Driving your vehicle
✽✽
NOTICE
• In Manual shift mode, the driver must
execute upshifts in accordance with
road conditions, taking care to keep
the engine speed below the red zone.
• In Manual shift mode, only the 6 for-
ward 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,
1st gear is automatically selected.
• In Manual shift mode, when the
engine rpm approaches the red zone,
the transaxle will upshift automatical-
ly.
• To maintain the required levels of
vehicle performance and safety, the
system may not execute certain
gearshifts when the shift lever is oper-
ated.
• When driving on a slippery road,
move the shift lever to the Manual
shift mode and push the shift lever
forward into the + (up) position. This
causes the transaxle to shift into the
next upper gear which is better for
smooth driving on a slippery road.
Push the shift lever to the - (down)
side to shift back to the next lower
gear.
Shift lock system
For your safety, the automatic transaxle
has a shift lock system which prevents
shifting the transaxle from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) into R (Reverse) unless the
brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transaxle from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion. (if equipped)
3. Move the shift lever.
Shift-lock override (if equipped)
If the shift lever cannot be moved from
the P (Park) or N (Neutral) position into R
(Reverse) position with the brake pedal
depressed, continue depressing the
brake, then do the following:
1. Carefully remove the cap covering the
shift-lock override access hole.
2. Insert a screwdriver into the access
hole and press down on the screwdriv-
er.
3. Move the shift lever.
4. Have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer immedi-
ately.
WARNING
Always fully depress the brake
pedal before and while shifting out
of the P (Park) position into anoth-
er position to avoid inadvertent
motion of the vehicle which could
injure persons in or around the car.
