C090A01O-GAT
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic
transaxle has four forward speeds and
one reverse speed. The individual speeds
are selected automatically, depending on
the position of the speed selector lever.
The selector lever has 2 gates; the main
gate and the manual gate.
NOTE:
For information on manual gate opera-
tion, refer to "Sports Mode".
In the main gate, the selector lever has 4
positions, and is equipped with a button to
avoid inadvertent selection.
NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal and push
the button when shifting.
Push the button when shifting.
The selector lever can be shifted
freely.
The first few shifts on a new vehicle, or
if the battery has been disconnected,
may be somewhat abrupt. This is a nor-
mal condition, and the shifting sequence
will adjust after shifts are cycled a few
HJM3018
times by the T.C.M (Transaxle Control
Module).

the vehicle is moving.
The indicator lights in the instrument clus-
ter indicate the selector lever position when
the ignition is switched "ON". During "D"
range operation, green lights indicate the
gear currently in use.
