DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 5
C070B01A-AAT Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. The clutch pedal should always be used after fully returning to the original position. Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially en- gage the clutch to hold the car on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear. Use the parking brake to hold the car on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly. shift lever in N(Neutral) position and re-lease the clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down, and then shift into 1st or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest
during driving, as this can result in prema- ture wear of the transmission shift forks.
CAUTION: When downshifting from fifth gear to fourth gear, caution should be taken not to inadvert- ently press the gear shift lever sideways in such a manner that second gear is engaged. Such a drastic downshift may cause the en- gine speed to increase to the point that the tachometer will enter the red-zone. Such over- revving of the engine may possibly cause engine damage. C070D02O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never take the car out of gear and coast down
a hill. This is extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them
to overheat and malfunction. Instead, when you are driving down a long hill, slow down and shift 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-revving the engine, which can cause damage.
o Slow down when you encounter cross winds.
This gives you much better control of your car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into reverse. The trans- mission 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 reverse position.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful when braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel move- ments, such as sharp lane changes orfast, sharp turns. C070E03A-GAT RECOMMENDED SHIFT POINTS

Shift
from-to Recommended
20 km/h (15 mph) 40 km/h (25 mph) 55 km/h (35 mph)75 km/h (45 mph)
The shift points as shown above are recom- mended for optimum fuel economy and perfor- mance.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a per- son wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if
you lose control of your vehicle at high- way speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road-
way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.

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 headlights switched on, the appro- priate symbol on the quadrant 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.
