Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING- Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus-
ing injury to the vehicle occupants.
Do not place objects in the rear
seats, since they cannot be proper-
ly secured and may hit the front
seat occupants in a collision.
WARNING - Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transmission is in P
(Park) or the manual transmission
is in R (Reverse) or 1st, and the
parking brake is securely applied
whenever loading or unloading
cargo. Failure to take these steps
may allow the vehicle to move if the
shift lever is inadvertently moved to
another position.
OUN026140
WARNING
The head restraint on the seat
(especially the last row seat)
should be adjusted so the middle of
the head restraint is at the same
height as the top of the occupant's
eyes.
If the tailgate is pushed down to
close when a passenger's head is
not against a properly adjusted
head restraint or a tall person is
seated, the tailgate may hit the
occupant's head, which could
cause injury.

deeper and harder than usual in braking.
We recommend that the system be serv-
iced by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.Shift pattern indicator

when operating your vehicle.
Unsuitable shoes (high heels, ski
boots,etc.) may interfere with
your ability to use the brake and
accelerator pedal, and the clutch
(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 padel is
released when the rpm is high.
CAUTION
If the engine stalls whilst you are in
motion, do not attempt to move the
shift lever to the P (Park) position. If

you may put the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position whilst the vehicle
is still moving and turn the ignition
switch to the START position in an
attempt to restart the engine.

5 to 10 seconds before re-engag-
ing the starter. Improper use of
the starter may damage it.

the START position with the
engine running. It may damage
the starter.

applied.
2.Manual Transmission- Depress the
clutch pedal fully and shift the trans-
mission into Neutral. Keep the clutch
pedal and brake pedal depressed
whilst turning the ignition switch to the

then release the key.
✽ NOTICE
If the engine were not started within 10
seconds after the preheating is complet-
ed, turn the ignition switch once more to
the LOCK position during 10 seconds,
and then to the ON position, in order to
preheat again.
✽ NOTICE - Diesel Engine

MANUAL TRANSMISSION (IF EQUIPPED)
Manual transmission operation
The manual transmission has 5 (or 6, if
equipped) forward gears.
This shift pattern is imprinted on the shift
knob. The transmission is fully synchro-
nised in all forward gears so shifting to
either a higher or a lower gear is easily
accomplished.
Press the clutch pedal down fully whilst
shifting, then release it slowly.
If your vehicle is equipped with an igni-
tion 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.
CAUTION
• When downshifting from fifth
gear to fourth gear, caution
should be taken not to inadver-
tently press the gear shift lever
sideways in such a manner 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 possi-
bly 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 a downshifting may damage
the engine, clutch and the trans-
mission.
OTQ057004/OCM050003
The ring (1) must be pulled up whilst
moving the shift lever. The shift lever can be moved without
pulling the ring (1).
