Good 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 into 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 move the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position while driving. This may result in an accident due to loss of engine braking, and the transmission may be damaged.
• 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.
• When driving in sport mode, decelerate before downshifting. Otherwise, the downshift may not engage if the engine speed is outside the allowable range.
• 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.
• Use extreme caution when driving on slippery surfaces. Be especially careful when braking, accelerating, or shifting gears. On slippery surfaces, sudden changes 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.
