2013 Hyundai Tucson 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 or R (Reverse),
put the  shift lever  in N  (Neutral) posi-
tion and  release the  clutch. Press the
clutch pedal back down, and then  shift
into 1st 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  vehicle  on  an  incline. This  causes
unnecessary wear. Use the foot brake  or
parking brake  to hold  the vehicle  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  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 precautions 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
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.
CAUTION
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.
