DCT warning messages
Steep grade
This warning message is displayed
when vehicle is driven slowly on a
grade and the vehicle detects that
the brake pedal is not applied.
Driving up hills or on steep grades:
To hold the vehicle on an inclineuse the foot brake or the parking
brake.
When in stop-and-go traffic on an incline, keep some distance ahead
before moving the vehicle forward.
Then hold the vehicle on the incline
with the foot brake. If the vehicle is held on a hill by
applying the accelerator pedal or
by creeping with brake pedal dis-
engaged, the clutch and transmis-
sion may overheat which can result
in damage. At this time, a warning
message will appear on the LCD
display.
If the LCD display warning is active, the foot brake must be
applied.
Ignoring the warnings can lead to damage to the transmission.
Transmission high temperature
Under certain conditions, such asrepeated stop-and-go launches on
steep grades, sudden take off or
acceleration, or other harsh driving
conditions, the transmission clutch
temperatures will increase exces-
sively. Finally the clutch in trans-
mission could be overheated.
When the clutch is overheated, the safe protection mode engages and
the gear position indicator on the
cluster blinks with a chime. At this
time, "Transmission temp. is high!
Stop safely" warning message will
appear on the LCD display and
driving may not be smooth.

If this occurs, pull over to a safelocation, stop the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the brakes
and shift the vehicle to P (Park)
with engine on, and allow the
transmission to cool.
If you ignore this warning, the driv- ing condition may become worse.
You may experience abrupt shifts,
frequent shifts, or jerkiness. To
return to the normal driving condi-
tion, stop the vehicle and apply the
foot brake or shift into P (Park).
Then allow the transmission to cool
for a few minutes with engine on,
before driving off.
When possible, drive the vehicle smoothly.
Transmission overheated
If the vehicle continues to be drivenand the clutch temperatures reach
the maximum temperature limit, the
"Transmission Hot! Park with engine
on" warning will be displayed. When this occurs the clutch is dis-
abled until the clutch cools to nor-
mal temperatures.
The warning will display a time to wait for the transmission to cool.
If this occurs, pull over to a safe location, stop the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the brakes
and shift the vehicle to P (Park)
with engine on for a certain time,
and allow the transmission to cool.
When the message "Trans cooled. Resume driving" appears you can
continue to drive your vehicle.
When possible, drive the vehicle smoothly.
If any of the warning messages in
the LCD display continue to blink, for
your safety, contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the sys-
tem checked.

Information
If the [+] and [-] paddle shifters are
pulled at the same time, gear shift may
not occur.
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 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 depressing the
brake, and then do the following:
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 while pushing the shift-lock release button.

Good Braking Practices Wet brakes can be dangerous! The
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is
driven through standing water or if it
is washed. Your vehicle will not stop
as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet
brakes may cause the vehicle to pull
to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns
to normal, taking care to keep the
vehicle under control at all times. If
the braking action does not return to
normal, stop as soon as it is safe to
do so and call an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
constant pedal pressure can result in
the brakes overheating, brake wear,
and possibly even brake failure.
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing, apply the brakes gently and
keep the vehicle pointed straight
ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it
to be safe to do so, pull off the road
and stop in a safe location.Keep your foot firmly on the brake
pedal when the vehicle is stopped to
prevent the vehicle from rolling for-
ward.
If your vehicle is equipped with
the automatic transmission/dual
clutch transmission, do not let
your vehicle creep forward. To
avoid creeping forward, keep
your foot firmly on the brake
pedal when the vehicle is
stopped.
Be cautious when parking on a hill. Firmly engage the parking
brake and place the shift lever in
P (automatic transmission/dual
clutch transmission) or in first
or reverse gear (manual trans-
mission). If your vehicle is fac-
ing downhill, steer the front
wheels to the curb to help pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling. If
your vehicle is facing uphill, turn
the front wheels away from the
curb to help prevent the vehicle
from rolling. If there is no curb
or if the vehicle has to be kept
from rolling due to conditions
block the wheels.
NOTICEWhenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a com-
plete stop and continue to
depress the brake pedal. Move
the shift lever into 1
stgear (for
manual transmission vehicle) or
P (Park, for automatic transmis-
sion/dual clutch transmission
vehicle) position, then apply the
parking brake, and place the
ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position.
Vehicles parked with the park-
ing brake not applied or not
fully engaged may roll inadver-
tently and may cause injury to
the driver and others. ALWAYS
apply the parking brake before
exiting the vehicle.
WARNING

5-50
Driving your vehicle
Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the
engaged position. This is most
likely to happen when there is
an accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes
or if the brakes are wet. If there
is a risk of brake freezing, apply
the brake temporarily while you
put the shift lever in P
(Automatic transmission/dual
clutch transmission) or in first
or reverse gear (manual trans-
mission) and block the rear
wheels so the vehicle cannot
roll. Then release the parking
brake.
Do not hold the vehicle on the incline with the accelerator
pedal. This can cause the trans-
mission to overheat. Always use
the brake pedal or parking
brake.

ment cluster, the drive mode will be in
NORMAL mode and may not change
to other mode. The mode changes, as below, when-
ever the DRIVE MODE is pressed.
NORMAL mode
In NORMAL mode the engine and
transmission control logic work
together to provide regular daily driv-
ing performance with some fuel effi-
ciency.
When NORMAL mode is selected,
it is not displayed on the instrument
cluster.
SPORT mode
SPORT mode managesthe driving dynamics by
automatically adjusting the
steering effort, and the
engine and transmission
control logic for enhanced
driving performance.
When SPORT mode is selected by pressing the DRIVE MODE button,
the SPORT indicator will illuminate.
Whenever the engine is restarted, the Drive Mode will revert back to
NORMAL mode. If SPORT mode is
desired, re-select SPORT mode
from the DRIVE MODE button.

time even after releasing the
accelerator. This is normal when
the SPORT mode is activated.
- Upshifts are delayed when accel- erating
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.
