and C)
Orange temperature gauge is dis- played right before the warning
message appears on the LCD dis-
play. (if equipped)
NOTICE
To avoid damage to your
transmission, do not try to
accelerate with the shift lever
in R (Reverse) or any forward
gear position with the brake
engaged.
When stopped on a slope, do
not hold the vehicle with
accelerator pedal. Engage the
service brake or the parking
brake.
Due to transmission failure, you
may not continue to drive and
the position indicator (D, P) on
the instrument cluster will bilnk.
Contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the
system checked.
WARNING
OJS048123N/OOS057100L
Increase (high temperature) of
the transmission temperature
gauge usually appears on an
incline when the vehicle is
stopped for a long time using
accelerator pedal, without
depressing the brake pedal.
To maintain the optimal trans-
mission performance, drive
so that the white gauge is not
exceeded. (if equipped)

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.

before turning the engine off.
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) while the vehicle is in
motion.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not
engaged.
Use N (Neutral) if you need to restart
a stalled engine, or if it is necessary
to stop with the engine ON.
Shift into P (Park) if you need to
leave your vehicle for any reason.
Always depress the brake pedal
when you are shifting from N
(Neutral) to another gear.
NOTICE
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,
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.

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 while driving, press
the ESC OFF button while driving on
a flat road surface.To prevent damage to the trans-
mission:
Do not allow wheel(s) of one
axle to spin excessively while
the ESC, ABS, and parking brake
warning lights are displayed.
The repairs would not be cov-
ered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce engine power and do
not spin the wheel(s) excessive-
ly while these lights are dis-
played.
When operating the vehicle on a dynamometer, make sure the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light
illuminated).
Information
Turning the ESC off does not affect ABS
or standard brake system operation.
Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
The Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM) is a function of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system. It
helps ensure the vehicle stays stable
when accelerating or braking sud-
denly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four
tires can suddenly become uneven.
i
NOTICE
Take the following precautions
when using the Vehicle Stability
Management (VSM):
ALWAYS check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. The VSM is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-
tices.
Never drive too fast for the
road conditions. The VSM sys-
tem will not prevent acci-
dents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, slippery and uneven
roads can result in severe
accidents.

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

the SPORT mode is activated.
- Upshifts are delayed when accel- erating
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.
