12 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
o When ascending steep gradients
using large throttle openings, the
transaxle may re-peatedly change
between two adjacent ratios. This is
a normal characteristic and may be
prevented by cancelling the over-
drive facility if the shifting occurs
between third and fourth ratios, se-
lecting position "2" if the shifting
occurs between third and second
ratios or selecting position "1" if the
shifting occurs between first and
second ratios.
o Never move the selector to or from
the "P" or "N" position with the ac-
celerator depressed.
o Ensure that the overdrive switch is
at the "ON" position for maximum
economy.
o The automatic transaxle may be
used to great effect if the vehicle
becomes stuck in snow or mud by
allowing the vehicle to be rocked to
and fro. The engine speed should
be held at approximately 1,000rpm
by means of the accelerator pedal
and the selector lever moved be-
tween the "D" and "R" positions to
induce a rocking motion.

o Turn the overdrive switch on for
goodfueleconomyandsmoothdriv-
ing. But if engine braking is needed
in the "D" range or if repeated up-
shifting and downshifting between
the3rdand4thgearisneededwhen
climbing a gentle slope, it is recom-
mended that the overdrive switch
be turned off. Turn the overdrive
switch back on immediately after-
ward.
The overdrive switch prevents the
transaxle upshifting higher than third
gear when the switch is turned "OFF".
The transaxle will start from rest in first
gear and upshift to second and third
gear depending upon the roadspeed
and throttle opening but will not upshift
to fourth gear. When the overdrive
switch is turned "ON", the transaxle
will start from rest in first gear and will
upshift, depending upon roadspeed
and throttle opening to second, third
and fourth gear. Therefore, when the
overdrive switch is turned "OFF", the
transaxle performs as a three speed
unit and the overdrive warning light

nism will be operated and the
transaxle will automatically down-
shiftaccordingtothevehiclespeed.
