DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

o N (Neutral):
In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neu-
tral, which means that no gears are en-
gaged. The engine can be started with the
shift lever in "N" position, although this is
not recommended except if the engine
stalls while the car is moving.
C090C01A-AAT
o R (Reverse):
Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the
car to a complete stop before shifting the
selector lever to "R" position.
C090E01TG-GAT
o D (Drive):
Use for normal driving. The transaxle will
automatically shift through a five gear se-
quence.
CAUTION:
o In sports mode, the driver must ex-
ecute upward shifts in accordance
with prevailing road conditions, tak-
ing care to keep the engine speed
below the red zone.
o For engine protection, upward shifts
are made automatically when the
engine rpm reaches the red zone.
o By rapidly moving the selector lever
backwards (-) twice it is possible to
skip one gear, i.e., 3rd to 1st, 4th to 2nd
or 5th to 3rd. Since sudden engine
braking and/or rapid acceleration can
cause a loss of traction, downshifts
must be made carefully in accordance
with the vehicle's speed.

Sports Mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, sports mode is selected by push-
ing the selector lever from the "D" position
into the manual gate. To return to "D" range
operation, push the selector lever back
into the main gate.
In sports mode, moving the selector lever
backwards and forwards can make rapid
gearshifts simple. In contrast to a manual
transaxle, the sports mode allows gear-
shifts with the accelerator pedal depressed.

UP (+) : Push the lever forward once to shift

DOWN (-) : Pull the lever backwards once
to shift down one gear.
SKIP : By rapidly moving the selector for-
ward or backward twice, it is possible to
skip one gear, i.e. 1st to 3rd or 3rd to 1st .
