TRANSAXLEC090A01O-GATThe highly efficient Hyundai automatic
transaxle has four forward speeds and
one reverse speed. The individual speeds
are selected automatically, 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 opera-
tion, refer to "Sports Mode".

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 somewhat abrupt. This is a nor-
mal condition, and the shifting sequence
will adjust after shifts are cycled a few
times by the T.C.M (Transaxle Control
Module).
C090A01JM

ter indicate the selector lever position when
the ignition is switched "ON". During "D"

ment; this is the sound of the traction
control being checked.
