displayed indicator may differ
from the above illustration.
Do not wash the vehicle's sen-
sor with high pressure water.
When you shift into the R
(Reverse) position and one or
more of the below situation
occurs, this may indicate a mal-
function with the parking assist

ing sound or the buzzer sounds
intermittently.
If this occurs, we recommend
that the system be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the fol-
lowing precautions:
NEVER allow children or any
person who is unfamiliar with
the vehicle to touch the igni-
tion switch or related parts.
Unexpected and sudden vehi-
cle movement can occur.
NEVER reach through the
steering wheel for the ignition
switch, or any other control,
while the vehicle is in motion.
The presence of your hand or
arm in this area may cause a
loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident.
WARNING
NEVER turn the ignition
switch to the LOCK or ACC
position while the vehicle is in
motion except in an emer-
gency. This will result in the
engine turning off and loss of
power assist for the steering
and brake systems.
(Continued)
(Continued)
This may lead to loss of direc-
tional control and braking
function, which could cause
an accident.
Before leaving the driver’s
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in 1st gear (for
manual transaxle vehicle) or P
(Park, for automatic transaxle
vehicle) position, apply the
parking brake, and turn igni-
tion switch to the LOCK posi-
tion.
Unexpected vehicle move-
ment may occur if these pre-
cautions are not followed.

Starting the engine Information
• The engine will start by pressing the
Engine Start/Stop button, only when
the smart key is in the vehicle.
• Even if the smart key is in the vehi-
cle, if it is far away from the driver,
the engine may not start.
• When the Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ACC or ON position, if any
door is open, the system checks for
the smart key. If the smart key is not
in the vehicle, the " " and "KEY
OUT" indicator will blink, and the
warning "Key not in vehicle" will
come on, and if all doors are closed,
the chime will also sound for about 5
seconds. Keep the smart key in the
vehicle when in the ACC position or
if the vehicle engine is ON.
Starting the gasoline engine
Vehicle with manual transaxle:
1. Always carry the smart key with
you.
2. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
3. Make sure the shift lever is in neu-
tral.
4. Depress the clutch and brake ped-
als.
5. Press the Engine Start/Stop but-
ton.i
Always wear appropriate
shoes when operating your
vehicle. Unsuitable shoes,
such as high heels, ski boots,
sandals, flip-flops, etc., may
interfere with your ability to
use the brake, accelerator and
clutch pedals.
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
normal. The vehicle may sud-
denly move if the brake pedal
is released when the rpm is
high.

(Continued)
• If the driver presses the lever to
+ (Up) or - (Down) position, the
transaxle may not make the request-
ed gear change if the next gear is
outside of the allowable engine rpm
range. The driver must execute
upshifts in accordance with road
conditions, taking care to keep the
engine rpms below the red zone.
• When accelerating from a stop on a
slippery road, push the shift lever
forward into the + (Up) position.
This allows 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. Depress 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 depress-
ing the brake, and then do the follow-
ing:1. Press the shift-lock release but-
ton.
2. Press and hold the lock release
button on the shift lever.
3. Move the shift lever.
4. Have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
immediately

Driving your vehicle
Parking
Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal.
Move the shift lever into the P (Park)
position, apply the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position. Take the Key
with you when exiting the vehicle.
Good driving practices
Never move the shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
Never move the shift lever into P
(Park) when the vehicle is in
motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
Do not move the shift lever to N
(Neutral) when driving. Doing so
may result in an accident because
of a loss of engine braking and the
transaxle could be damaged.
Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure.
Depressing both accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time can
trigger logic for engine power
reduction to assure vehicle decel-
eration. Vehicle acceleration will
resume after the brake pedal is
released.
When you stay in the vehicle
with the engine running, be
careful not to depress the
accelerator pedal for a long
period of time. The engine or
exhaust system may overheat
and start a fire.
The exhaust gas and the
exhaust system are very hot.
Keep away from the exhaust
system components.
Do not stop or park over flam-
mable materials, such as dry
grass, paper or leaves. They
may ignite and cause a fire.

WARNING
(Continued)
Be cautious when parking on
a hill. Firmly engage the park-
ing brake and place the shift
lever in P (automatic
transaxle) or in first or reverse
gear (manual transaxle). If
your vehicle is facing down-
hill, turn the front wheels into
the curb to help keep the vehi-
cle from rolling. If your vehicle
is facing uphill, turn the front
wheels away from the curb to
help keep the vehicle from
rolling. If there is no curb or if
it is required by other condi-
tions to keep the vehicle from
rolling, block the wheels.

Driving your vehicle
To release:
Firmly depress the brake pedal.
Slightly pull up the parking brake
lever.
While pressing the release button
(1), lower the parking brake (2).If the parking brake does not release
or does not release all the way, we
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer. To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, do not oper-
ate the parking brake while the
vehicle is moving except in an
emergency situation. It could
damage the brake system and
lead to an accident.
