The shift lever can be moved without
pressing the button (1).
The button (1) must be pressed while
moving the shift lever.
Manual Transmission Operation
The manual transmission has 6
forward gears. The transmission is fully
synchronized in all forward gears so
shifting to either a higher or a lower gear
is easily accomplished.
WARNING
•
Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always make sure the shift lever is in
1st gear when the vehicle is parked
on a uphill and in R (Reverse) on a
downhill, set the parking brake, and
place the Engine Start/Stop button
in the OFF position. Unexpected
vehicle movement may occur if these
precautions are not followed.
• When parking on an incline, block
the wheels to prevent the vehicle
from rolling down.
To shift to R (Reverse), make sure the
vehicle has completely stopped, and
then move the shift lever to neutral
before moving into R (Reverse).
When you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1st gear or R
(Reverse):
1. Put the shift lever in neutral and release the clutch pedal.
2. Depress the clutch pedal, and then shift into first or R (Reverse) gear.
Information
During cold weather, shifting may be
difficult until the transmission lubricant
has warmed up.

N button (N1/N2 button)
Use Rev Matching when driving on race
tracks, etc. in N mode.
• When N mode (SPORT+) is selected: - REV Matching is turned on automatically. To turn off Rev
Matching, press the REV button.
- Red REV indicator illuminates.
- Engine speed is automatically adjusted to the shifted gear without
the accelerator pedal depressed.
- Engine RPM response is faster than SPORT mode when downshifting
with heavy braking such as when
driving on a race track.
• When CUSTOM mode (CUSTOM 1/ CUSTOM 2) is selected:
- You may select the drive mode you prefer from the infotainment system
screen Custom setting page. (OFF/
NORMAL/SPORT/ SPORT+).
For more details on “Custom Mode”
refer to the infotainment system
manual separately supplied.
Rev Matching operation
Engine speed is automatically
synchronized with the next selected
gear. The accelerator pedal does not
have to be depressed to speed up the
engine RPM.
• Clutch depressed with the gear engaged
At once, engine speed automatically
decreases right after the clutch is
disengaged, but the selected gear is
fixed and then the engine RPM reverts
to the selected gear’s target speed.
This operation method gives more
comfortable feeling in public road
driving.
• Up shifting Engine speed will automatically
decrease and stay at the target engine
speed before the clutch is engaged.
• Down shifting Engine speed will automatically
increase and stay at the target engine
speed.
Warning message
OCN7N061224L OCN7N061224L
Downshift Alert. Downshifting at high
RPMs may result in engine damage.
If transmission input rpm is too high
(
over rev limit) due to shifting, a warning
message will appear and a warning
chime will sound.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death:
• ALWAYS check the surrounding
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
Engine Start/Stop button in the OFF
position. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur if these
precautions are not followed.
• When using Manual Shift Mode, do
not use engine braking (shifting from
a high gear to lower gear) rapidly on
slippery roads. The vehicle may slip
causing an accident.
• To avoid damage to your transaxle,
do not try to accelerate in R (Reverse)
or any forward gear position with the
brakes on.
• When stopped on slope, do not hold
the vehicle with accelerator pedal.
Use the service brake or the parking
brake. • The dual clutch transmission gives the
driving feel of a manual transmission,
yet provides the ease of a fully
automatic transmission. Unlike a
traditional automatic transmission,
the gear shifting can be felt (and
heard) on the dual clutch transmission
- Think of it as an automatically shifting manual transmission.
- Shift into Drive range and get fully automatic shifting, similar
to a conventional automatic
transmission
• Dual clutch transmission adopts wet- type dual clutch, which is different
from torque converter of automatic
transmission, and shows better
acceleration performance during
driving. But, initial launch might
be little bit slower than automatic
transmission.
• Gear shifts are sometimes more noticeable than a conventional
automatic transmission and a light
vibration during launching can be felt
as the transmission speed is matched
with the engine speed. This is a
normal condition of the dual clutch
transmission.
• The wet-type clutch transfers torque and provides a direct driving feeling
which may feel different from a
conventional automatic transmission
with a torque converter. This may be
more noticeable when starting from a
stop or low vehicle speed.
• When rapidly accelerating at low vehicle speed, engine could rev at
high RPM depending on vehicle drive
condition.

Driving Your Vehicle6-20
• For smooth launch uphill, press down the accelerator pedal smoothly
depending on the current conditions.
• If you release your foot from the accelerator pedal at low vehicle
speed, you may feel strong engine
brake, which is similar to manual
transmission.
• When driving downhill, you may use Manual Mode to 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.
WARNING
Due to transmission failure, you may
not continue to drive and the position
indicator (D, R) on the cluster will blink.
We recommend you to contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have
the system checked.
LCD Display for Transmission
Temperature and Warning
Message
Transmission temperature gauge
OCN7N061225LOCN7N061225L
• Select trip computer mode on the LCD display and move to the
transmission temperature screen to
see the temperature of the dual clutch
transmission.
• Try to drive so that the temperature gauge do not show high/overheat.
When the transmission is overheated,
the warning message will display
on the LCD. Follow the displayed
message.
• The transmission temperature is displayed in three colors (white,
orange and red) as it increases. (if
equipped with the cluster type B)
• Orange temperature gauge is displayed right before the warning
message appears on the LCD display.
(if equipped)
CAUTION
• 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 transmission
performance, drive so that the white
gauge is not exceeded. (if equipped)

D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position. The
tr
ansmission will automatically shift
through a 8-gear sequence, providing
the best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or driving uphill, depress the
accelerator fully. The transmission will
automatically downshift to the next
lower gear (or gears, as appropriate).
The DRIVE MODE switch, located on the
shift lever console, allows the driver to
switch from NORMAL mode to ECO or
SPORT mode (if equipped)
For more information, refer to "Drive
Mode Integrated Control System" later
in this chapter.
WARNING
• Do not shift into gear unless your
foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
Shifting into gear when the engine
is running at high speed can cause
the vehicle to move very rapidly. You
may lose control of the vehicle and
cause accidents.
• Do not drive with the shift lever in N
(Neutral). The engine brake will not
work and may lead to an accident.
NOTICE
Always make sure the vehicle is
stationary, at a complete stop, before
selecting D (Drive).
OCN7N061252LOCN7N061252L
Manual shift mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in mo

tion, sports 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 backwards and forwards will allow
you to select the desired range of gears
for the current driving conditions.
Up (+) : Pull the lever backwards once to shift up one gear.
Down (-) : Push the lever forward once to shift down one gear.
