DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

Sports Mode
HGK175
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion,
sports mode is selected by pushing the selector
lever from the "D" position into the manual gate.
To return to "D" range operation, push the selec-
tor lever back into the main gate.
In sports mode, moving the selector lever back-
wards and forwards can make rapid gearshifts
simple. In contrast to a manual transaxle, the
sports mode allows gearshifts with the accelera-
tor pedal depressed.
UP (+)
: Push the lever forward once to shift up
one gear.
DOWN (-)
: Pull the lever backwards once to shift
down one gear.

o D(Drive):
Use for normal driving. The transaxle will auto-
matically shift through a four gear sequence.
CAUTION:
o In sports mode, the driver must execute
shifts in accordance with prevailing road
conditions, taking care to keep the engine
speed below the red zone.
o For engine protection, upward shifts are
made automatically when the engine rpm
reaches the red zone.
o By rapidly moving the selector lever back-
wards (-) twice it is possible to skip one
gear by using the sports mode. Since
sudden engine braking and/or rapid ac-
celeration can cause a loss of traction,
however, downshifts must be made care-
fully in accordance with the vehicle's
speed.
NOTE:
o In sports mode, only the four forward
gears can be selected. To reverse or park
the vehicle, move the selector lever to the
"R" or "P" position as required.
o In sports mode, downward shifts are made
automatically when the vehicle slows
down. When the vehicle stops, 1st gear is
automatically selected.
o To maintain the required levels of vehicle
performance and safety, the system may
not execute certain gearshifts when the
selector lever is operated.

NOTE:
o For smooth and safe operation, depress
the brake pedal when shifting from "Neu-
tral" position or "Park" position to a for-
ward or reverse gear.
o The ignition key must be in the "ON"
position and the brake pedal fully de-
pressed in order to move the shift lever
from the "P" (Park) position to any of the
other positions.
o It is always possible to shift from "R", "N",
"D" position to "P" position. The vehicle
must be fully stopped to avoid transaxle
damage.
o Before driving away from a stop on a
slippery road, push the selector lever for-
ward into the +(UP) position. This causes
the transaxle to shift into 2nd gear which
is better for smooth driving away on a
slippery road. Push the selector lever to
the -(DOWN) side to shift back to 1st gear.
