ALWAYS use the Floor Mat Anchors
to attach the front floor mats to the
vehicle. The anchors on the front
floor carpet keep the floor mats from
sliding forward.
Luggage net holder
(if equipped)
To keep items from shifting in the lug-
gage compartment, you can use the 4
holders located in the luggage com-
partment (under the floor panel) to
attach the luggage net.
Make sure the luggage net is secure-
ly attached to the holders in the lug-
gage compartment.
If necessary, we recommend that
you contact an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer to obtain a luggage net.
WARNING
The following must be observed
when installing ANY floor mat
to the vehicle.
• Ensure that the floor mats are
securely attached to the vehi-
cle's floor mat anchor(s)
before driving the vehicle.
• Do not use ANY floor mat that
cannot be firmly attached to
the vehicle's floor mat anchors.
• Do not stack floor mats on top
of one another (e.g. all-weath-
er rubber mat on top of a car-
peted floor mat). Only a single
floor mat should be installed
in each position.
IMPORTANT - Your vehicle was
manufactured with driver's side
floor mat anchors that are
designed to securely hold the
floor mat in place. To avoid any
interference with pedal operation,
HYUNDAI recommends that the
HYUNDAI floor mat designed for
use in your vehicle be installed.

Driving your vehicle
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the fol-
lowing precautions:
• ALWAYS wear your seat belt.
All passengers must be prop-
erly restrained whenever the
vehicle is moving. For more
information, refer to “Seat
Belts” in chapter 3.
• Always drive defensively.
Assume other drivers or
pedestrians may be careless

Driving your vehicle
✽NOTICE
• Only the six forward gears can be
selected. To reverse or park the
vehicle, move the shift lever to the
R (Reverse) or P (Park) position as
required.
• Downshifts are made automatical-
ly when the vehicle slows down.
When the vehicle stops, 1st gear is
automatically selected.
• When the engine rpm approaches
the red zone the transaxle will
upshift automatically.
• If the driver presses the lever to
the + (Up) or - (Down) position,
the transaxle may not make the
requested gear change if the next
gear is outside of the allowable
engine rpm range. The driver
must execute upshifts in accor-
dance with road conditions, taking
care to keep the engine rpms
below the red zone.
• When driving on a slippery road,
push the shift lever forward into
the + (Up) position. This causes
the transaxle to shift into the 2nd
gear which is better for smooth
driving on a slippery road. Push
the shift lever to the - (Down) side
to shift back to the 1st gear.
Shift-lock system
For your safety, the automatic
transaxle has a shift-lock system
which prevents shifting the transaxle
from P (Park) into R (Reverse)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transaxle from P (Park)
into R (Reverse):
1.Press and hold the brake pedal.
2.Start the engine or place the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
3.Move the shift lever.
Shift-lock release
If the shift lever cannot be moved
from the P (Park) position into R
(Reverse) position with the brake
pedal depressed, continue pressing
the brake, and then do the following:1.Place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
2.Apply the parking brake.
3.Push the shift-lock release button.
4.Move the shift lever whilst pushing
the shift-lock release button.
5.Stop pushing the shift-lock release
button.
6.Press the brake pedal, and then
restart the engine.
If you need to use the shift-lock
release, we recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer immediately.
