!WARNING:
Do not turn the engine off immedi- ately after it has been subjected to a heavy load. Doing so may causesevere damage to the engine or turbo charger unit. D070A02A-GAT
Your Hyundai's manual transmissionhas a conventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is imprinted on the shiftknob. The transmission is fully syn- chronized in all forward gears so shift- ing to either a higher or a lower gear iseasily accomplished.
D041A02P-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE FOR TURBO CHARGEROR TURBO CHARGER INTER-COOLER (If installed)
(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 en- sure sufficient lubrication of theturbo charger unit.
(2) After high speed or extended driv-
ing, requiring 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.

20 km/h (15 mph)40 km/h (25 mph) 55 km/h (35 mph) 75 km/h (45 mph)
NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the le- ver in neutral for at least 3 sec- onds after your car is completelystopped. Then move the lever into the reverse position.
o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transmis-sion lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful tothe transmission.
o If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1st or"R", put the shift lever in "N" position and let up on the clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down,and then shift into 1st or "R" gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as thiscan result in premature wear of the transmission shift forks. CAUTION:
When downshifting from fifth gearto fourth gear, caution should be taken not to inadvertently press the gear lever sideways in such a man-ner that second gear is engaged. Such a drastic downshift may cause the engine speed to increase to thepoint that the tachometer will enter the red-zone. Such over-revving of the engine may possibly cause en-gine damage.
!
D050B01P-GAT Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. Do not rest your footon the clutch pedal while driving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutch tohold the vehicle on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear. Use the parking brake to hold thevehicle on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeat- edly.

D050C02A-GAT Good Driving Practices
o Never take the vehicle out of gear
and coast down a hill. This is ex- tremely hazardous. Always leave the vehicle in gear.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and mal-function. Instead, when you are driv- ing down a long hill, slow down andshift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.This will help avoid over-running theengine, which can cause damage.
o Slow down when you encounter
cross winds. This gives you muchbetter control of your car.
o Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shiftinto reverse. The transmission can be damaged if you do not. To shift into reverse, depress the clutch,move the shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds, then shift to the re- verse position. o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-cially careful when braking, acceler- ating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abruptchange in engine speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control.
CAUTION:
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off theroadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pull-ing back into the travel lanes.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o Never exceed posted speed lim-
its.

o R (Reverse): Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop beforeshifting the selector lever to "R" posi- tion. D060D01P-GAT
o N (Neutral): In the "N" position, the transmission is in neutral, which means that no gearsare 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.
HSR3083A D060B01P-GAT The function of each position is as follows:
o P (Park): Use to hold the vehicle in place when parking or while starting the engine;shift the selector lever to the "P" posi- tion. Whenever parking the car, apply the parking brake and shift the selectorlever to the "P" position.
CAUTION:
Never place the selector lever in the"P" position unless the vehicle is fully stopped. Failure to observe this caution willcause severe damage to the trans- mission.
!
Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shifting. Push the button when shifting.The selector lever can be shifted freely.
For optimum fuel economy, acceler-ate gradually. The transmission will automatically shift to the second, thirdand overdrive gears.
