Manual transmission opera- tion
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 lowergear is easily accomplished.
Press the clutch pedal down fully
while shifting, then release it slowly.If your vehicle is equipped with an
ignition lock system, the engine will
not start when starting the enginewithout depressing the clutch pedal.
The gearshift lever must be returned
to the neutral position before shifting
into R (Reverse). The ring located
immediately below the shift knob
must be pulled upward while moving
the shift lever to the R position. (TypeA)
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into R(Reverse).
Never operate the engine with thetachometer (rpm) in the red zone.

The ring (1) must be pulled up while
moving the shift lever.
The shift lever can be moved without
pulling the ring (1).
When downshifting from fifth
gear to fourth gear, cautionshould 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 theengine 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.
When upshifting from fifth
gear to sixth gear, cautionshould be taken not to inad-
vertently press the gear shift
lever sideways in such a man-
ner that fourth gear is
engaged. Such a drastic
downshift may cause theengine speed to increase to
the point that the tachometer
will enter the red-zone.

5 During cold weather, shifting maybe difficult until the transmission
lubricant has warmed up. This is
normal and not harmful to the
transmission.
If you've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1st or R
(Reverse), put the shift lever in N
(Neutral) position and release the
clutch. Press the clutch pedal back
down, and then shift into 1st or R
(Reverse) gear position.
To avoid premature clutch
wear and damage, do not
drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal. Also, don’t
use the clutch to hold the
vehicle stopped on an uphill
grade, while waiting for a traf-
fic light, etc.
Do not use the shift lever as a
handrest during driving, asthis can result in prematurewear of the transmission shift
forks.
When operating the clutch
pedal, press the clutch pedal
down fully. If you don’t press
the clutch pedal fully, the
clutch may be damaged or
noise may occur.
To prevent possible damage
to the clutch system, do not
start with the 2nd (second)
gear engaged except when
you start on a slippery road.
CAUTION
Before leaving the driver’s
seat, always set the parking
brake fully and shut the
engine off. Then make surethe transmission is shifted
into 1st gear when the vehicle
is parked on a level or uphill
grade, and shifted into R
(Reverse) on a downhill
grade. Unexpected and sud-
den vehicle movement canoccur if these precautions are
not followed in the order iden-tified.
If your vehicle has a manual transmission not equipped
with an ignition lock switch, it
may move and cause a seri-
ous accident when startingthe engine without depress-
ing the clutch pedal while theparking brake is released and
the shift lever not in theN(Neutral) position.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)Such over-revving of the
engine may possibly cause
engine damage.
Do not downshift more than 2
gears or downshift the gearwhen the engine is running athigh speed (5,000 RPM or
higher). Such a downshifting
may damage the engine,
clutch and the transmission.

The ABS continuously senses the
speed of the wheels. If the wheels
are going to lock, the ABS system
repeatedly modulates the hydraulic
brake pressure to the wheels.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear a “tik-tik’’
sound from the brakes, or feel a cor-
responding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means
your ABS is active.
In order to obtain the maximum ben-
efit from your ABS in an emergencysituation, do not attempt to modulate
your brake pressure and do not try to
pump your brakes. Press your brake
pedal as hard as possible or as hard
as the situation warrants and allow
the ABS to control the force being
delivered to the brakes.A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the
vehicle begins to move after the
engine is started. These condi-tions are normal and indicate that
the anti-lock brake system is func-
tioning properly.
Even with the anti-lock brake sys-
tem, your vehicle still requires suf-
ficient stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you.
Always slow down when cornering. The anti-lock brake system cannot
prevent accidents resulting from
excessive speeds.
On loose or uneven road surfaces, operation of the anti-lock brake
system may result in a longer stop-
ping distance than for vehicles
equipped with a conventional
brake system.NOTICE(Continued)
Rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
With tire chains installed.
On roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has differentsurface height.
The safety features of an ABS
(or VDC) equipped vehicle
should not be tested by high
speed driving or cornering. This
could endanger the safety of
yourself or others.

