CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse
gear when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector
mechanism, do not use the gear
shift lever as a hand rest. Release
the lever immediately the shift is
completed.
o To avoid premature clutch wear,
do not use the clutch pedal as a
foot rest, and do not hold the
vehicle on a gradient using the
clutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not
over-revved by upshifting before
the tachometer needle enters the
red zone.
o Do not coast with the shift lever
at the neutral position.
o When descending long gradi-
ents, make use of the engine brak-
ing to assist the footbrake to
avoid brake fade or over-heating.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
o When slippery conditions are en-
countered, increased caution
should be exercised when gear
changing, braking or ac-
celerating. Abrupt changes in
speed may cause a loss of trac-
tion or control of the vehicle.
o During cold weather, shifting may
be difficult until the transaxle lu-
bricant has warmed up. This is
normal and not harmful to the
transaxle.
o If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1st or
R(Reverse), put the shift lever in
N(Neutral) position and let up on
the clutch. Press the clutch pedal
back down, and then shift into
1st or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a
handrest during driving, as this
can result in premature wear of
the transaxle shift forks.
