2- 6 C090B01A-AAT The function of each position is as follows: o P (Park): Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked orwhile starting the engine. Whenever parking thecar, apply the parking brake and shift the selectorlever to the "P" (Park) position. CAUTION: Never place the selector lever in the "P"(Park) position unless the vehicle is fullystopped. Failure to observe this caution willcause severe damage to the transaxle. 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. C090D02O-AAT o N (Neutral): In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral, which means that no gears are engaged. Theengine can be started with the shift lever in "N"position, although this is not recommended ex-cept if the engine stalls while the car is moving.

C090A04Y-GAT AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four forward speeds and one reverse speed.The individual speeds are selected automatical-ly, depending on the position of the speed selec-tor lever. The selector lever has 2 gates; the maingate and the manual gate. NOTE: For information on manual gate operation,refer to "Sports Mode". In the main gate, the selector lever has 4 posi- tions, and is equipped with a button to avoidinadvertent wrong selection. NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shifting.Push the button when shifting.The selector lever can be shifted freely.
The first few shifts on a new vehicle, or if the battery has been disconnected, may be some-what abrupt. This is a normal condition, andthe shifting sequence will adjust after shiftsare cycled a few times by the T.C.M (Trans-mission Control Module). CAUTION: Never shift into "R" or "P" position while thevehicle is moving.
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster indicate the selector lever position when theignition is switched "ON". During "D" or sportsmode operation, the gear currently in use dis-plays in the numeral indicator.

C090F02GK-GAT Sports Mode
HGK175
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, sports mode is selected by pushing the selectorlever from the "D" position into the manual gate.To return to "D" range operation, push the selec-tor lever back into the main gate.In sports mode, moving the selector lever back-wards and forwards can make rapid gearshiftssimple. In contrast to a manual transaxle, thesports mode allows gearshifts with the accelera-tor pedal depressed.UP (+) : Push the lever forward once to shift up
one gear.DOWN (-) : Pull the lever backwards once to shift
down one gear.
C090E01O-AAT
o D(Drive):Use for normal driving. The transaxle will auto- matically shift through a four gear sequence.
CAUTION:
o In sports mode, the driver must execute
shifts in accordance with prevailing roadconditions, taking care to keep the enginespeed below the red zone.
o For engine protection, upward shifts are made automatically when the engine rpmreaches the red zone.
o By rapidly moving the selector lever back- wards (-) twice it is possible to skip onegear by using the sports mode. Sincesudden engine braking and/or rapid ac-celeration can cause a loss of traction,however, downshifts must be made care-fully in accordance with the vehicle'sspeed.
NOTE:
o In sports mode, only the four forward gears can be selected. To reverse or parkthe vehicle, move the selector lever to the"R" or "P" position as required.
o In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slowsdown. When the vehicle stops, 1st gear isautomatically selected.
o To maintain the required levels of vehicle performance and safety, the system maynot execute certain gearshifts when theselector lever is operated.
C090H01L-GAT NOTE:
o For smooth and safe operation, depressthe brake pedal when shifting from "Neu- tral" position or "Park" position to a for-ward or reverse gear.
o The ignition key must be in the "ON" position and the brake pedal fully de-pressed in order to move the shift leverfrom the "P" (Park) position to any of theother positions.
o It is always possible to shift from "R", "N", "D" position to "P" position. The vehiclemust be fully stopped to avoid transaxledamage.
o Before driving away from a stop on a
slippery road, push the selector lever for-ward into the +(UP) position. This causesthe transaxle to shift into 2nd gear whichis better for smooth driving away on aslippery road. Push the selector lever tothe -(DOWN) side to shift back to 1st gear.
