Hyundai Kona Hybrid 2023 Owner's Manual page 287

When the vehicle is stopped in the D
(Drive) position, if you open the driver's
door with the seat belt unfastened, the
gear shifts to P (Park) automatically.
If the vehicle is moving in D (Drive), the
gear may not automatically shift to P
(Park) to protect the dual clutch
transmission damage.
NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into D (Drive).
CAUTION
When you start after stopping on a steep
incline, even if the gear is in D (Drive), if
you do not depress the accelerator or
brake pedal, the vehicle may roll
backwards, which can cause an accident.
Shift-lock system
For your safety, the dual clutch
transmission has a shift-lock system
which prevents shifting the transmission
from P (Park) or N (Neutral) into R
(Reverse) or D (Drive) unless the brake
pedal is depressed.
To shift from P (Park) or N (Neutral) into R
(Reverse) or D (Drive):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine.
3. Depress the brake pedal and put the
gear in R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
When the battery is discharged:
You cannot shift gears, when the battery
is discharged.
In an emergency:
1. Connect the jumper cables from
another vehicle or from a another
battery to the jump-starting terminals
inside the engine compartment.
For more information, refer to the
"Jump starting" section in chapter 8.
2. Release the Electronic Parking Brake
(EPB) with the Engine Start/Stop button
in the ON position.
3. Shift the gear to the N (Neutral)
position. Refer to the "Jump starting"
section in this chapter.
Parking
Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal.
Shift the gear to P (Park), apply the
parking brake, and press the Engine
Start/Stop button to the OFF position.
Take the Key with you when leaving the
vehicle.
WARNING
• When you stay in the vehicle with the
engine running, be careful not to
depress the accelerator pedal for a
long. 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 components.
• Do not stop or park over flammable
materials, such as dry grass, paper or
leaves. They may ignite and cause a
fire.
