The paddle shifters will operate when the vehicle speed is above 10 km/h.

Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shift once to shift up or down one gear. The system changes from automatic mode to manual mode.

When the vehicle speed is below 10 km/h, if the accelerator pedal is depressed for more than 5 seconds, or if you move the shift lever from D (Drive) to manual shift mode and back from manual shift mode to D (Drive), the system switches from manual mode to automatic mode.

Shift Lock System

For your safety, the dual clutch transmission has a shift-lock system that prevents shifting from P (Park) to R (Reverse) unless the brake pedal is depressed.

To shift from P (Park) to R (Reverse):

1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.

2. Start the engine or turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

3. Move the shift lever.

Shift Lock Release

If the shift lever cannot be moved from P (Park) to R (Reverse) with the brake pedal depressed, continue depressing the brake pedal, then perform the following steps:

1. Turn the ignition key to the LOCK/OFF position.

2. Apply the parking brake.

3. Carefully remove the cap (1) covering the shift-lock release access hole.

4. Insert a tool (such as a flat-blade screwdriver) into the access hole and press on the tool.

5. Move the shift lever while holding the screwdriver down.

6. Remove the tool from the shift-lock release access hole, then install the cap.

7. Depress the brake pedal, then restart the engine.

If you need to use the shift-lock release, we recommend that the system be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI repairer immediately.
