Driving your vehicle

• The Ecoshift dual clutch transmission
gives the driving feel of a manual trans-
mission, yet provides the ease of a
fully automatic transmission. Unlike a
traditional automatic transmission, the
gear shifting can be felt (and heard) on
the Ecoshift dual clutch transmission.
- Think of it as an automatically shifting
manual transmission.
- Shift into Drive range and get fully
automatic shifting, similar to a con-
ventional automatic transmission.
• Ecoshift dual clutch transmission
adopts dry-type dual clutch, which is
different from torque converter of auto-
matic transmission, and shows better
acceleration performance during driv-
ing. But, initial launch might be little bit
slower than Automatic Transmission.
• The dry-type clutch transfers torque
and provides a direct driving feeling
which may feel different from a con-
ventional 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 vehi-
cle speed, engine could rev at high
rpm depending on vehicle drive condi-
tion.
• For smooth launch uphill, press down
the accelerator pedal smoothly
depending on the current conditions.
• If you release your foot from the accel-
erator pedal at low vehicle speed, you
may feel strong engine brake, which is
similar to manual transmission.
• When driving downhill, you may use
Sports Mode and press the paddle
shifters 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 Ecoshift dual
clutch transmission.
CAUTION
• To prevent clutch damage, the
clutch is released and the torque
flow is interrupted. If the clutch is
released, apply the foot brake,
shift into Park and wait several
seconds before driving again.
• Ignoring the warnings can lead to
damage to the transmission.
• If a transmission system problem
occurs, the transmission indica-
tor will blink. If this occurs, take
your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the
system checked.
