Programming
Your vehicle may require that the ignition switch
to be turned to the "ACC" position to program
and/or operate HomeLink system. It is also
recommended that a new battery be placed in
the handheld transmitter of the device being
programmed to HomeLink for quicker program-
ming and accurate transmission of the radio-
frequency.
Follow these steps to program your HomeLink
mirror:
1. When programming the buttons for the first
time, press and hold the two outside
HomeLink buttons ( , ), releasing when
the indicator light begins to flash (approxi-
mately 20 seconds). This procedure erases
the factory-set default codes. Do not per-
form this step when programming additional
transmitters.2. Hold the transmitter of the device you want
to program 1 to 3 inches away from the
bottom of the mirror. Simultaneously press
the handheld transmitter button and the
HomeLink button you wish to program. The
indicator light will flash slowly at first, then
rapidly, indicating successful programming.
3. If the garage door opener or other device you
wish to program is rolling-code equipped,
proceed to the "Rolling Code Programming"
section.
4. Repeat step 2 to program the remaining
HomeLink buttons.

ton a second time to complete the program-
ming process. (Some devices may require
you to press and release a third time to

equipped device should be synchronized.
The remaining HomeLink buttons may now
be programmed if this has not been done
previously.

C090A01O-GATAUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle
has four forward speeds and one reverse
speed. The individual speeds are selected au-
tomatically, depending on the position of the
speed selector lever. The selector lever has 2
gates; the main gate and the manual gate.
NOTE:For information on manual gate operation,
refer to "Sports Mode".
In the main gate, the selector lever has 4
positions, and is equipped with a button to avoid
inadvertent 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, and the
shifting sequence will adjust after shifts are
cycled a few times by the T.C.M (Transmission
Control Module).
CAUTION:Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the
vehicle is moving.C090A01O

2- 22 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
CAUTION:If overheating should occur when towing,
(the temperature gauge reads near red zone),
taking the following action may reduce or
eliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place the
gear selector in park or neutral and idle
the engine at a higher speed. 8. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your
vehicle and trailer moving, and then apply the
trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the
brakes are working. This lets you check
your electrical connection at the same time.
9. During your trip, check occasionally to be
sure that the load is secure, and that the
lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
10.Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or
sudden stops.
11.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
12.Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long
or too frequently. This could cause the brakes
to overheat, resulting in reduced braking
efficiency.
13.When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear
and use the engine braking effect.
When ascending a long grade, downshift the
transaxle to a lower gear and reduce speed
to reduce chances of engine overloading
and/or overheating.
14.If you have to stop while going uphill, do not
hold the vehicle in place by pressing on the
accelerator. This can cause the automatic
transaxle to overheat. Use the parking brake
or footbrake.
15.If the transmission shifts frequently while
going up a hill, shift down one gear.
NOTE:When towing check transaxle fluid more
frequently.
