(Continued)
• The anti-theft steering column
lock is not a substitute for the
parking brake. Before leaving the
driver's seat, always make sure
the shift lever is engaged in 1st
gear for the manual transaxle or
P (Park) for the automatic
transaxle/Continuously Variable
Transaxle/Dual clutch transmis-
sion, set the parking brake fully
and shut the engine off.
Unexpected and sudden vehicle
movement may occur if these
precautions are not taken.
• Never reach for the engine start/
stop button or any other controls
through the steering wheel whilst
the vehicle is in motion. The pres-
ence of your hand or arm in the
area could cause loss of vehicle
control, an accident and serious
bodily injury or death.
• Do not place any movable objects
around the driver's seat as they
may move whilst driving, inter-
fere with the driver and lead to an
accident.

the vehicle.
2. Make sure the parking brake is firmly
applied.
3.Manual Transaxle- Depress the
clutch pedal fully and shift the
transaxle into Neutral. Keep the clutch
pedal and brake pedal depressed
whilst starting the engine.
Automatic Transaxle/Continuously

5. Do not wait for the engine to warm up
whilst the vehicle remains stationary.
Start driving at moderate engine
speeds. (Steep accelerating and decel-
erating should be avoided.)
Starting the diesel engine
(if equipped)
To start the diesel engine when the
engine is cold, it has to be pre-heated
before starting the engine and then have
to be warmed up before starting to drive.

WARNING
• Always wear appropriate shoes
when operating your vehicle.
Unsuitable shoes (high heels, ski
boots, sandals, etc.) may inter-
fere with your ability to use the
brake and accelerator pedals and
the clutch pedal (if equipped).
• Do not start the vehicle with the
accelerator pedal depressed. The
vehicle can move and lead to an
accident.
• Wait until the engine rpm is nor-
mal. The vehicle may suddenly
move if the brake pedal is
released when the rpm is high.
WARNING
People with medical devices such
as implanted pacemakers or car-
diac defibrillators should not carry
the smart key near their heart. The
smart key system may affect the
operation of such implanted med-
ical devices. Failure to do so may
result in interference with the med-
ical device, which could result in
serious injury.

forward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected auto-
matically in the D (Drive) position.

Driving your vehicle
• The Dual Clutch Transmission gives
the driving feel of a manual transmis-
sion, yet provides the ease of a fully
automatic transmission. Unlike a tradi-
tional automatic transmission, the gear
shifting can be felt (and heard) on the
dual clutch transmission
- Think of it as an automatically shifting
manual transmission.
- Shift into Drive range and get fully
automatic shifting, similar to a con-
ventional automatic transmission.
• Dual clutch transmission adopts dry-
type dual clutch, which is different from
torque converter of automatic trans-
mission, and shows better acceleration
performance during driving. But, initial
launch might be little bit slower than
Automatic Transmission.
• The dry-type clutch transfers torque
and provides a direct driving feeling
which may feel different from a con-
ventional automatic transmission with
a torque converter. This may be more
noticeable when starting from a stop or
low vehicle speed.
• When rapidly accelerating at low vehi-
cle speed, engine could rev at high
rpm depending on vehicle drive condi-
tion.• For smooth launch uphill, press down
the accelerator pedal smoothly
depending on the current conditions.
• If you release your foot from the accel-
erator pedal at low vehicle speed, you
may feel strong engine brake, which is
similar to manual transmission.
• When driving downhill, you may use
Sports Mode and press the paddle
shifters to downshift to a lower gear in
order to control your speed without
using the brake pedal excessively.
• When you turn the engine on and off,
you may hear clicking sounds as the
system goes through a self test. This is
a normal sound for the Dual Clutch
Transmission.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death:
• ALWAYS check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for peo-
ple, especially children, before
shifting a vehicle into D (Drive) or
R (Reverse).
• Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always make sure the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position, then
set the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position. Unexpected
and sudden vehicle movement
can occur if these precautions
are not followed.
• Do not use engine braking (shift-
ing from a high gear to lower
gear) rapidly on slippery roads.
The vehicle may slip causing an
accident.

CAUTION
• To hold the vehicle on a hill use
the foot brake or the parking
brake. If the vehicle is held by
applying the accelerator pedal on
a hill the clutch and transmission
will be overheated resulting in
damage.
At this time, a warning message
will appear on the LCD display
and you may feel a vibration.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• If the clutch becomes overheated
by excessive use of the clutch to
hold on a hill, you may notice a
shudder feeling and a blinking
display on the instrument cluster.
When this occurs, the clutch is
disabled until the clutch cools to
normal temperatures. If this
occurs, pull over to a safe loca-
tion, shift into P (Park) and apply
the foot brake for a few minutes.
• If the LCD warning is active, the
foot brake must be applied.
• Ignoring the warnings can lead to
damage to the transmission.
• If the display continues to blink,
for your safety, we recommend
that you contact an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
• Under certain conditions such as
repeated launch on steep grades,
the clutch in the transmission
could overheat. When the clutch
is overheated, the safe protection
mode engages. If the safe protec-
tion mode engages, the gear posi-
tion indicator on the cluster
blinks with a chime sound. At this
time, a warning message will
appear on the LCD display and
driving may not be smooth.
If you ignore this warning, the
driving condition may become
worse. To return the normal driv-
ing condition, stop the vehicle
and apply the foot brake for a few
minutes before driving off.

Driving your vehicle
The indicator in the instrument cluster
displays the shift lever position when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into P (Park).
To shift from P (Park), you must depress
firmly on the brake pedal and make sure
your foot is off the accelerator pedal.
The shift lever must be in P (Park) before
turning the engine off.R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.(Continued)
• Gear shifts may be more notice-
able than a conventional automat-
ic transmission. This is a normal
characteristic of this type of dual
clutch transmission.
• During the first 1,500 km (1,000
miles), you may feel that the vehi-
cle may not be smooth when
accelerating at low speed. During
this run-in period, the shift quality
and performance of your new
vehicle is continuously opti-
mised.
• Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive) or R
(Reverse).
WARNING
• Shifting into P (Park) whilst the
vehicle is in motion may cause
you to lose control of the vehicle.
• After the vehicle has stopped,
always make sure the shift lever
is in P (Park), apply the parking
brake, and turn the engine off.
• Do not use the P (Park) position
in place of the parking brake.
CAUTION
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of R
(Reverse); you may damage the
transmission if you shift into R
(Reverse) whilst the vehicle is in
motion.
