even if you release the parking
brake, the vehicle may not move.

The paddle shifter will operate when
the vehicle speed is more than
10km/h.
Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once
to shift up or down one gear and the
system changes from automatic
mode to manual mode.
When the vehicle speed is lower
than 10km/h, if you depress the
accelerator pedal for more than 5
seconds or if you move the shift lever
from D (Drive) to manual shift mode
and move it from manual shift mode
to D (Drive) again, the system
changes from manual mode to auto-
matic mode.
When the engine reaches maximum
rpm in manual shift mode by paddle
shifting at shift lever D (driving) posi-
tion, the shift is automatically per-
formed.
With the shift lever in the manual
shift mode
Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once
to shift up or down one gear.
In the manual shift mode (+, -) posi-
tion, even when the engine reaches

Shift-lock system
For your safety, the dual clutch trans-
mission has a shift-lock system
which prevents shifting the transmis-
sion from P (Park) into R (Reverse)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P
(Park) into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or place the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
Shift-lock release
If the shift lever cannot be moved from
the P (Park) position into R (Reverse)
position with the brake pedal
depressed, continue depressing the
brake, and then do the following:
1. Place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Push the shift-lock release button
(1).
4. Move the shift lever while pushing
the shift-lock release button.
5. Stop pushing the shift-lock release
button.6. Depress the brake pedal, and the
restart the engine.
If you need to use the shift-lock
release, we recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer immediately.
Ignition key interlock system
(if equipped)
The ignition key cannot be removed
unless the shift lever is in the P
(Park) position.
Always fully depress the brake
pedal before and while shifting
out of the P (Park) position into
another position to avoid inad-
vertent motion of the vehicle
which could injure persons in
or around the vehicle.

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 (Revers) or D (Drive).
• Never take the vehicle out of gear
and coast down a hill. Always leave
the vehicle in gear when moving.
• Do not “ride” the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and mal-
function. Instead, when you are
driving down a long hill, slow down
and shift to a lower gear. When you
do this, engine braking will help
slow the car.
• When driving in manual shift 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.• Always apply the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis-
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.
• Exercise extreme caution when
driving 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.
• Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator. 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.
