Hyundai Elantra 2024 Owner's Manual page 242

Driving your vehicle
• When driving downhill, you may use
Sports Mode or press the paddle
shifters (if equipped) 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 dual clutch
transmission.
• During the first 1000 mi. (1,500 km), you
may feel that the vehicle may not be
smooth when accelerating at low
speed. During this break-in period, the
shift quality and performance of your
new vehicle is continuously optimized.
WARNING
In case of transmission failure, you may
not continue to drive and the position
indicator (D, R) on the cluster will blink.
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and have the system checked.
6-22
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into P (Park).
To shift from P (Park), depress the brake
pedal firmly and make sure your foot is
not depressing the accelerator pedal.
If you cannot shift the lever out of P
(Park), refer to the "Shift lock release"
section in this chapter if equipped with a
shift lever.
WARNING
• Shifting into P (Park) while the vehicle is
moving may cause you to lose control
of the vehicle.
• After the vehicle has stopped, always
make sure the shift lever is in P (Park),
apply the parking brake, and turn the
engine off.
• When parking on an incline, shift the
gear to P (Park), apply the parking
brake, and turn the wheels toward the
curb to prevent the vehicle from rolling
downhill.
• Do not use the P (Park) position instead
of the parking brake.
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into or out of (Reverse) to prevent
damaging the transmission.
