2015 Hyundai Grand I10 Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Downshifting
Good driving practices
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the engine:
Downshift when  you must  slow down  in
heavy  traffic or  drive  up a  steep  hill to
prevent engine load.
Never take the vehicle  out of gear and
coast  down  a  hill.  This  is  extremely
dangerous.
•  When downshifting from 5th gear
to 4th gear, be careful not to inad-
vertently   push   the   shift   lever
sideways engaging the 2nd gear.
A  drastic  downshift   may  cause
the  engine  speed  to  increase  to
the  point     the   tachometer   will
enter the red-zone.
Also, downshifting reduces the chance of
stalling  and  can   accelerate  when  you
need to increase your speed again.
Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause
the  brakes and  related parts  to  over-
heat and malfunction.
When   the  vehicle   is   going  downhill,
downshifting helps  maintain  safe speed
by providing brake power from the engine
and enables less wear on the brakes.
When you are driving down  a long hill,
slow  down and  shift  to a  lower  gear.
Engine braking will help slow down the
vehicle.
Do not downshift more than one
gear  at  a  time  or  downshift  the
gear when the engine is running
at high speed (5,000 RPM or high-
er).
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
before   you    shift   into    R
stopped
(Reverse)  to  prevent  damage  to  the
transaxle.
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 may  cause loss of  vehicle control
resulting in an accident
