WARNING

5-20
When driving downhill, you mayuse Manual shift mode and press
the paddle shifters (except 1.6 T-
GDI engine) to downshift to a lower
gear in order to control your speed
without using the brake pedal
excessively.
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
Ecoshift dual clutch transmission.
To hold the vehicle on a hill usethe foot brake or the parking
brake. If the vehicle is held by
applying the accelerator pedal
on a hill the clutch and trans-
mission will be overheated
resulting in damage.
At this time, a warning message
will appear on the LCD display
and you may feel a vibration.
(Continued)(Continued)
If the clutch becomes overheat-
ed by excessive use of the
clutch to hold on a hill, you may
notice a shudder feeling and a
blinking display on the instru-
ment cluster. When this occurs,
the clutch is disabled until the
clutch cools to normal tempera-
tures. If this occurs, pull over to
a safe location, shift into P
(Park) and apply the foot brake
for a few minutes.
If the LCD warning is active, the foot brake must be applied.
Ignoring the warnings can lead to damage to the transmission.
If the display continues to blink, for your safety, contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked.
(Continued)NOTICE
Driving your vehicle

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.
WARNING

5-21
Driving your vehicle
(Continued)
Under certain conditions suchas repeated launch on steep
grades, the clutch in the trans-
mission could overheat. When
the clutch is overheated, the
safe protection mode engages. If
the safe protection mode
engages, the gear position indi-
cator on the cluster blinks with a
chime sound. At this time, a
warning message will appear on
the LCD display and driving may
not be smooth.
(Continued)(Continued)
If you ignore this warning, the
driving condition may become
worse. To return the normal driv-
ing condition, stop the vehicle
and apply the foot brake for a
few minutes before driving off.
Repetitive kick downs may lead to overheating of the transmis-
sion. This will lead to change in
the vehicle speed shift pattern,
and illuminate some warning
message.
To return the normal driving
condition, refrain from kick
down speed changes. When the
warning message illuminates,
park the vehicle at a safe loca-
tion.
If the ecoshift dual clutch trans- mission starts to become over-
heated, the gear shift character-
istics may change. Gear shifts
may become more abrupt. If
continued operation includes
frequent and continuous
upshifts and downshifts, the
overheat warning message on
the cluster LCD display may illu-
minate.
(Continued)(Continued)
If this occurs, stop the vehicle,
apply the brakes or shift the
vehicle to P (Park), and allow the
transmission to cool with engine
on.
When possible, continue to
drive the vehicle smoothly while
trying to avoid frequent upshift-
ing and downshifting.
Gear shifts may be more notice- able than a conventional auto-
matic transmission. This is a
normal characteristic of this
type of Ecoshift 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 per-
formance 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.

prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehi-
cle control is improved during
emergency braking, always
maintain a safe distance
between you and objects ahead
of you. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The
braking distance for cars
equipped with ABS or ESC may
be longer than for those without
these systems in the following
road conditions.(Continued)
