Driving Your Vehicle6-18
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 transmission if you
shift into R (Reverse) while the vehicle is
in motion.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission 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.
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 could lose control of
the vehicle and hit people or objects. D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position. The
tr

ansmission will automatically shift,
providing the best fuel economy and
power. For extra power when passing
another vehicle or driving uphill depress
the accelerator pedal further until you
feel the transmission downshift to a
lower gear.
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.

lever from D (Drive) to the center of
the manual shift mode. The engine
and transmission control logic is
automatically optimized for sporty
driving.

[ In Ds mode, if you move the shift
lever to + (up) or (down), the gear
will change to manual shift mode.
If the shift lever is moved back into
D (Drive), it will change to D (Drive).
The vehicle will perform according to
the mode selected from drive mode
(NORMAL, SPORT, SMART).
OCN7060008
Manual shift mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
mo

tion, manual shift mode is selected by
pushing the shift lever from the D (Drive)
position into the manual gate. To return

[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 or press the paddle
shifters (if equipped) 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.
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and have the system checked.

incline, keep some distance ahead
before moving the vehicle forward.
Then hold the vehicle on the incline
