Driving your vehicle
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
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) whilst the vehicle is in
motion.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not
engaged.
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position.
The transmission will automatically
shift through a 6-gear sequence, pro-
viding the best fuel economy and
power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or driving uphill, depress
the accelerator fully. The transmis-
sion will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear (or gears, as
appropriate).
If you drive the vehicle with the shift
lever in D (Drive), the vehicle will
automatically change to ECO mode.
The indicator will illuminate on
the instrument cluster.
When driving in ECO mode, the vehi-
cle improves fuel efficiency for eco-
friendly driving.

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
vehicle off.
Do not use the P (Park) posi-
tion in place of the parking
brake.
When parking on an incline,
place the shift lever in P (Park)
and apply the parking brake to
prevent the vehicle from
rolling downhill.
For safety, always engage the
parking brake with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position
except for the case of emer-
gency parking.

Driving your vehicle
Information
• Only the six forward gears can beselected in Manual Shift Mode. To
reverse or park the vehicle, move
the shift lever to the R (Reverse) or
P (Park) position as required.
• Downshifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. When
the vehicle stops, 1
stgear is automat-
ically selected.
• When the engine rpm approaches the red zone the transmission will
upshift automatically.
• If the driver presses the lever to + (Up) or - (Down) position, the
transmission may not make the
requested 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 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 outside of the allowable range.
Shift-lock system
For your safety, the dual clutch trans-
mission has a shift-lock system
which prevents shifting the transmis-
sion 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 vehicle 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:
Type A
1. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Push the shift-lock release button (1).
4. Move the shift lever whilst pushing the shift-lock release button.
5. Stop pushing the shift-lock release button.
6. Depress the brake pedal, and then restart the vehicle.
If you need to use the shift-lock
release, we recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer immediately.

5-24
Driving your vehicle
The system changes from manual mode to automatic mode when
- the vehicle speed is lower than 3mph (5 km/h),
- you depress the accelerator pedal for more than 5 seconds,
- you pull the [+] paddle shifter for more than 1 second, or
- you move the shift lever from D (Drive) to S (Sport) or manual
shift mode (+, -) and then back to
D (Drive).
Information
If the [+] and [-] paddle shifters are
pulled at the same time, gear shift may
not occur.
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
transmission 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.
Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis-
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.
i
When you stay in the vehicle
with the engine running, be
careful not to depress the accel-
erator 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

5-26
The coasting guide function informs
the driver when to take the foot off
from the accelerator by anticipating a
decelerating event* based on the
analysis of driving routes and road
conditions of the navigation. It
encourages the driver to remove foot
from the pedal and allow coasting
down the road with EV motor only.
This helps prevent unnecessary fuel
consumption and increases fuel effi-
ciency.
Information
Example of a deceleration event is
making a right/left turn, driving
through a rotary, entering or exiting a
highway (freeway), etc. The driver can activate the coasting
guide by placing the ignition switch in
the ON position and by selecting:

User Settings →
Driver assistance
→ Coasting guidance
For the explanation of the system,
press and hold the [OK] button.
Operation conditions
To activate the system, take the fol-
lowing procedures. Enter your desti-
nation information on the navigation
and select the driving route. Have the
vehicle in ECO mode by driving the
vehicle in D (Drive). Then, satisfy the
following.
- The driving speed should be between 25 mph (40 km/h) and 100 mph (160
km/h).
Information
The operating speed may vary due to
difference between instrument cluster
and navigation effected by tyre infla-
tion level.
Information
Coasting guide is only a supplemental
system to assist with fuel-efficient
driving. Thus, the operating condi-
tions may be different in accordance
with traffic/road conditions (i.e. driv-
ing in a traffic jam, driving on a slope,
driving on a curve). Thus, take the
actual driving conditions into consid-
eration, such as distances from the
vehicles ahead/behind, whilst refer-
ring to the coasting guide system as
guidance.

Driving your vehicle
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stabili-
ty. Always steer moderately when
braking hard. Severe or sharp steer-
ing wheel movement can still cause
your vehicle to veer into oncoming
traffic or off the road.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may result in a longer stopping
distance than for vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.
The ABS warning light ( ) will stay
on for several seconds after the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position.
During that time, the ABS will go
through self-diagnosis and the light
will go off if everything is normal. If
the light stays on, you may have a
problem with your ABS. We recom-
mend that you contact a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer as soon as pos-
sible. When you drive on a road having
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and apply your brakes continu-
ously, the ABS will be active con-
tinuously and the ABS warning
light ( ) may illuminate. Pull
your car over to a safe place and
turn the vehicle off.
Restart the vehicle. If the ABS
warning light is off, then your ABS
system is normal.
Otherwise, you may have a prob-
lem with your ABS system. We
recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer as
soon as possible.
Information
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the ABS
warning light ( ) may turn on at the
same time. This happens because of
the low battery voltage. It does not
mean your ABS is malfunctioning.
Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
i
NOTICE
If the ABS warning light ( ) is
on and stays on, you may have
a problem with the ABS. Your
power brakes will work normal-
ly. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, we recommend
that you contact your HYUNDAI
authorised repairer as soon as
possible.

Indicator lights
When the ignition switch is pressed
to the ON position, the ESC indicator
light illuminates, then goes off if the
ESC system is operating normally.
The ESC indicator light blinks when-
ever the ESC is operating.
If the ESC indicator light stays on,
your vehicle may have a malfunction
with the ESC system. When this
warning light illuminates we recom-
mend that the vehicle be checked by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer as
soon as possible.
The ESC OFF indicator light comes
on when the ESC is turned off with
the button.Driving with wheels and tyres with
different sizes may cause the ESC
system to malfunction. Before
replacing tyres, make sure all four
tyres and wheels are the same
size. Never drive the vehicle with
different sized wheels and tyres
installed.
ESC OFF usage
When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be
used briefly to help free the vehicle if
stuck in snow or mud, by temporarily
stopping operation of the ESC, to
maintain wheel torque.
To turn ESC off whilst driving, press
the ESC OFF button whilst driving on
a flat road surface.
NOTICE
