Good Driving Practices

• Never move the shift lever out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) into another position while the accelerator pedal is depressed.
• Never shift the shift lever into P (Park) while the vehicle is moving. Wait until the vehicle has come to a complete stop before shifting into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
• Do not shift the shift lever to N (Neutral) while driving. Failure to follow this instruction may result in an accident due to loss of engine braking and damage to the transmission.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving. Keeping pressure on the brake pedal, even light pressure, may cause overheating, excessive wear, and even brake failure.
• In Sport mode, brake before downshifting. If you do not brake, you will not be able to downshift unless the engine tachometer is within the permitted range.
• Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not rely solely on shifting to P (Park) to immobilize the vehicle.
• Drive carefully on slippery surfaces. Be especially careful when braking, accelerating, or shifting. On slippery surfaces, a sudden change in vehicle speed may cause a crash due to loss of traction at the driving wheels and loss of vehicle control.
• For optimum performance and fuel economy, avoid rapid acceleration and sudden release of the accelerator pedal.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a crash, an unbelted passenger is at greater risk of serious injury or death than a properly restrained passenger.
• Avoid driving too fast when entering or going through curves.
• Avoid sudden steering maneuvers, such as sharp lane changes or quick, sharp turns.
• The risk of rollover increases sharply if you lose control of your vehicle at high speed.
• Loss of control often occurs when two or more wheels leave the road and the driver oversteers in an attempt to return the vehicle to the road.
• If your vehicle leaves the road, do not steer sharply. Instead, brake gently before returning the vehicle to the road.
• HYUNDAI recommends observing speed limits.

Information — Sport Mode Mechanism

Use the Sport mode feature for maximum acceleration. Fully depress the accelerator pedal. The automatic transmission downshifts depending on engine speed.
