2016 Hyundai Elantra Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
During  cold weather,  shifting may
be difficult until  the transaxle lubri-
cant is  warmed up. This is  normal
and not harmful to the transaxle.
If you've  come to a  complete stop
and it  is difficult to shift  into 1st or
R (Reverse), leave the shift lever in
the neutral position and release the
clutch.  Depress  the  clutch  pedal
and   then   shift    into   1st   or   R
(Reverse) gear position.
Using the clutch
(Continued)
The clutch  should  be depressed  all
the  way to  the floor  before  shifting,
then   released   slowly.  The   clutch

released  while  driving. Do  not  rest
your  foot on  the  clutch pedal  while
driving. 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.
WARNING
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.
CAUTION
To   avoid   premature    clutch
wear   and   damage,   do   not
drive with your foot resting on
the clutch  pedal. Also, do  not
use   the  clutch   to  hold   the
vehicle  stopped  on  an uphill
grade while  waiting for a  traf-
fic light, etc.
Downshifting
It is important to downshift when you
must  slow down  in  heavy  traffic  or
while driving  up or down  steep hills.
Downshifting reduces  the chance of
stalling and gives better acceleration.
When  the vehicle  is  traveling down
steep hills, downshifting  helps main-
tain safe  speed and  prolongs brake
life.
Do not use the shift  lever as a
handrest   during   driving,  as
this  can  result  in   premature
wear   of  the   transaxle   shift
forks.
