Using the Clutch
shift into reverse, depress the clutch, move
the shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds,
then shift to the reverse position.
Exercise extreme caution when driving on a
slippery surface. Be especially careful when
braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change in ve-
hicle speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to go out of
control.

Recommended Shift Points

floor before shifting, then released slowly. The
clutch pedal should always be used after fully
returningtotheoriginalposition.Donotrestyour
foot on the clutch pedal while driving. This can
cause unnecessary wear.
Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the car
on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear.
Use the parking brake to hold the car on an
incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly
and repeatedly.

Good Driving Practices
o
Never take the car out of gear and coast
down a hill. This is extremely hazardous.
Always leave the car in gear.
o
o
Always wear your seat belts.
The risk of rollover is greatly increased if
you lose control of your vehicle at high-
way speeds.
Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway and
the driver oversteers to reenter the road-
way.
In the event your vehicle leaves the road-
way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into the travel
lanes.
In a collision crash, un unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seatbelt.
o
Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them
to overheat and malfunction. Instead, when
you are driving down a long hill, slow down
and shift to a lower gear. When you do this,
engine braking will help slow the car.
Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.
This will help avoid over-revving the engine,
which can cause damage.
Slowdownwhenyouencountercrosswinds.
This gives you much better control of your
car.
Be sure the car is completely stopped before
you attempt to shift into reverse. The
transaxle can be damaged if you do not. To

Automotive readers have rated 2003 Hyundai Sonata Owners Manual 3.6 out of 4.0 based on 7 product reviews. Just bought the 2003 Sonata on Craig's List and easily found a manual to assist with the "trial & error" method. Thanks.
