Parking; Good Driving Practices - Hyundai i10 Owner's Manual

Parking

To park your vehicle, always come to
a complete stop and continue to
depress the brake pedal.
• When parking on the flat road,
move the shift lever from D
(Drive)/R (Reverse) to N (Neutral)
position. Then, engage the parking
brake firmly before turning off the
engine.
• When parking on a slope, it is rec-
ommended to place the shift lever
in D (Drive) for uphill and R
(Reverse) for downhill and to
engage the parking brake before
turning off the engine.
If the engine was turned off with the
shift lever in D (Drive) or R (Reverse)
position, it is necessary to depress
the brake pedal and move the shift
lever to N (Neutral) position to turn on
the engine. Take the Key with you
when exiting the vehicle.
WARNING
When you stay in the vehicle with
the engine running, be careful not
to depress the accelerator pedal
for a long period of time. The
engine or exhaust system may
overheat and start a fire.
The exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep away
from the exhaust system compo-
nents.
Do not stop or park over flamma-
ble materials, such as dry grass,
paper or leaves. They may ignite
and cause a fire.

Good driving practices

• Never move the shift lever from N
(Neutral) to any other position with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
• Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
• Do not move the shift lever to N
(Neutral) when driving. Doing so
may result in an accident because
of a loss of engine braking and the
transmission could be damaged.
• Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure.
• Depressing both accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time can
trigger logic for engine power
reduction to assure vehicle decel-
eration. Vehicle acceleration will
resume after the brake pedal is
released.
• When driving in Manual shift mode,
slow down before shifting to a
lower gear. Otherwise, the lower
gear may not be engaged if the
engine rpms are outside of the
allowable range.
• Always apply the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis-
sion in N (Neutral) to keep the
vehicle from moving.
