DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
C090H01L-GAT
NOTE:
o For smooth and safe operation,
depress the brake pedal when
shifting from "Neutral" position
or "Park" position to a forward or
reverse gear.
o The ignition key must be in the
"ON" position and the brake pedal
fully depressed in order to move
the shift lever from the "P" (Park)
position to any of the other posi-
tions.
o It is always possible to shift from
"R", "N", "D" position to "P" po-
sition. The vehicle must be fully
stopped to avoid transaxle dam-
age.
C090I01L-GAT
CAUTION:
o Shift into "R" and "P" position
only when the vehicle has com-
pletely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in
reverse or any of the forward
positions with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when
shifting from "P" or "N", to "R" or
"D" position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) posi-
tion in place of the parking brake.
Always set the parking brake,
shift the transaxle into "P" (Park)
position and turn off the ignition
when you leave the vehicle, even
momentarily. Never leave the ve-
hicle unattended while the en-
gine is running.
o Check the automatic transaxle
fluid level regularly, and add fluid
as necessary.
o See the maintenance schedule
for the proper fluid reco-
mendation.

Good Driving Practices
o Never move the gear selector lever
from "P" or "N" to any other position
with the accelerator pedal de-
pressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever
into "P" when the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
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 ex-
tremely hazardous. Always leave
the car in gear when moving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and mal-
function. Instead, when you are driv-
ing down a long hill, slow down and
shift to a lower gear. When you do
this, engine braking will help slow
the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may
not be engaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do
not depend on placing the transaxle
in "P" to keep the car from moving.
