Using the Clutch
Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has
a conventional shift pattern. This shift
pattern is imprinted 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.
st
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 re-
turning to the original position. Do not
rest your foot on the clutch pedal while
driving. This can cause unnecessary
