The dual clutch transmission canbe thought of as an automatically
shifting manual transmission. It
gives the driving feel of a manual
transmission, yet provides the
ease of a fully automatic transmis-
sion.
When D (Drive) is selected, the transmission will automatically shift
through the gears similar to a con-
ventional automatic transmission.
Unlike a traditional automatic
transmission, the gear shifting can
sometimes be felt and heard as the
actuators engage the clutches and
the gears are selected.
The dual clutch transmission incor- porates a dry-type dual clutch
mechanism, which allows for better
acceleration performance and
increased fuel efficiency whilst
driving. But it differs from a con-
ventional automatic transmission
because it does not incorporate a
torque converter. Instead, the tran-
sition from one gear to the next is
managed by clutch slip, especially
at lower speeds.

The shift lever can freely operate. Depress the brake pedal and press the shift button whilst moving the shift lever.
Press the shift button whilst moving the shift lever.
Manual shift mode
Dual clutch transmission operation
The dual clutch transmission has six forward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected automatically in the D (Drive) position.
❈ To move the shift lever from/to P (Parking) or between R (Reverse) and D (Drive), you must
depress the brake pedal for the vehicle to stand still.

Driving your vehicleAs a result, shifts are sometimes
more noticeable, and a light vibra-
tion can be felt as the transmission
shaft speed is matched with the
engine shaft speed. This is a nor-
mal condition of the dual clutch
transmission.
The dry-type clutch transfers torque more directly and provides
a direct-drive feeling which may
feel different from a conventional
automatic transmission. This may
be more noticeable when launch-
ing the vehicle from a stop or when
travelling at low, stop-and-go vehi-
cle 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 transmission selects the cor-
rect gear. This is a normal condi-
tion.
When accelerating from a stop on an incline, press the accelerator
smoothly and gradually to avoid
any shudder feeling or jerkiness. When travelling at a lower vehicle
speed, if you release the accelera-
tor pedal quickly, you may feel
engine braking before the trans-
mission 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 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
dual clutch transmission.
During the first 1000 miles (1500km), you may feel that the
vehicle may not be smooth when
accelerating at low speed. During
this break-in period, the shift quali-
ty and performance of your new
vehicle is continuously optimised. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
ALWAYS check the surround-
ing areas near your vehicle for
people, 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 posi-
tion. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur
if these precautions are not
followed.
Do not use the engine brake
(shifting from a high gear to
lower gear) rapidly on slip-
pery roads. The vehicle may
slip causing an accident.
WARNING

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.
