OPERATING THE MANUAL
TRANSMISSION
Your Hyundai's manual transmission has a con-
ventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is im-
printed on the shift knob. The transmission is fully
synchronized in all forward gears so shifting to
either a higher or a lower gear is easily accom-
plished.
NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the lever in
neutral for at least 3 seconds after your
car is completely stopped. Then move the
lever into the reverse position.
o During cold weather, shifting may be dif-
ficult until the transmission lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not harm-
ful to the transmission.
o If you 've come to a complete stop and it's
hard to shift into 1st or R(Reverse), put the
SSA2090A
NOTE:
If the engine were not started within 2 sec-
onds after the preheating is completed, turn
the ignition key once more to the "LOCK"
position during 10 seconds, and then to the
"ON" position, in order to preheat again.
5. Operate the accelerator pedal as described
below in accordance with the atmospheric
temperature and/or engine condition. (Diesel
Engine (2.5 TCI) Only)
(1) When the atmospheric temperature is
moderate or the engine is warm:
Start the engine without depressing the
accelerator pedal.
(2) When the atmospheric temperature is
low and the engine is cold:
Start the engine while depressing the
accelerator pedal. If the atmospheric tem-
perature is very low, setting the ignition
switch to "ON" for one or two seconds
before attempting to start the engine will
make it easier to start.
6. Turn the ignition key to the "START" position
and release it when the engine starts.

several seconds before it is driven to ensure
sufficient lubrication of the turbo charger unit.
(2) After high speed or extended driving, requir-
ing a heavy engine load, the engine should be
allowed to idle, as shown in the chart below,
before turning it off.
