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. Whenever parking the
car, apply the parking brake and shift the selector
lever to the "P" (Park) position.
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.
C090C01A-AAT
o R(Reverse):
Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to a
complete stop before shifting the selector lever to
"R" position.
C090D02O-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 ex-
cept if the engine stalls while the car is moving.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle
has four forward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected automatical-
ly, depending on the position of the speed selec-
tor lever. The selector lever has 2 gates; the main
gate and the manual gate.
NOTE:
For information on manual gate operation,
refer to "Sports Mode".
In the main gate, the selector lever has 4 posi-
tions, and is equipped with a button to avoid
inadvertent wrong selection.
NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal and push the
button when shifting.
Push the button when shifting.
The selector lever can be shifted freely.
The first few shifts on a new vehicle, or if the
battery has been disconnected, may be some-
what abrupt. This is a normal condition, and
the shifting sequence will adjust after shifts
are cycled a few times by the T.C.M (Trans-
mission Control Module).
CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the
vehicle is moving.
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster
indicate the selector lever position when the
ignition is switched "ON". During "D" or sports
mode operation, the gear currently in use dis-
plays in the numeral indicator.
