before turning the engine off.
•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,
block the wheels to prevent
the vehicle from rolling down.
•For safety, always engage the
parking brake with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position

Driving your vehicle
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.
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position. The
transmission will automatically shift
through a 8-gear sequence, providing
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).
To stop the vehicle during driving,
Please depress brake pedal fully to
prevent unintended movement.
NOTICE
•Do not shift 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
could lose control of the vehi-
cle and hit people or objects.
•Do not drive with the shift
lever in N (Neutral). The
engine brake will not work
and may lead to an accident.
WARNING
Always park the vehicle in P
(Park) for safety and engage the
parking brake.

Always make sure the vehicle is
stationary, at a complete stop,
before selecting D (Drive).
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.
Manual shift mode manages the driv-
ing dynamics by automatically adjust-
ing the steering effort, and the engine
and transmission control logic for
enhanced driver performance.
NOTICE
•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.

Paddle shifter (if equipped)
The paddle shifter is functional when
the shift lever is in the D (Drive) posi-
tion or the manual shift mode.
With the shift lever in the D position
The paddle shifter will operate when
the vehicle speed is more than
10km/h.
Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once
to shift up or down one gear and the
system changes from automatic
mode to manual mode.
When the vehicle speed is lower
than 10km/h, if you depress the
accelerator pedal for more than 5
seconds or if you move the shift lever
from D (Drive) to manual shift mode
and move it from manual shift mode
to D (Drive) again, the system
changes from manual mode to auto-
matic mode.
When the engine reaches maximum
rpm in manual shift mode by paddle
shifting at shift lever D (driving) posi-
tion, the shift is automatically per-
formed.

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 engine 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 depressing the
brake, and then do the following:
1. Place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Push the shift-lock release button
(1).
4. Move the shift lever while pushing
the shift-lock release button.
5. Stop pushing the shift-lock release
button.6. Depress the brake pedal, and the
restart the engine.
If you need to use the shift-lock
release, we recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer immediately.
Ignition key interlock system
(if equipped)
The ignition key cannot be removed
unless the shift lever is in the P
(Park) position.
Always fully depress the brake
pedal before and while shifting
out of the P (Park) position into
another position to avoid inad-
vertent motion of the vehicle
which could injure persons in
or around the vehicle.

Parking
Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal.
Move the shift lever into the P (Park)
position, apply the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position. Take the Key
with you when exiting the vehicle.
Good driving practices
• Never move the shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
• Never move the shift lever into P
(Park) when the vehicle is in
motion.
• Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Revers) or D (Drive).
• Never take the vehicle out of gear
and coast down a hill. Always leave
the vehicle in gear when moving.
• Do not “ride” the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and mal-
function. Instead, when you are
driving down a long hill, slow down
and shift to a lower gear. When you
do this, engine braking will help
slow the car.
• 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.• Always apply the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis-
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.
• Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
• Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator. When you stay in the vehicle
with the engine running, be
careful not to depress the accel-
erator pedal for a long period of
time. The engine or exhaust
system may overheat and start
a fire.
The exhaust gas and the
exhaust system are very hot.
Keep away from the exhaust
system components.
Do not stop or park over flam-
mable materials, such as dry
grass, paper or leaves. They
may ignite and cause a fire.
WARNING

5-30
Driving your vehicle
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
•When driving uphill or down-
hill, always shift to D (Drive)
for driving forward or shift to
R (Reverse) for driving rear-
wards. After selecting D
(Drive) or R (Reverse), check
the gear position indicated on
the cluster before driving. If
you drive in the opposite
direction of the selected gear,
the engine will turn off and a
serious accident might occur
due to degraded brake per-
formance.
•Always buckle-up! In a colli-
sion, an unbelted occupant is
significantly more likely to be
seriously injured or killed than
a properly belted occupant.
•Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
WARNING •Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
•The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control
of your vehicle at highway
speeds.
•Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off
the roadway and the driver
over steers to reenter the
roadway.
•In the event your vehicle
leaves the roadway, do not
steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into
the travel lanes.
•HYUNDAI recommends you
follow all posted speed limits.
If your vehicle is stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., you may
attempt to free the vehicle by
rocking it back and forth. Do not
attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near.
Vehicle may suddenly move for-
ward or backward as it becomes
unstuck, causing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.
