2013 Hyundai Elantra Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Ignition key interlock system
Good driving practices
•  Always use  the parking  brake. Do not
depend on  placing  the transaxle  in P
(Park) to keep the car from moving.
•  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.
The  ignition   key   cannot  be   removed
unless  the shift  lever is  in  the P  (Park)
position. Even  if the  ignition switch is  in
the LOCK  position, the  key also  cannot
be removed.
If your vehicle  is equipped with ENGINE
START/STOP button,  the button  will not
change  to the  OFF  position unless  the
shift lever is in the P (Park)  position.
Never move the gear shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other posi-
tion
with
the
accelerator
pedal
depressed.
Never move the  gear shift lever  into P
(Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the  car is completely stopped
before  you   attempt   to  shift   into  R
(Reverse) or D (Drive).
Optimum   vehicle   performance   and
economy   is   obtained   by   smoothly
depressing and releasing the accelera-
tor pedal.
Never  take  the  car  out  of  gear  and
coast   down    a   hill.   This   may   be
extremely hazardous. Always leave the
car in gear when moving.
Do  not   "ride"  the   brakes.  This  can
cause them  to overheat  and malfunc-
tion.  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.
Slow  down before  shifting  to a  lower
gear.  Otherwise, the  lower  gear  may
not be engaged.
