DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

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 po-
sition.
o During cold weather, shifting may be
difficult until the transaxle lubricant
has warmed up. This is normal and
not harmful to the transaxle.
o If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1 st or
R(Reverse), put the shift lever in
N(Neutral) position and release the
clutch. Press the clutch pedal back
down, and then shift into 1
st or
R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a
handrest during driving, as this can
result in premature wear of the
transaxle shift forks.
!
CAUTION:
o Do not downshift more than 2 gears
or downshift the gear when the en-
gine is running at high speed (5,000
RPM or higher). Such downshifting
may damage the engine.
o When downshifting from fifth gear to
fourth gear, caution should be taken
not to inadvertently press the gear
shift lever sideways in such a man-
ner that second gear is engaged.
Such a drastic downshift may cause
the engine speed to increase to the
point that the tachometer will enter
the red zone. Such over revving of
the engine may possibly cause en-
gine damage.
The shift points as shown above are
recommended for optimum fuel economy
and performance.

Using the Clutch
The clutch should be pressed all the way
to the floor before shifting, then released
slowly. Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal while driving. This can cause un-
necessary wear.
Do not partially engage the clutch to hold
the car on an incline. This causes unnec-
essary wear. Use the parking brake to
hold the car on an incline. Do not operate
the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.
