Good driving practices

śꢀ Never move the shift button from

P (Park) or N (Neutral) to any other

position with the accelerator pedal

depressed.

-

When the accelerator pedal is gently

depressed for more than 6 seconds

while driving

śꢀ Never move the shift button into P

-

When the vehicle stops

(Park) when the vehicle is in motion.

Be sure the vehicle is completely

stopped before you attempt to shift

into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).

Information

If the [+] and [-] paddle shifters are pulled

śꢀ Do not shift the gear to N (Neutral)

when driving. If the gear is shifted to

N (Neutral) while driving, the vehicle

loses the ability to provide engine

braking. Doing so may increase the

risk of an accident.

at the same time, gear shift may not occur.

Also, shifting the gear back to

D (Drive) while the vehicle is

moving may severely damage the

transmission.

śꢀ When driving uphill or downhill,

always shift to D (Drive) for driving

forward or shift to R (Reverse) for

driving rearwards. After selecting

D (Drive) or R (Reverse), check the

gear position indicated on the cluster

before driving. If the vehicle moves in

the opposite direction of the selected

gear, the engine may turn off and a

serious accident might occur due to

degraded brake performance.

śꢀ Do not drive with your foot resting

on the brake pedal. Even light, but

consistent pedal pressure can result

in the brakes overheating, brake wear

and possibly even brake failure.

śꢀ When driving with shifter paddles,

slow down before shifting to a lower

gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may

not be engaged if the engine rpms are

outside of the allowable range.

śꢀ Always apply the parking brake when

leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on

placing the transmission in P (Park) to

keep the vehicle from moving.

6-22

06

śꢀ 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.

śꢀ Optimum vehicle performance and

economy is obtained by smoothly

depressing and releasing the

accelerator.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY

or DEATH:

śꢀ ALWAYS wear your seatbelt. In a

collision, an unbelted occupant

is significantly more likely to be

seriously injured or killed than a

properly belted occupant.

śꢀ Avoid high speeds when cornering or

turning.

śꢀ Do not make quick steering wheel

movements, such as sharp lane

changes or fast, sharp turns.

śꢀ The risk of rollover is greatly

increased if you lose control of your

vehicle at highway speeds.

śꢀ Loss of control often occurs if two or

more wheels drop off the roadway

and the driver over steers to reenter

the roadway.

śꢀ In the event your vehicle leaves

the roadway, do not steer sharply.

Instead, slow down before pulling

back into the travel lanes.

śꢀ HYUNDAI recommends you follow all

posted speed limits.
