DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

C090H01A-AAT
NOTE:
o For smooth and safe operation, de-
press the brake pedal when shifting
from "Neutral" position or "Park"
position to a forward or reverse gear.
o The ignition key must be in the "ON"
position and the brake pedal fully
depressed in order to move the shift
lever from the "P" (Park) position to
any of the other positions.
o It is always possible to shift from
"R", "N", "D", "2", "L" position to "P"
position.
C090G01A-AAT
o L (Low gear):
Use for driving up a very steep grade or
for engine braking when descending
steep hills. When downshifting to "L", the
transaxle will temporarily remain in sec-
ond gear until the vehicle has slowed
enough for low gear to engage. Do not
exceed 31 mph (50 km/h) in low gear.
C090F01A-AAT
o 2 (Second gear):
Use for driving on a slippery road, hill
climbing or engine braking downhill. "2"
automatically shifts between first and
second gears.
This means that no shift-up to 3rd gear is
performed. However, the shift-up to third
gear is done when the car speed ex-
ceeds a certain value to prevent the en-
gine from over-revving.
Manually move the selector to "D" return-
ing to normal driving condition.
C090C01A-AAT
o R(Reverse):
Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the
car to a complete stop before shifting the
selector lever to "R" position.
C090D02A-AAT
o N (Neutral):
In the "N" position, the transaxle is in
neutral position, which means that no
gears are engaged. The engine can be
started with the shift lever in "N" position,
although this is not recommended except
if the engine stalls while the car is mov-
ing.
C090E02A-AAT
o D (Drive):
Use for normal driving. Bring the car to a
complete stop before shifting the selector
to "D" position. The transaxle will auto-
matically shift through a four-gear se-
quence. Never downshift manually to "2"
position or "L" position when vehicle
speed is more than 60 mph (96 km/h).
