2012 Hyundai I30 Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
During  cold weather,  shifting  may  be
difficult until the transaxle lubricant has
warmed  up.  This  is  normal  and  not
harmful to the transaxle.
If you've come to  a complete stop and
it's  hard  to shift  into  1st  (First)  or  R
(Reverse),   leave   the  shift   lever   at
Neutral position and release the clutch.
Depress the  clutch  pedal back  down,
and  then   shift  into  1st  (First)   or  R
(Reverse) gear position.
Using the clutch
WARNING
The clutch should be pressed all the way
to the floor before shifting, then  released
slowly.The clutch pedal should always be
fully released  while  driving. Do  not rest
your foot  on the clutch  pedal while  driv-
ing. This  can cause  unnecessary  wear.
Do not partially engage the clutch to hold
the car on an incline. This causes unnec-
essary wear. Use the  foot brake or park-
ing brake to hold the car on an incline. Do
not operate  the clutch pedal  rapidly and
repeatedly.
Before  leaving the  driver’s  seat,
always set the parking brake fully
and  shut   the  engine   off.  Then
make sure the transaxle is shifted
into  1st   (First)   gear  when   the
vehicle  is  parked  on  a  level  or
uphill  grade,  and shifted  into  R
(Reverse)  on  a   downhill  grade.
Unexpected  and  sudden vehicle
movement can occur if these pre-
cautions  are not  followed  in the
order identified.
If   your  vehicle   has   a   manual
transaxle   not  equipped   with  a
ignition lock switch,  it may move
and   cause  a   serious   accident
when starting the  engine without
depressing the clutch pedal while
the parking brake is released and
the shift  lever  not in  the Neutral
position.
CAUTION
To  avoid  premature  clutch  wear
and  damage,  do  not  drive   with
your  foot  resting  on   the  clutch
pedal. Also,  don’t use  the clutch
to hold the vehicle stopped on an
uphill  grade, while  waiting  for  a
traffic light, etc.
Do  not  use  the  shift  lever  as  a
handrest  during  driving,  as  this
can  result  in premature  wear  of
the transaxle shift forks.
When operating the  clutch pedal,
press the clutch pedal down fully.
If you don't press the clutch pedal
fully, the clutch  may be damaged
or noise may occur.
CAUTION
When  operating  the  clutch  pedal,
depress the clutch pedal down fully.
If   you  don’t   depress   the  clutch
pedal fully, the  clutch may be  dam-
aged or noise may occur.
Downshifting
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  need  to increase  your speed
again.When the vehicle is traveling down
steep  hills, downshifting  helps  maintain
safe speed and prolongs brake life.
