DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 7
C090A01L-GAT
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
(4A/T, 5A/T)
HXG065
In the main gate, selector lever has 4/
5 positions, and is equipped with a
button to avoid inadvertent wrong se-
lection.
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 ve-
hicle, or if the battery has been
taken away and reinstalled, may be
somewhat abrupt. This is a normal
condition, and the shifting se-
quence will become normal after
shifts are cycled a few times by
T.C.M (Transaxle Control Module).
o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-
cially careful when braking, acceler-
ating or shifting gears. On a slippery
surface, an abrupt change in ve-
hicle speed can cause the drive
wheels to lose traction and the ve-
hicle to go out of control.
WARNING:
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off the
roadway and the driver oversteers
to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pull-
ing back into the travel lanes.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely
to die than a person wearing a
seatbelt.
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic
transaxle has four/five forward speeds
and one reverse speed. The individual
speeds are selected automatically,
depending on the position of the speed
selector 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".
