2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
During  cold weather,  shifting may
be difficult until  the transaxle lubri-
cant  has warmed  up. This  is nor-
mal    and   not    harmful    to   the
transaxle.
If you've  come to a  complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1 (First) or
R (Reverse),  put  the shift  lever in
neutral  position   and  release  the
clutch. Press the clutch pedal back
down, and  then shift  into 1  (First)
or R (Reverse) gear position.
CAUTION
WARNING
•  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 traf-
fic 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.
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   1
(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 vehi-
cle  movement   can   occur  if
these precautions  are not fol-
lowed in the order identified.
To  prevent  possible  damage
to  the  clutch system,  do  not
start  with   the  2nd   (second)
gear   engaged   except  when
you start on a slippery road.
•  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  posi-
tion.
Do  not use  the  engine brake
(shifting  from  a high  gear  to
lower gear) rapidly on slippery
roads.  The  vehicle   may  slip
causing an accident.
