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.

Using the clutch
The clutch pedal should be depressed all
the way before: - Starting the engine
The engine will not start without
depressing the clutch pedal.
- Shifting into gear, up shifting to the next higher gear, or down shifting to
the next low gear.
When releasing the clutch pedal, release
it slowly. The clutch pedal should always
be fully released while driving.
NOTICE
To prevent unnecessary wear or
damage to the clutch:
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal while driving.
• Do not hold the vehicle with the
clutch on an incline, while waiting for
the traffic light, etc.
• Always depress the clutch pedal
down fully to prevent noise or
damage.
• Do not start with the 2nd (second)
gear engaged except when you start
on a slippery road.
• Do not drive with cargo loaded more
than the recommended loading
capacity.
• Make sure to depress the clutch
pedal until the engine starts
completely. If you release the clutch
pedal before the engine starts
completely, the engine may stop.
Downshifting
Down shift to a lower gear when slowing
down in heavy traffic or driving up a
steep hill to prevent high engine loads.
Also, downshifting reduces the chance
of stalling and helps to reaccelerate the
vehicle when you need to increase your
speed.
When the vehicle is going downhill,
downshifting helps maintain safe speed
by providing a load from the engine and
results in less wear on the brakes.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the engine,
clutch and transmission:
• When downshifting from 5th
gear to 4th gear, be careful not to
inadvertently push the shift lever
sideways engaging the 2nd gear.
A drastic downshift may cause the
engine speed to increase to the point
the tachometer will enter the red-
zone and may cause engine damage.
• Do not downshift more than two
gears at a time or downshift the
gear when the engine is running at
high speed (5,000 RPM or higher).
Such downshifting may damage the
engine, clutch and the transmission.

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.

Transmission ranges
The indicator in the instrument cluster
displays the shift lever position when the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting in
to P (Park).
To shift from P (Park), you must depress
firmly on the brake pedal and make sure
your foot is off the accelerator pedal.
If you have done all of the above and
still cannot shift the lever out of P
(Park), see "Shift-Lock Release" in this
chapter.
The shift lever must be in P (Park) before
turning the engine off.
WARNING
• 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.
• Do not use the P (Park) position in
place of the parking brake.
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backw

ard.
NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into or out of R (Reverse); you
may damage the transaxle if you shift
into R (Reverse) while the vehicle is in
motion.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transaxle are not
engaged.
U

se 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.

Information
• Only the eight forward gears can be
selected. 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, 1st gear is automatically
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 RPM
below the red zone.
Shift-lock system
For your safety, the dual clutch
transmission has a shift-lock system
which prevents shifting the transmission
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 Engine
Start/Stop button 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:
OCN7N061253L OCN7N061253L
1. Set the Engine Start/Stop button in the OFF position
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Carefully remove the shift lever boots.
4. Move the shift lever while holding the release button (1) with a tool (for
example, flathead screw-driver).
If you need to use the shift-lock release,
we recommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer immediately.
CAUTION
Be careful not to damage the trim
beside of the shift lever while removing
the shift lever boots.
