Driving your vehicle
Using the clutch (if equipped)
The clutch pedal should be depressed all
the way to the floor before:
- Starting the engine
The engine will not start without
depressing the clutch pedal.
- Shifting
To start your vehicle, slowly release
the clutch pedal and depress the
accelerator.
When releasing the clutch pedal, release
it slowly. The clutch pedal should always
be released whilst driving.
NOTICE
To prevent unnecessary wear or
damage to the clutch:
[ Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal whilst driving.
[ Do not hold the vehicle with the
clutch on an incline, whilst 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.
[ Depress the clutch pedal all the way
and be careful not to depress the
pedal again before returning to the
upright position after you release
the pedal. If you depress the pedal
before returning to the original
position repeatedly, it may cause the
clutch system failure.
Downshifting
Downshift when you must slow down in
heavy traffic or drive up a steep hill to
prevent engine load.
Also, downshifting reduces the chance
of stalling and can accelerate when you
need to increase your speed again.
When the vehicle is going downhill,
downshifting helps maintain safe speed
by providing brake power from the
engine and enables less wear on the
brakes.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the engine,
clutch and transmission:
[ When downshifting the 5th gear
to the 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.
[ Do not downshift more than two
gear at a time or downshift the gear
when the engine is running at high
speed (5,000 RPM or higher). Such
a downshifting may damage the
engine, clutch and the transmission.

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.
WARNING
Do not use the engine brake (shifting
from a higher gear to lower gear)
rapidly on slippery roads. The vehicle
may slip causing an accident.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:
[ ALWAYS wear your seatbelt. In a
collision, an unbelted occupant
is significantly more likely to be
seriously injured or killed than a
properly belted occupant.
[ Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.
[ 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.

Driving your vehicle
[ To avoid premature clutch wear
and damage, do not drive with your
foot resting on the clutch pedal.
Also, don’t use the clutch to hold the
vehicle stopped on an uphill grade,
whilst waiting for a traffic light, etc.
[ Do not use the shift lever as a
handrest during driving, as this can
result in premature wear of the
transmission shift forks.
[ To prevent possible damage to the
clutch system, do not start with the
2nd (second) gear engaged except
when you start on a slippery road.
WARNING
[ Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always set the parking brake fully
and shut the engine off. Then make
sure the transmission is shifted into
the 1st gear when the vehicle is
parked on a level or uphill grade, and
shifted into R (Reverse) on a downhill
grade. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur if these
precautions are not followed in the
order identified.
[ Do not use the engine brake (shifting
from a high gear to lower gear)
rapidly on slippery roads. The vehicle
may slip causing an accident.
Using the clutch
The clutch should be pressed all the way
to the floor before shifting, then released
slowly. The clutch pedal should always
be fully released whilst driving. Do not
rest your foot on the clutch pedal whilst
driving. This can cause unnecessary
wear. Do not partially engage the clutch
to hold the vehicle on an incline. This
causes unnecessary wear. Use the
foot brake or parking brake to hold the
vehicle on an incline. Do not operate the
clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.
CAUTION
When operating the clutch pedal, press
the clutch pedal down fully. If you don’t
press the clutch pedal fully, the clutch
may be damaged or noise may occur.
Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy
traffic or whilst driving up steep hills,
downshift before the engine starts to
labour. Downshifting reduces the chance
of stalling and gives better acceleration
when you again need to increase your
speed. When the vehicle is traveling
down steep hills, downshifting helps
maintain safe speed and prolongs brake
life.

Good driving practices
[ Never take the vehicle out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely
hazardous. Always leave the vehicle
in gear.
[ Don’t “ride” the brakes. This can cause
them to overheat and malfunction.
Instead, when you are driving down a
long hill, shift to a lower gear. When
you do this, the engine braking will
help slow down the vehicle.
[ Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. This will help avoid over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
[ Slow down when you encounter cross
winds. This gives you much better
control of your vehicle.
[ Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into reverse. The transmission can be
damaged if you do not.
[ 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 the vehicle to go out of control. WARNING
[ Always buckle-up! In a collision, an
unbelted occupant is significantly
more likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly belted
occupant.
[ Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.
[ Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
[ The risk of rollover is greatly
ncreased 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 oversteers 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.
[ Never exceed posted speed limits.

Transmission ranges
The indicator in the instrument cluster
displays the shift lever position when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
3 3 D U N
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into 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) whilst 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, place the
shift lever in P (Park) and apply the
parking brake to prevent the vehicle
from rolling downhill.
[ For safety, always engage the parking
brake with the shift lever in the P
(Park) position except for the case of
emergency parking.
5 5 H Y H U V H
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
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) whilst the vehicle
is in motion.
1 1 H X W U D O
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.
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.
' ' U L Y H
This is the normal driving position. The
transmission will automatically shift
through a 6-gear sequence, providing
the best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or driving uphill, depress the
accelerator fully. The transmission will
automatically downshift to the next
lower gear (or gears, as appropriate).
