7OPERATING THE MANUAL TRANSAXLE
OMC035013 NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the lever
in neutral for at least 3 seconds after your car is completelystopped. Then move the lever into the reverse position.
o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transaxle lu-bricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful to thetransaxle.
o If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1 st
or
R(Reverse), put the shift lever in N(Neutral) position and release the clutch. Press the clutch pedalback down, and then shift into 1 st
or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as this can result in premature wear of the transaxle shift forks.
C070A03MC-GAT Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has five forward gears and one reverse gear. This shift pattern is imprinted on the shift knob. The transaxle is fullysynchronized in all forward gears so shifting to either a higher or a lower gear is easily accomplished.When shifting into reverse gear, pull the mis-shift prevention tab and shift into reverse gear position.
CAUTION:
o Do not downshift more than 2 gears or downshift the gear when the engine is running at high speed (5,000 RPM or higher). Such down-shifting may damage the engine.
o When downshifting from fifth gear
to fourth gear, caution should betaken not to inadvertently press the gear lever sideways in such a manner that second gear is en-gaged. Such a drastic downshift may cause the engine speed to increase to the point that the ta- chometer will enter the red-zone. Such over-revving of the enginemay possibly cause engine dam- age.

C070D02O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never take the car out of gear andcoast 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 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-rev-ving the engine, which can causedamage.
o Slow down when you encounter cross
winds. This gives you much bettercontrol of your car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into re-verse. The transaxle can be dam- aged if you do not. To shift into reverse, depress the clutch, movethe shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds, then shift to the reverse position.
o Exercise extreme caution when driv- ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-

C070B01A-AAT Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, thenreleased slowly. The clutch pedal should always be used after fully re- turning to the original position. Do notrest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutchto hold the car on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear. Use the parking brake to hold the car on anincline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.
!WARNING:
If your vehicle has a manual transaxle not equipped with a ignition lock switch, it may move and cause aserious accident when starting the engine without depressing the clutch pedal while the parking brake is re-leased and the shift lever not in the N(Neutral) position.

This means that no shift-up to 3rd gear is performed. However, the shift-up tothird gear is done when the car speed exceeds a certain value to prevent the
engine from over-revving. Manuallymove the selector to "D" returning to normal driving condition.
C090E02A-AAT o D (Drive): Use for normal driving. Bring the car to a complete stop before shifting the selector to "D" position. The transaxlewill automatically shift through a four- gear sequence. Never downshift manu- ally to "2" position or "L" position whenvehicle speed is more than 95 km/h (60 mph).
C090C01A-AAT o R (Reverse): Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to a complete stop before shift-ing the selector lever to "R" position. C090G01A-GAT o L (Low gear): Use for driving up a very steep grade or for engine braking when descendingsteep hills. When downshifting to "L", the transaxle will temporarily remain in second gear until the vehicle hasslowed enough for low gear to engage. Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) in low gear.
C090D02A-AAT o N (Neutral): In the "N" position, the transaxle 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.
C090B02A-AAT 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. Whenever parking the car, apply the parking brake and shift the selectorlever to the "P" (Park) position.
!
CAUTION:
Never place the selector lever in the "P" (Park) position unless the ve- hicle is fully stopped. Failure toobserve this caution will cause se- vere damage to the transaxle.
C090F01A-AAT o 2 (Second gear): Use for driving on a slippery road, hill climbing or engine braking downhill. "2" automatically shifts between first and second gears.C090H01A-GAT NOTE:
o For smooth and safe operation,
depress the brake pedal when shifting from "Neutral" position or "Park" position to a forward orreverse gear.

D010B02A-AAT If Engine Doesn't Turn Over or Turns Over Slowly
1. If your car has an automatic transaxle,
be sure the gear selector lever is in "N" or "P" and the emergency brake is set. D010C02A-AAT If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start 1. Check fuel level. 2. With the key in the "OFF" position,
check all connectors at ignition coilsand spark plugs(For Gasoline En-gine) or check all connectors at glow plug and glow plug relay(For Diesel Engine). Reconnect any thatmay be disconnected or loose.
3. Check fuel line in the engine room.4. If engine still refuses to start, call a
Hyundai dealer or seek other quali- fied assistance. D010D01A-AAT If the Engine Stalls While Driv- ing
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keep-
ing a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If your
vehicle will not start, contact a Hyundai dealer or seek other quali- fied assistance.
D010A01A-AAT
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
WARNING:
If the engine will not start, do not push or pull the car to start it. This could result in a collision or cause other damage. In addition, push orpull starting may cause the cata- lytic converter to be overloaded and create a fire hazard.
OMC055018 2. Check the battery connections to be
sure they are clean and tight.
3. Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate the starter, the battery is discharged.
4. Check the starter connections to be sure they are securely tightened.
5. Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it. See instructions for "Jump Starting on the following pages".
F020100AUN If the Engine Stalls at a Cross- road or Crossing
o If the engine stalls at a crossroad orcrossing, set the shift lever in the N(Neutral) position and then push the vehicle to a safe place.
o If your vehicle has a manual transaxle not equipped with the ignition lockswitch, the vehicle can move for-ward by shifting to the 2 (second) or 3 (third) gear and then turning the starter without depressing the clutchpedal.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
D030A02TB-AAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing, the engine is probably too hot. Ifthis happens to you, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out un- der the car or steam is coming outfrom underneath the hood, stop theengine. Do not open the hood until the engine coolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped.If there is no visible loss of engine coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be surethe engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
5. Start the engine in the car with the
discharged battery using the nor-mal starting procedure. After the engine starts, leave the jumper cables connected and let the enginerun at fast idle or about 2,000 rpm for several minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery became discharged (because the lights were left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundaidealer. 4. Check to see if the water pump drive
belt is missing. If it is not missing,check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory, check for coolant leaking from theradiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to bedraining from it when you stop).
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keephair, hands, and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
