2010 Hyundai I10 Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle

•  Slow  down before  shifting  to  a lower
gear. This will  help avoid  over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
Downshifting
WARNING
When you must slow down in  heavy traf-
fic or  while driving up  steep hills,  down-
shift  before  the  engine  starts  to  labor.
Downshifting   reduces   the   chance   of
stalling   and  gives   better  acceleration
when  you again  need  to  increase your
speed.  When   the  vehicle   is  traveling
down   steep  hills,   downshifting   helps
maintain safe speed  and prolongs brake
life.
•  Always buckle-up!   In a collision,
an  unbelted occupant  is  signifi-
cantly more likely to be  seriously
injured  or killed  than  a properly
belted occupant.
•  Slow down  when you encounter cross
winds. This gives you much better con-
trol 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  shift into  reverse,  depress
the clutch, move the  shift lever to neu-
tral,  wait 3  seconds, then  shift  to the
reverse position.
Avoid high  speeds when  corner-
ing or turning.
Do
not   make    quick   steering
wheel movements, such as sharp
lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
The  risk   of   rollover  is   greatly
increased  if  you lose  control  of
your vehicle at highway speeds.

•  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 vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose  traction
and the vehicle to go out of  control.
Good driving practices
Never  take  the  car  out  of  gear  and
coast  down  a  hill.  This  is  extremely
hazardous.  Always  leave   the  car  in
gear.
•  Loss  of  control  often  occurs   if
two or  more wheels  drop off  the
roadway   and   the   driver   over-
steers to reenter the roadway.
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.
•  In  the event  your  vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
•  Never  exceed posted  speed lim-
its.
