Manual transmission operation
The manual transmission has 6 for-
ward gears.
This shift pattern is imprinted on the
shift knob. The transmission is fully
synchronized in all forward gears so
shifting to either a higher or a lower
gear is easily accomplished.
Press the clutch pedal down fully
while shifting, then release it slowly.
If your vehicle is equipped with an
ignition lock switch, the engine will
not start when starting the engine
without depressing the clutch pedal.
(if equipped)The gearshift lever must be returned
to the neutral position before shifting
into R (Reverse).
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into R
(Reverse).
Never operate the engine with the
tachometer (RPM) in the red zone.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
When downshifting from fifth
gear to fourth gear, caution
should be taken not to inad-
vertently press the gear shift
lever sideways in such a man-
ner that second gear is
engaged. Such a drastic
downshift may cause the
engine speed to increase to
the point that the tachometer
will enter the red-zone. Such
over-revving of the engine
may possibly cause engine
damage.
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 downshifting
may damage the engine,
clutch and the transmission.
When shifting into 5th or 6th
gear, press the shift lever to
the right. Otherwise, the
engine could be damaged by
accidentally engaging 3rd or
4th gear.

Shifting to R (Reverse)
This manual transmission is
designed with a detent to differenti-
ate 1st and R (Reverse) gear. To
shift into reverse, you must shift past
1st gear and the detent in order to
get into the R (Reverse) gear gate.

side of the 1st gear.
After the vehicle is stoped, push the
shift lever to the left side of the 1st
gear past the detent then push the
shift lever upward. The warning
chime operates once.
Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy
traffic or while driving up steep hills,
downshift 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 vehi-
cle is traveling down steep hills,
downshifting helps maintain safe
speed and prolongs brake life.
This vehicle is geared for improved
fuel economy and may need to be
driven in a lower gear when driving
up hills or into high winds. Using top
gear is best for fuel economy, but you
should use the best gear for the road
conditions.CAUTION
If you try to shift to the 1st
gear too quickly, 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 the warning chime does not
operate when you shift to R
(Reverse), contact an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
Before driving you should
learn how to shift to R
(Reverse), to 1st gear or 2nd
gear.
Shift to R only when the vehi-
cle is stationary. When the
shift lever is pressed to the
left, a slight resistance has to
be overcome.
