CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position while
the vehicle is moving.
Depress the brake pedal when shift-
ing.
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 normal condi-
tion, and the shifting sequence will adjust
after shifts are cycled a few times by the
T.C.M (Transaxle Control Module).

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLEC090A02TG-GATAutomatic transaxle operationThe highly efficient Hyundai automatic
transaxle has five 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.
In the main gate, the selector lever has 4
positions (P,R,N,D) for normal driving.The
manual gate (+, -) is used for sports mode
driving.

The indicator lights in the instrument clus-
ter indicate the selector lever position (1)
when the ignition is switched "ON". During
sports mode operation, the gear currently
in use displays in the numeral indicator (2).

C090D02A-AATo N (Neutral):In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neu-
tral, which means that no gears are en-
gaged. The engine can be started with the
shift lever in "N" position, although this is
not recommended except if the engine
stalls while the car is moving.C090C01A-AATo R (Reverse):Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the
car to a complete stop before shifting the
selector lever to "R" position.C090E02TG-GATo D (Drive):Use for normal driving. Bring the car to a
complete stop before shifting the selector
to "D" position. The transaxle will automati-
cally shift through a five gear sequence.
C090F02TG-GATSports ModeYou can use this mode to feel the driving
of manual transaxle vehicle by operating
the selector lever manually. To change the
mode, push the selector lever from D to
sports mode. To return to normal auto-
matic driving mode, push the selector le-
ver back to D.
Sports mode can be used for driving on a
slippery road, hill climbing or engine brak-
ing in down hill by selecting proper gear.
Shifting up (1→2→3→4→5) : Move the
lever forward(+) once to shift up one gear.
Shifting down (5→4→3→2→1) : Move
the lever backward(-) once to shift down
one gear.
C090F01TG
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 transaxle.
!
NOTE:The ignition key must be in the "ON"
position and the brake pedal fully de-
pressed in order to move the shift lever
from the "P" (Park) position to any of the
other positions.C090B03A-AATTransaxle ranges
o P (Park):Use to hold the vehicle in place when
parked or while starting the engine. When-
ever parking the car, apply the parking
brake and shift the selector lever to the "P"
(Park) position.
C095E01TG-GATo +,- (Sports mode) :This is the sports mode position. Gears
can be shifted up or down by operating the
selector lever manually.
+ : Upshift
- : Downshift

NOTE:o In sports mode, downward shifts are
made automatically when the vehicle
slows down. When the vehicle stops,
1st gear is automatically selected.
o To maintain the required levels of ve-
hicle performance and safety, the sys-
tem may not execute certain gear-
shifts when the selector lever is oper-
ated.
o Before driving away from a stop on a
slippery road, push the selector lever
forward into the +(UP) position. This
causes the transaxle to shift into 2nd
gear which is better for smooth driv-
ing away on a slippery road. Push the
selector lever to the -(DOWN) side to
shift back to 1st gear.

C090I04L-GAT
CAUTION:
o Shift into "R", "D" and "P" position
only when the vehicle has completely
stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in re-
verse or any of the forward positions
with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when
shifting from "P" or "N", to "R" or
"D"position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) position in
place of the parking brake. Always
set the parking brake, shift the
transaxle into "P" (Park) position and
turn off the ignition when you leave the
vehicle, even momentarily. Never
leave the vehicle unattended while
the engine is running.
o When accelerating from a stop on a
steep hill, the vehicle may have a
tendency to roll backwards. Shifting
the shift lever into 2nd gear while in
Sport mode will help prevent the ve-
hicle from rolling backwards.
o Check the automatic transaxle fluid
level regularly, and add fluid as nec-
essary.
o See the maintenance schedule for
the proper fluid recommendation.
CAUTION:
o In sports mode, the driver must ex-
ecute upward shifts in accordance
with prevailing road conditions, tak-
ing care to keep the engine speed
below the red zone.
o For engine protection, upward shifts
are made automatically when the
engine rpm reaches the red zone.
o Since sudden engine braking and/or
rapid acceleration can cause a loss of
traction, downshifts must be made
carefully in accordance with the
vehicle's speed.
