2012 Hyundai I30 Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Good driving practices
WARNING
Never take the vehicle  out of gear and
coast  down  a  hill.  This  is  extremely
hazardous. Always leave the vehicle in
gear.
•  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.
•  Avoid high  speeds when  corner-
ing or turning.
Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause
them   to  overheat   and   malfunction.
Instead, when  you are driving  down a
long  hill, shift  to  a  lower gear.  When
you  do  this, engine  braking  will  help
slow down the vehicle.
•  Do
not   make    quick   steering
wheel movements, such as sharp
lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
Slow  down before  shifting  to a  lower
gear. This will  help avoid  over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
Slow down when  you encounter cross
winds. This gives you much better con-
trol of your vehicle.
Be   sure  the   vehicle   is  completely
stopped before you attempt to shift into
R  (Reverse).  The   transaxle  can   be
damaged if  you do not. To  shift into R
(Reverse),  depress  the  clutch,  move
the shift  lever to  Neutral, then  shift to
the R (Reverse) position.
•  The   risk  of   rollover  is   greatly
increased  if  you lose  control  of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
•  Loss  of  control  often  occurs   if
two or  more wheels  drop off  the
roadway   and   the   driver   over-
steers to reenter the roadway.
•  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.
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.
