DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

6

CAUTION:

o Do not downshift more than 2 gears or

downshift the gear when the engine is

running at high speed (5,000 RPM or

higher). Such a 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 manner

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 engine damage.

o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest

during driving, as this can result in

premature wear of the transaxle shift

forks.

When shifting into reverse gear, pull the

mis-shift prevention tab (1) and shift into

reverse gear position.

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

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 1st 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 1st or R(Reverse) gear

position.

OPERATING THE MANUAL

TRANSAXLE (5 SPEED M/T)

C070A01NF-AAT

This shift pattern is imprinted on the shift

knob. The transaxle is fully synchronized

in all forward gears so shifting to either a

higher or a lower gear is easily

accomplished.
