OPERATING THE MANUAL
TRANSAXLE
Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has a con-
ventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is im-
printed on the shift knob. The transaxle is fully
synchronized in all forward gears so shifting to
either a higher or a lower gear is easily accom-
plished.
NOTE:
To shift into reverse, rest the lever in neutral
for at least 3 seconds after your car is
completely stopped. Then move the lever
into the reverse position.
