NOTICE
• While using the air conditioning sys-
tem, monitor the engine temperature
gauge closely while driving up hills or
in heavy traffic when outside temper-
atures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine over-
heating. Continue to use the blower
fan but turn the air conditioning sys-
tem off if the engine temperature
gauge indicates engine overheating.
• Opening the windows in humid
weather while air conditioning oper-
ates may create water droplets inside
the vehicle. Since excessive water
droplets may cause damage to electri-
cal equipment, air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed.
Air conditioning system operation tips
If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows for a short time to let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
To help reduce moisture inside of the
windows on rainy or humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the vehi-
cle by operating the air conditioning
system.
During air conditioning system opera-
tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
Use the air conditioning system every
month for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehi-
cle. This is a normal system operation
characteristic. Operating the air conditioning system
in the recirculated air position provides
maximum cooling, however, continual
operation in this mode may cause the
air inside the vehicle to become stale.
During cooling operation, you may
occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and humid air
intake. This is a normal system opera-
tion characteristic.
If you operate air conditioner exces-
sively, the difference between the tem-
perature of the outside air and that of
the windshield could cause the outer
surface of the windshield to fog up,
causing loss of visibility. In this case,
set the mode selection knob or button
to the position and fan speed con-
trol to the lower speed.

Features of your vehicle
Auto defogging system
(Only for automatic climate control
system, if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the possibility of
fogging up the inside of the windshield by
automatically sensing the moisture of
inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the AUTO mode is on.This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses the moisture
of inside the windshield and
operates.
If more moisture is in the vehicle, higher
steps operate as follow.
Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 : Blowing air flow toward the wind-
shield
Step 3 : Increasing air flow toward the
windshield
Step 4 : Operating the air conditioning
If your vehicle is equipped with the auto
defogging system, it is automatically acti-
vated when the conditions are met.
However, if you would like to cancel the
auto defogging system, press the front
defroster button 4 times within 2 seconds
while pressing the AUTO button. The
indicator will blink 3 times to notify you
that the system is cancelled. To use the
auto defogging system again, follow the
procedures mentioned above.
If the battery has been disconnected or
discharged, it resets to the auto defog-
ging status.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If the A/C off is manually selected while
the auto defogging system is on, the auto
defogging indicator will blink 3 times to
give notice that the A/C off can not be
selected.

Driving your vehicle
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• The EcoShift dual clutch transmission
gives the driving feel of a Manual
Transmission, yet provides the ease of
a fully Automatic Transmission.
Unlike a traditional Automatic
Transmission, the gear shifting can be
felt (and heard) on the EcoShift dual
clutch transmission
- Think of it as an automatically shift-
ing Manual Transmission.
- Shift into Drive and you get fully
automatic shifting similar to a con-
ventional Automatic Transmission.
• The Dry-type clutch transfers driving
torque and also delivers direct driving
feel which feels differently than a con-
ventional Automatic Transmission
with slip of torque converter. This
might be easily felt especially at
launch & low vehicle speed.
(Continued)(Continued)
• If you release your foot from the accel-
erator pedal at low vehicle speed, you
may feel strong engine braking, which
is similar to manual transmission.
• If you want to slow down while driv-
ing downhill, you may use sport mode
or paddle shift to downshift, and also
use foot brake properly depending on
driving conditions to get enough
deceleration.
• When you turn the ignition on and off,
you may hear clicking sounds as the
transmission solenoids turn on and
off, cycling through a self test. This is
a normal sound for the dual clutch
transmission.
For smooth operation, depress the brake
pedal when shifting from N (Neutral) to a
forward or reverse gear.
WARNING
Always check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for peo-
ple, especially children, before
shifting a car 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 fully and shut
the engine off. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement can
occur if these precautions are not
followed in the order identified.
CAUTION
To prevent clutch damage, the
clutch is released and the torque
flow is interrupted. If the clutch is
released, apply the foot brake,
shift into Park and wait several
seconds before driving again.
Ignoring the warnings can lead to
damage to the transmission.

Driving your vehicle
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transaxle are not locked.
The vehicle will roll freely even on the
slightest incline unless the parking brake
or service brakes are applied.
D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving posi-
tion. The transaxle will automatically shift
through a 6-gear sequence, providing the
best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or climbing grades, depress the
accelerator fully, at which time the
transaxle will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear.Sports mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, sports mode is selected by push-
ing the shift lever from the D (Drive) posi-
tion into the manual gate. To return to D
(Drive) range operation, push the shift
lever back into the main gate.
In sports mode, moving the shift lever
backwards and forwards will allow you to
make gearshifts.
Up (+) : Push the lever forward once to
shift up one gear.
Down (-) : Pull the lever backwards once
to shift down one gear.DS mode (Drive Sporty) - EcoShift
dual clutch
transmission
DS mode supports the performance
mode for the driver. To shift into DS
mode, shift the transaxle to DS mode. If
you shift [+] or [–] gear, the mode is
change to sports mode. The transmission
shift is automatically changed at higher
engine speeds by engine load, your driv-
ing style, vehicle, and condition.
In DS mode, while coasting downhill,
engine braking is not supported.
In DS mode, if you control the paddle
shifter, the gear will be changed to sports
mode. If the gear is changed to D (Drive),
the gear will be changed to D (Drive)
mode.
✽ ✽
NOTICE- EcoShift dual clutch
transmission
While stopping the vehicle by applying
parking brake in D gear, even if you
release the parking brake, the vehicle
may not move. In this case, you can
drive the vehicle by applying the foot
brake and release, applying the acceler-
ator or shifting the lever (D → →

N → →

D).
CAUTION
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of
Reverse (R) or Drive (D) to prevent
damage to the transaxle, except as
explained in “Rocking the vehicle”
in this section.
