DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 7
C090H01HP-DAT
CAUTION:
o P (Park):
Use this range to park the vehicle. This range
is also used when engine is started and
warmed up.
o N (Neutral):
The engine can be started in this range, but
the use of "P" range is recommended for
safer start up.
NOTE:
o For smooth operation, depress the brake
pedal when shifting from NEUTRAL or
PARK to a forward 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", "2", "L" positions to "P" position.
However, the vehicle must be fully stopped
to avoid transmission damage.
C090I01HP-GAT
CAUTION:
o Shift into "R" and "P" position only when
the vehicle has completely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in the re-
verse or any of the forward positions with
the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when shifting
from "P" or "N" to "R", "D", "2" or "L"
position.
o Do not use the P(Park) position in place of
the parking brake. Always set the parking
brake, shift the transmission into P(Park)
and turn off the ignition when you leave
the vehicle, even momentarily.
Never leave the vehicle unattended while
the engine is running.
o Check the automatic transmission fluid
level regularly, and add fluid as neces-
sary.
When the overdrive switch is turned on, the
transmission will automatically upshift to the sec-
ond, third and overdrive gears. When the over-
drive switch is turned off, the transmission will
not upshift to the overdrive gear at all.

Good Driving Practices
o Never move the gear selector lever from "P"
or "N" to any other position with the acceler-
ator pedal depressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever into "P"
when the vehicle is in motion.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped before
you attempt to shift into "R".
o Never take the car out of gear and coast down
a hill. This may be extremely hazardous.
Always leave the car in gear when moving.
For normal driving, the selector lever should be
left in the "D" position and the overdrive switch
turned on.
If you need to accelerate rapidly, press the accel-
erator pedal all the way to the floor. The transmis-
sion will automatically shift to a lower gear,
depending on the speed.
NOTE:
Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel
economy and smooth driving. If engine brak-
ing is needed in the "D" range or if repeated
upshifting and downshifting between the 3rd
and 4th gear is needed when climbing a
gentle slope, it is recommended that the over-
drive switch be turned off. Turn the overdrive
switch back on immediately afterward.
