Sports Mode
HGK3027-E
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, sports mode is selected by
pushing the selector lever from the "D"
position into the manual gate. To re-
turn to "D" range operation, push the
selector lever back into the main gate.
In sports mode, moving the selector
lever backward and forward can make
rapid gearshifts simple. In contrast to a
manual transaxle, the sports mode al-
lows gearshifts with the accelerator
pedal depressed.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
UP (+) : Push the selector lever forward
once to shift up one gear.
DOWN (-) : Pull the selector lever back-
wards once to shift down one gear.
!
CAUTION:
o In sports mode, the driver must
execute shifts in accordance with
prevailing road conditions, tak-
ing care to keep the engine speed
below the red zone.
o For engine protection, upward
shifts are made automatically
when the engine rpm reaches the
red zone.
o By rapidly moving the selector
lever backwards (-) twice it is
possible to skip one gear by us-
ing the sports mode. Since sud-
den engine braking and/or rapid
acceleration can cause a loss of
traction, however, downshifts
must be made carefully in accor-
dance with the vehicle's speed.
