Driving your vehicle
Downshifting
CAUTION
When you must slow down in heavy
traffic or while driving up steep hills,
downshift before the engine starts to
labor. Downshifting reduces the
chance of stalling and gives better
acceleration when you again need to
increase your speed. When the vehi-
cle is traveling down steep hills,
downshifting helps maintain safe
speed and prolongs brake life.
This vehicle is geared for improved
fuel economy and may need to be
driven in a lower gear when driving
up hills or into high winds. Using top
gear is best for fuel economy, but you
should use the best gear for the road
conditions.
•
•
If you try to shift to the 1st
gear too quickly, it is possible
to shift to R (Reverse) instead
of 1st gear.
Before driving, check that the
warning chime operates once,
when you press the brake
pedal and shift to R (Reverse).
If the warning chime does not
operate when you shift to R
(Reverse), contact an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
OBK059013
Shifting to R (Reverse)
This
manual
transmission
is
designed with a detent to differenti-
ate 1st and R (Reverse) gear. To
shift into reverse, you must shift past
1st gear and the detent in order to
get into the R (Reverse) gear gate.
•
•
Before driving you should
learn how to shift to
R
(
Reverse), to 1st gear or 2nd
gear.
Shift to R only when the vehi-
cle is stationary. When the
shift lever is pressed to the
left, a slight resistance has to
be overcome.
•
R(Reverse) is located to the left
side of the 1st gear.
•
After the vehicle is stoped, push the
shift lever to the left side of the 1st
gear past the detent then push the
shift lever upward. The warning
chime operates once.
