Before Entering the Vehicle

[Be sure all windows, outside mirror(s),
and outside lights are clean and
unobstructed.

[ Remove frost, snow, or ice.

[ Visually check the tires for uneven
wear and damage.

[ Check under the vehicle for any sign
of leaks.

[ Be sure there are no obstacles behind
you if you intend to back up.
Before Starting

[Make sure the hood, the trunk, and
the doors are securely closed and
locked.

[ Adjust the position of the seat and
steering wheel.

[ Adjust the inside and side view
mirrors.

[ Verify all the lights work.

[ Fasten your seatbelt. Check that
all passengers have fastened their
seatbelts.

[ Check the gauges and indicators
in the instrument panel and the
messages on the instrument display
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.

[ Check that any items you are carrying
are stored properly or fastened down
securely.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, take the following precautions:

[ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All
passengers must be properly belted
whenever the vehicle is moving.
For more information, refer to "Seat
Belts" in chapter 3.

[ Always drive defensively. Assume
other drivers or pedestrians may be
careless and make mistakes.

[ Stay focused on the task of driving.
Driver distraction can cause
accidents.

[ Leave plenty of space between you
and the vehicle in front of you.
WARNING
NEVER drink alcohol or take drugs and
drive.
Drinking alcohol or taking drugs and
driving is dangerous and may result in
an accident and SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death
toll each year. Even a small amount
of alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgment. Just
one drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions and
emergencies and your reaction time
gets worse with each additional drink.
Driving while under the influence
of drugs is as dangerous as or more
dangerous than driving under the
influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or take
drugs and drive. If you are drinking or
taking drugs, don't drive. Do not ride
with a driver who has been drinking
or taking drugs. Choose a designated
driver or call a taxi.
BEFORE DRIVING

Driving Your Vehicle6-14

[ If you release your foot from the
accelerator pedal at low vehicle
speed, you may feel strong engine
braking, which is similar to manual
transmission.

[ When driving downhill, you may
use Sports 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.

[ During the first 1000 miles (1,500 km),
you may feel that the vehicle may not
be smooth when accelerating at low
speed. During this break-in period, the
shift quality and performance of your
new vehicle is continuously optimized.
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
DCT warning messages
OTLE055019
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:

[T

o 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.

OJS058139L
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.

Driving Your Vehicle6-16
Transmission overheated

[ If the v
ehicle continues to be driven
and the clutch 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.
If any of the warning messages in the
LCD display continue to blink, for your
safety, we recommend you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have the
system checked.
Transmission ranges
The indicator in the instrument cluster
displays the shift lever position when the
ignition switch 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

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.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
WARNING
An Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) or
an Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system will not prevent accidents
due to improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehicle
control is improved during emergency
braking, always maintain a safe
distance between you and objects
ahead of you. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during extreme
road conditions. The braking distance
for cars equipped with ABS or ESC
may be longer than for those without
these systems in the following road
conditions.
Drive your vehicle at reduced speeds
during the following conditions:

[ Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.

[ On roads where the road surface is
pitted or has different surface height.

[ Tire chains are installed on your
vehicle.
The safety features of an ABS or ESC
equipped vehicle should not be tested
by high speed driving or cornering. This
could endanger the safety of yourself or
others.
ABS is an electronic braking system that
helps prevent a braking skid. ABS allows
the driver to steer and brake at the same
time.
