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)

DCT warning messages
OCN7N061226LOCN7N061226L
This warning message is displayed when
vehicle is driven slowly on a grade and
the vehicle detects that the brake pedal
is not applied.
Steep grade
Driving up hills or on steep grades:
•
To hold the vehicle on an incline use
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
disengaged, the clutch and
transmission may overheat which
can result in damage. At this time, a
warning message will appear on the
LCD display.
• If the LCD warning is active, the foot brake must be applied.
• Ignoring the warnings can lead to damage to the transmission.
OCN7N061227NOCN7N061227N
Transmission high temperature
• Under certain conditions, such as r
epeated stop-and-go launches
on steep grades, sudden take off
or acceleration, or other harsh
driving conditions, the transmission
clutch temperatures will increase
excessively. Finally the clutch in
transmission 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 temperature 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 safe location, stop the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the brakes and
shift the vehicle to P (Park), and allow
the transmission to cool.
• If you ignore this warning, the driving condition may become worse.
You may experience abrupt shifts,
frequent shifts, or jerkiness. To return
to the normal driving condition, 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.

• If the vehicle continues to be driven and the clut
ch temperatures reach
the maximum temperature limit, the
"Transmission hot! Park with engine
On" warning will be displayed. When
this occurs the clutch is disabled
until the clutch cools to normal
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), and allow
the transmission to cool.
• When the message "Transmission cooled down. Resume driving"
appears you can continue to drive
your vehicle.
• When possible, drive the vehicle smoothly.
