DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

C090B02A-AAT
The Function of Each Position Is
As Follows:
o P (Park):
Use to hold the vehicle in place when
parking or while starting the engine.
Whenever parking the car, apply the
parking brake and shift the selector
lever to the "P" (Park) position.
!
CAUTION:
Never place the selector lever in the
"P" (Park) position unless the ve-
hicle is fully stopped. Failure to
observe this caution will cause se-
vere damage to the transaxle.
C090C01A-AAT
o R (Reverse):
Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring
the car to a complete stop before shift-
ing 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" posi-
tion, although this is not recommended
except if the engine stalls while the car
is moving.
C090E01A-GAT
o D (Drive):
Use for normal driving. The transaxle
will automatically shift through a four-
gear sequence. Never downshift manu-
ally to "2" position or "L" position when
vehicle speed is more than 95 km/h
(60 mph).
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
exceeds a certain value to prevent the
engine from over-revving. Manually
move the selector to "D" returning to
normal driving condition.
