2- 4 C070A02HP-GAT OPERATING THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION Your Hyundai's manual transmission has a con- ventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is im- printed on the shift knob. The transmission is fully synchronized in all forward gears so shifting to either a higher or a lower gear is easily accom- plished. NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the lever in
neutral for at least 3 seconds after yourcar is completely stopped. Then move the lever into the reverse position.
o During cold weather, shifting may be dif- ficult until the transmission lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harm- ful to the transmission.
o If you 've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1st or R(Reverse), put the
SSA2090A
NOTE: If the engine were not started within 2 sec- onds after the preheating is completed, turn the ignition key once more to the "LOCK" position during 10 seconds, and then to the "ON" position, in order to preheat again.
5. Operate the accelerator pedal as describedbelow in accordance with the atmospheric temperature and/or engine condition. (Diesel Engine (2.5 TCI) Only)
(1) When the atmospheric temperature is moderate or the engine is warm:Start the engine without depressing the accelerator pedal.
(2) When the atmospheric temperature is
low and the engine is cold: Start the engine while depressing the accelerator pedal. If the atmospheric tem- perature is very low, setting the ignition switch to "ON" for one or two seconds before attempting to start the engine will make it easier to start.
6. Turn the ignition key to the "START" position and release it when the engine starts. C055B01HP-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE EN- GINE FOR TURBO CHARGER INTER- COOLER (Diesel Engine)
(1) Do not race the engine or sudden accelerate
the engine immediately after start it. If the engine is cold, allow the engine to idle for several seconds before it is driven to ensure sufficient lubrication of the turbo charger unit.
(2) After high speed or extended driving, requir- ing a heavy engine load, the engine should be allowed to idle, as shown in the chart below, before turning it off. This idle time will allow the turbo charger to cool prior to shutting the engine off.
Required Idle Time
High speed driving Driving Condition
Normal drivingNot necessary About 20 seconds About 1 minute
Up to 100km/h
Up to 80 km/h
Steep mountain slopes or contin- ued driving in excess of 100km/h About 2 minutes
WARNING: Do not turn the engine off immediately after it has been subjected to a heavy load. Doing so may cause severe damage to the engine or turbo charger unit.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 6 C090B01HP-GAT The function of each position is as follows:
o P (Park): Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked or while starting the engine. Whenever parking the car, apply the parking brake and shift the selector lever to the "P" (Park) position. CAUTION: Never place the selector lever in the "P" (Park) position unless the vehicle is fully stopped. Failure to observe this caution will cause severe damage to the transmission. 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. C090D01HP-GAT
o N (Neutral): In the "N" position, the transmission is in neutral, which means that no gears are engaged. The engine 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. C090E01HP-GAT
o D (Drive): Use for normal driving. The transmission will automatically shift through a four-gear sequence, giving best economy and power. Never down- shift manually to "2" position or "L" position when vehicle speed is more than 96 km/h (60 mph). C090F01A-AAT
o 2 (Second gear): Use for driving on slippery road, hill climbing or engine braking downhill. "2" automatically shifts between 1st and 2nd gears. This means that no shift-up to 3rd gear is per- formed. However, the shift-up to 3rd gear is done when the car speed exceeds a certain value to prevent the engine from over-running. Manually move the selector to "D" returning to normal driving condition. C090G01HP-GAT
o L (Low gear):Use for driving up a very steep grade or for engine braking when descending steep hills. When downshifting to "L", the transmission will temporarily remain in second gear until the ve- hicle has slowed enough for low gear to engage. Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) in low gear. "L" engages 1st gear only. However, shift-up to 2nd is performed when the vehicle exceeds a certain speed, and as the speed increases, shift- up to 3rd gear occurs to prevent over-running the engine.
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transmis-sion has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. It has a conventional shift pattern as shown in the illustration. At night, with the side markers or headlights switched on, the appropriate symbol on the quad- rant will be illuminated according to the range selected. CAUTION: Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the vehicle is moving. NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shifting. Push the button when shifting. The selector lever can be shifted freely.
C090A01HP-GAT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (If installed)
C090A01HP
For optimum fuel economy, accelerate gradu- ally. The transmission will automatically shift to the second, third and overdrive gears.

C350A01HP-GAT Part-time 4WD operation
1. Knob position This is used to set different positions. 2H(Rear-wheel drive) When driving on normal roads and highway. 4H(High range 4-wheel drive) When driving off-road, wet or snow-covered roads with normal speed. The 4WD engaged indicator light ( ) will be turned on to remind you that you are in the 4H mode. 4L(Low range 4-wheel drive) Use "4L" for climbing or descending steep hills, off-road driving, and towing the vehicle. Especially when increased drive power is re- quired. The 4WD LOW indicator light ( ) will be turned on to remind you that you are in the 4L mode.
2. Transfer shift knob operation By turning the transfer shift knob(4H, 4L), both axles of the vehicle are rigidly connected with each other. This improves the traction character- istics.2H
4H
Turn the transfer shift knob from the 2H mode tothe 4H mode at speed below 80 km/h. It is not necessary to depress the clutch pedal (Manual Transmission) or put the shift lever into "N(neutral)" position (Automatic Transmission). Perform this operation when driving straight.

D090E01HP-GAT Driving Four-wheel drive safely
o The driving posture should be more uprightand closer to the wheel than usual; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation.
o Be sure to wear the seat belt.
o Drive carefully when off the road and avoid dangerous areas.
o 4WD has higher ground clearance and a
narrower track to make them capable of per-forming in a wide variety of off road applica- tions. Specific design characteristics give them a higher center of gravity than ordinary cars. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you to anticipate problems. They are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as 4H

3. Select the 4H mode.
CAUTION: Do not select 4WD (4H or 4L) mode on dry paved roads. Especially on dry high way, never select the 4WD mode. Four-wheel driving on dry paved roads for a long period will increase the fuel consump- tion with possible noise generation and early tire wear. In addition, differential oil temper- ature increases with possible driving system part wear.
