AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle
has four forward speeds and one reverse speed.
It has a conventional shift pattern as shown in
the illustration. At night, with the multi-function
switch turned on to the parking light or head
light position the appropriate symbol on the shift
pattern indicator will be illuminated according to
the range selected.
CAUTION:
Never shift into “R” or “P” position while
the car is moving.
NOTE:

The selector lever can be shifted freely.
For optimum fuel economy, accelerate gradu-
ally. The transaxle will automatically shift to the
second, third and overdrive gears.
CAUTION:
Never place the selector lever in the "P"
(Park) position unless the vehicle is fully
stopped. Failure to observe this caution will
cause severe damage to the transaxle.

The Function of Each Position is As
Follows:
o P (Park):
Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked or
while starting the engine; shift the selector lever
to the "P" (Park) position. Whenever parking
the car, apply the parking brake and shift the
selector lever to the "P" (Park) position.

o R(Reverse):
Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to
a complete stop before shifting the selector
lever to "R" position.
C090D02A-AAT
o N (Neutral):
In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral,
which means that no gears are engaged. The
engine can be started with the shift lever in "N"
position, although this is not recommended
except if the engine stalls while the car is
moving.
C090E01A-AAT
o D (Drive):
Use for normal driving. The transaxle will auto-
matically shift through a four-gear sequence.
Never downshift manually to "2" position or "L"
position when vehicle speed is more than 60
mph (96 km/h).