When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
engine may not run as smoothly
and the ABS warning light may
turn on at the same time. This hap-
pens because of the low battery
voltage. It does not mean yourABS is malfunctioning.
Do not pump your brakes!
Have the battery rechargedbefore driving the vehicle.
NOTICE
W-78
If the ABS warning light is on
and stays on, you may have a
problem with the ABS. In this
case, however, your regular
brakes will work normally.
The ABS warning light will
stay on for approximately 3seconds after the ignition
switch is ON. During that time,
the ABS will go through self-
diagnosis and the light will go
off if everything is normal.
(Continued)
CAUTION
When you drive on a road hav-
ing poor traction, such as an
icy road, and operate your
brakes continuously, the ABS
will be active continuouslyand the ABS warning light
may illuminate. Pull your vehi-
cle over to a safe place and
stop the engine.
Restart the engine. If the ABS
warning light is off, then yourABS system is normal.
Otherwise, you may have a
problem with the ABS. We rec-
ommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
(Continued)
If the light stays on, you may
have a problem with your
ABS. We recommend that you
contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

VDC OFF usage
When Driving
The VDC OFF mode should only be
used briefly to help free the vehicle if
stuck in snow or mud by temporarily
stopping operation of the VDC to
maintain wheel torque.
To turn VDC off while driving, press
the VDC OFF button while driving on
a flat road surface.To prevent damage to thetransaxle:
Do not allow wheel(s) of one
axle to spin excessively while
the VDC, ABS, and brake warn-
ing lights are displayed. The
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Reduce
engine power and do not spin
the wheel(s) excessively while
these lights are displayed.
When operating the vehicle on a dynamometer, ensure the VDC isturned off (VDC OFF light illumi-nated).
Information
Turning the VDC off does not affect
ABS or standard brake system opera-
tion.
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) (if equipped)
The Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
prevents the vehicle from rolling
backwards when starting a vehicle
from a stop on a hill. The system
operates the brakes automatically for
approximately 2 seconds and releas-
es the brake when the acceleratorpedal is depressed or after 2 sec-
onds.
i
NOTICE
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting
off on an incline. The HAC acti-
vates only for approximately 2seconds.

Good braking practices Wet brakes can be dangerous! The
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is
driven through standing water or if it
is washed. Your vehicle will not stop
as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet
brakes may cause the vehicle to pull
to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns
to normal, taking care to keep the
vehicle under control at all times. If
the braking action does not return to
normal, stop as soon as it is safe to
do so and we recommend that you
call an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
for assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, butconstant pedal pressure can result in
the brakes overheating, brake wear,
and possibly even brake failure.If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing, apply the brakes gently and
keep the vehicle pointed straight
ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it
to be safe to do so, pull off the road
and stop in a safe location.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake
pedal when the vehicle is stopped to
prevent the vehicle from rolling for-
ward.
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a com-
plete stop and continue to
depress the brake pedal. Move
the shift lever into the P (Park)
position, then apply the parking
brake, and place the Engine
Start/Stop button in the OFFposition.
Vehicles with the parking brake
not fully engaged are at risk for
moving inadvertently and caus-
ing injury to yourself or others.

engine is restarted again. To turn
off the system, press the active
ECO button again.
If Active ECO is turned off, it will return to the ECO mode.
When Active ECO is activated:
Vehicle speed may drop.
When driving up a hill, you mayfeel the engine torque change.
Limitation of Active ECO oper- ation :
If the following conditions occur while
Active ECO is operating, the system
operation is limited even thoughthere is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
When the coolant temperature islow:The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
the engine torque is restricted. This is the switch of the PTO (Power
Take Off) which takes off the power
from the transmission.To activate the P.T.O. system
1.Stop the vehicle. Then, apply the
parking brake.
2.Depress the clutch pedal to dis- connect the power. Wait for 2 to 3
seconds. Press ON the P.T.O.
switch. Then, slowly take your footoff the clutch pedal.
3.Make sure that the P.T.O indicator illuminates on the cluster.
To deactivate the P.T.O. sys- tem

Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many kilometers (miles) you can get
from a liter (gallon) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as pos-
sible, use the following driving sug-
gestions to help save money in bothfuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate. Don't make "jack-
rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts
and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed to
the traffic so you don't have to
change speeds unnecessarily.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway,
is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption. Don't "ride" the brake or clutch
pedal. This can increase fuel con-
sumption and also increase wear
on these components. In addition,
driving with your foot resting on the
brake pedal may cause the brakes
to overheat, which reduces their
effectiveness and may lead to
more serious consequences.
Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tire wear. Check the tirepressures at least once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper align-ment can result from hitting curbs
or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes
faster tire wear and may also result
in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption.
When the power is still con-
nected, activating the P.T.O.
system may incur deadly dam-
age to the gear.
The P.T.O. system should be
activated within the permissi-
ble toque.
- Activation of the P.T.O., goingbeyond the permissible maxi-
mum toque, may incur deadly
damage to the P.T.O. gear andtransmission.
Before activating the P.T.O.
system, depress the clutch
pedal, when the P.T.O switch is
pressed OFF. (For the manualtransmission.)
- The P.T.O. gear may be dam-aged and become uncontrol-
lable.
