Proper Driving Practices

• Never move the shift lever from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to any other position while the accelerator pedal is depressed.
• Never shift the shift lever to P (Park) while the vehicle is moving.
• Make sure the vehicle is completely stopped before attempting to shift into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
• Do not shift into N (Neutral) while the vehicle is moving. This may result in an accident due to loss of engine braking.
• Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light but constant pressure on the pedal may cause the brakes to overheat, wear prematurely, and possibly even fail.
• Do not hold the vehicle on a slope with the accelerator pedal. This may cause the transmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or the parking brake.
• Pressing the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time may activate engine output reduction logic to slow the vehicle. Vehicle acceleration will resume after the brake pedal is released.
• Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not rely on shifting the transmission to P (Park) to keep the vehicle from moving.
• Exercise extreme caution when driving on slippery surfaces. Be especially careful when braking, accelerating, or shifting gears. On slippery surfaces, a sudden change in vehicle speed may cause the drive wheels to lose traction with the road, which may result in loss of vehicle control and an accident.
• Optimum vehicle performance and fuel economy are achieved by pressing and releasing the accelerator pedal smoothly.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a crash, an unbelted passenger is much more likely to be seriously injured or killed than a properly belted passenger.
• Avoid high speeds when driving through curves or turns.
• Do not make sudden steering movements, such as quick lane changes or rapid, sharp turns.
• The risk of rollover increases significantly if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds.
• Loss of control often occurs when two or more wheels slide off the paved surface and the driver steers to return to the road.
• If your vehicle leaves the paved surface, do not steer sharply. Instead, brake gently before returning to the lane.
• HYUNDAI recommends observing all posted speed limits.
