Information
• If the vehicle is not on level ground
or the battery power has been inter-
rupted, the distance to empty func-
tion may not operate correctly.
• The distance to empty may differ
from the actual driving distance as
it is an estimate of the available
driving distance.
• The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 6 litres
(1.5 gallon) of fuel are added to the
vehicle.
• The fuel economy and distance to
empty may vary significantly based
on driving conditions, driving habits,
and condition of the vehicle.

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 vehicle
The dual clutch transmission can
be 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.As 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 1,500 km (1000
miles), you may feel that the vehi-
cle may not be smooth when accel-
erating at low speed. During this
break-in period, the shift quality
and performance of your new vehi-
cle is continuously optimised.

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.
S (Sport)
If you drive the vehicle with the shift
lever in S (Sport), the vehicle will
automatically change to SPORT
mode. The indicator will illumi-
nate on the instrument cluster.
When driving in SPORT mode, the
vehicle provides sporty but firm rid-
ing.
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.Manual shift mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in motion, manual shift mode is
selected by pushing the shift lever
from the D (Drive) position into the
manual gate. To return to D (Drive)
range operation, push the shift lever
back into the main gate.
In manual shift mode, moving the shift
lever rearwards and forwards will
allow you to make gearshifts rapidly.
Up (+) : Push the lever forward
once to shift up one gear.
Down (-) : Pull the lever rearwards
once to shift down one
gear.

Information - For Plug-in
hybrid vehicles
• If the vehicle is in Electric (CD)
mode, and you shift from D (Drive)
to S (Sport), the vehicle will change
to SPORT mode. In SPORT mode, if
you move the shift lever up (+) or
down (-), the vehicle will enter man-
ual shift mode.
• If the vehicle is in Hybrid (CS)
mode, and you shift from D (Drive)
to S (Sport), the vehicle will auto-
matically enter manual shift mode.Information
• Only the six forward gears can be
selected 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:

To release EPB (Electronic Parking
Brake) automatically:
Shift lever in P (Park)
With the vehicle is in the ready
( ) mode, depress the brake
pedal and shift out of P (Park) to R
(Rear) or D (Drive).
Shift lever in N (Neutral)
With the vehicle is in the ready
( ) mode, depress the brake
pedal and shift out of N (Neutral) to
R (Rear) or D (Drive).
Automatic transmission vehicle
Satisfy the following conditions
1. Ensure seat belts are fastened
and the doors, bonnet and tailgate
are closed.
2. With vehicle in the ready ( )
mode, depress the brake pedal
and shift out of P (Park) to R
(Reverse), D (Drive) or Manual
shift mode.
3. Depress the accelerator pedal.
Make sure the Parking Brake Warning
light ( ) goes off.
Information
• For your safety, you can engage
EPB even though the ignition switch
is in the OFF position (only if bat-
tery is available), but you cannot
release it.
• For your safety, depress the brake
pedal and release the parking brake
manually with the EPB switch when
you drive downhill or when backing
up the vehicle.
If the parking brake warning
light is still on even though EPB
has been released, we recom-
mend that the system be
checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not drive your vehicle with
the EPB applied. It may cause
excessive brake pad and brake
rotor wear.
Warning messages
To release EPB, fasten seatbelt,
close door, hood and tailgate
When you try to drive with EPB
applied, a warning will sound and a
message will appear.
If the driver's seat belt is unfas-
tened and the engine bonnet or
tailgate is opened, a warning will
sound and a message will appear.
When there is a problem with the
vehicle, a warning may sound and
a message may appear.
If the situation occurs, depress the
brake pedal and release EPB by
pressing the EPB switch.
