2012 Hyundai I30 Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
MANUAL TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
Manual transaxle operation
The  manual   transaxle   has  6   forward
gears.
CAUTION
When    downshifting    from    5th
(Fifth)  gear to  4th  (Fourth)  gear,
caution  should  be  taken  not  to
inadvertently move the shift lever
sideways  in such  a  manner that
second gear  is  engaged. 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  and  transaxle
damage.
Do  not   downshift  more  than   2
gears or downshift the gear when
the   engine  is   running   at  high
speed   (5,000   RPM   or  higher).
Such a downshifting may damage
the engine and transaxle.
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.
Depress the clutch pedal down fully while
shifting, then release it slowly.
If your  vehicle is  equipped with  an igni-
tion lock system, the engine will not start
when
starting
the
engine
without
depressing the clutch pedal.
The shift lever can be moved without
pulling the button (1).
The shift lever must return  to the Neutral
position before shifting into R (Reverse).
The button (1) located immediately below
the  shift  knob  must  be  pulled  upward
while  moving  the   shift  lever  to  the  R
(Reverse) position.
Make  sure   the   vehicle  is   completely
stopped before shifting into R (Reverse).
Never   operate   the   engine    with   the
tachometer (rpm) in the red zone.
The button (1) must be pulled up
while moving the shift lever.

The actual shift lever in the vehicle  may
differ from the illustration.
•  When  shifting  from  5th  gear  to
6th gear  or  from 6th  gear  to 5th
gear,  push the  shift  lever  to the
right   while  shifting.   Otherwise,
the shift  lever might move  to 3rd
gear or 4th  gear and it  may dam-
age the engine and transaxle.
