Automatic Transaxle Operation; Transaxle Ranges - Hyundai 2010 ELANTRA TOURING Owner's Manual

Automatic transaxle operation

The automatic transaxle has 4 forward
speeds and one reverse speed. The indi-
vidual speeds are selected automatically,
depending on the position of the shift
lever.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The first few shifts on a new vehicle, if
the battery has been disconnected, may
be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal
condition, and the shifting sequence will
adjust after shifts are cycled a few times
by the TCM (Transaxle Control
Module) or PCM (Powertrain Control
Module).
For smooth operation, depress the brake
pedal when shifting from N (Neutral) to a
forward or reverse gear.
WARNING

• Always check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for peo-
ple, especially children, before
putting a car into D (Drive) or R

• Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position; then
set the parking brake fully and
shut the engine off. Unexpected

can occur if these precautions
are not followed in the order iden-
tified.
Driving your vehicle

Transaxle 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 into P (Park). This position locks
the transaxle and prevents the front
wheels from rotating.
