Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy traf-
fic or while driving up steep hills, down-
shift before the engine starts to labor.
Downshifting reduces the chance of
stalling and gives better acceleration
when you again need to increase your
speed. When the vehicle is traveling
down steep hills, downshifting helps
maintain safe speed and prolongs brake
life.
CAUTION
If you shift to the 1st gear quickly,
because of the immediate force, it
is possible to shift to R (Reverse)instead of 1st gear.
Before driving, check that the warning chime operates once,
when you press the brake pedal and shift to R (Reverse). If thewarning chime does not operatewhen you shift to R (Reverse),
contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
Before driving you should learn how to shift to R (Reverse), to the1st gear or the 2nd gear.
Shift to R only when the vehicle is stationary. When the shift lever ispressed to the left, a slight resist-ance has to be overcome.
