Driving your vehicle
Ignition key interlock system
Good driving practices
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 position 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).
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.

If the shift lever cannot be moved
from the P (Park) or N (Neutral) posi-
tion into R (Reverse) position with
the brake pedal depressed, continue
depressing the brake, then do the fol-
lowing:

Do not "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and mal-
function. Instead, when you are driv-
ing down a long hill, move the shift
lever to sports mode and shift to a
lower gear. When you do this,
engine braking will help slow the car.
When driving in sports mode, slow
down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear
may not be engaged.

Carefully remove the cap (1) cov-
ering the shift-lock access hole.

access hole and press down on
the screwdriver.

Move the shift lever.
Have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
