Manual Transmission
Operation
The manual transmission has 6 forward
gears. The transmission is fully synchro-
nized in all forward gears so shifting to
either a higher or a lower gear is easily
accomplished.
To shift to R (Reverse), make sure the
vehicle has completely stopped, and
then move the shift lever to neutral before
moving into R (Reverse).When you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1st gear or R
(Reverse):
1. Put the shift lever in neutral and
release the clutch pedal.
2. Depress the clutch pedal, and then shift into 1 (first) or R (Reverse) gear.
During cold weather, shifting may be
difficult until the transmission lubri-
cant has warmed up.
Using the clutch
The clutch pedal should be depressed all
the way before:
- Starting the engine The engine will not start without
depressing the clutch pedal.
- Shifting into gear, up shifting to the next higher gear, or down shifting to
the next lower gear.
When releasing the clutch pedal, release
it slowly. The clutch pedal should always
be fully released while driving.

Automatic Transmission Operation
The automatic transmission has six forward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected automatically in the D (Drive) position. To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death:
ALWAYS check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for peo-
ple, especially children, before
shifting a vehicle 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, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/
OFF position. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement can
occur if these precautions are not
followed.
When using Manual Shift Mode,
do not use aggressive engine
braking (shifting from a higher
gear to a lower gear) on slippery
roads. This could cause the tires
to slip and may result in an acci-
dent.
WARNING

Transmission ranges
The indicator in the instrument cluster
displays the shift lever position when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into P (Park).
To shift from P (Park), you must depress
firmly on the brake pedal and make sure
your foot is off the accelerator pedal.
If you have done all of the above and still
cannot shift the lever out of P (Park), see
"Shift-Lock Release" in this section.
The shift lever must be in P (Park) before
turning the engine off.
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not
engaged.
Use N (Neutral) if you need to restart a
stalled engine. Shift into P (Park) if you
need to leave your vehicle for any rea-
son.
Always depress the brake pedal when
you are shifting from N (Neutral) to
another gear.
Shifting into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion may cause
you to lose control of the vehicle.
After the vehicle has stopped,
always make sure the shift lever
is in P (Park), apply the parking
brake, and turn the engine off.
When parking on an incline, block
the wheels to prevent the vehicle
from rolling down.
Do not use the P (Park) position
in place of the parking brake.
WARNING
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of R
(Reverse); you may damage the
transmission if you shift into R
(Reverse) while the vehicle is in
motion.
CAUTION

(Continued)
• When driving in Manual Shift Mode,slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may not
be engaged if the engine rpms are out-
side of the allowable range.
Shift-lock system
For your safety, the automatic transmis-
sion has a shift-lock system which pre-
vents shifting the transmission from P
(Park) into R (Reverse) unless the brake
pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P (Park)
into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or place the ignition 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
depressing the brake, and then do the fol-
lowing:
1. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Carefully remove the cap (1) covering the shift-lock release access hole.
4. Insert a tool (e.g. flathead screwdriver) into the access hole and press down
on the tool.
5. Move the shift lever.
6. Remove the tool from the shift-lock override access hole then install the
cap. If you need to use the shift-lock release,
have your vehicle inspected by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer immediately.
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.
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 compo-
nents.
Do not stop or park over flamma-
ble materials, such as dry grass,
paper or leaves. They may ignite
and cause a fire.

The dry-type clutch transfers torquemore directly and provides a direct-
drive feeling which may feel different
from a conventional automatic trans-
mission. This may be more noticeable
when launching the vehicle from a stop
or when traveling at low, stop-and-go
vehicle speeds.
When rapidly accelerating from a lower vehicle speed, the engine rpm may
increase dramatically as a result of
clutch slip as the dual clutch transmis-
sion selects the correct gear. This is a
normal condition.
When accelerating from a stop on an incline, press the accelerator smoothly
and gradually to avoid any shudder
feeling or jerkiness.
When traveling at a lower vehicle speed, if you release the accelerator
pedal quickly, you may feel engine
braking before the transmission
changes gears. This engine braking
feeling is similar to operating a manual
transmission at low speed.
When driving downhill, you may wish to move the gear shift lever to Manual
Shift mode and downshift to a lower
gear in order to control your speed
without using the brake pedal exces-
sively. When you turn the engine on and off,
you may hear clicking sounds as the
system goes through a self-test. This is
a normal sound for the dual clutch
transmission.
During the first 1000 miles, you may feel that the vehicle may not be smooth
when accelerating at low speed.
During this break-in period, the shift
quality and performance of your new
vehicle is continuously optimized. Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive) or R
(Reverse).
Do not put the shift lever in N (Neutral) while driving.
NOTICE
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death:
ALWAYS check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for peo-
ple, especially children, before
shifting a vehicle 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, and place
the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position. Unexpected
and sudden vehicle movement
can occur if these precautions
are not followed.

WARNING
(Continued)
Do not use aggressive engine
braking (shifting from a higher
gear to a lower gear) on slippery
roads. This could cause the tires
to slip and may result in an acci-
dent.
Due to transmission failure, you
may not continue to drive and the
position indicator (D, R) on the
cluster will blink. Contact an
authorized hyundai dealer and have
the system checked.
