Using the Clutch
The clutch should be pressed all the way to the
floor before shifting, then released slowly. The
clutch pedal should always be used after fully
returning to the original position. Do not rest
your 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.
R(Reverse) gear position.
Do not use the shift lever as a handrest
during driving, as this can result in pre-
mature wear of the transaxle shift forks.
CAUTION:
When downshifting from fifth gear to fourth
gear, caution should be taken not to inad-
vertently press the gear shift lever sideways
in such a manner that second gear is en-
gaged. Such a drastic downshift may cause
the engine speed to increase to the point
that the tachometer will enter the red zone.
Such over-revving of the engine may possi-
bly cause engine damage.

Good Driving Practices
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.
o
Never take the car out of gear and coast
down a hill. This is extremely hazardous.
Always leave the car in gear.
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.
NOTE:
o
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.
During cold weather, shifting may be dif-
ficult until the transaxle lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not harm-
ful to the transaxle.

o
Slow down when you encounter cross winds.
This gives you much better control of your
car.
