The automatic transaxle has 6 forward speeds and one reverse speed. The individual speeds are selected automatically, depending on the position of the shift lever.
✽ NOTICE
The first few shifts on a new vehicle, if the battery has been disconnected, may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and the shifting sequence will adjust after shifts are cycled a few times by the TCM (Transaxle Control Module) or PCM (Powertrain Control Module).
For smooth operation, depress the brake pedal when shifting from N (Neutral) to a forward or reverse gear.
WARNING
WARNING
CAUTION
Transaxle ranges
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop before shifting into P (Park). This position locks the transaxle and prevents the front wheels from rotating.
WARNING
CAUTION
The transaxle may be damaged if you shift into P (Park) while the vehicle is in motion.
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle backward.
CAUTION
Always come to a complete stop before shifting into or out of R (Reverse); you may damage the transaxle if you shift into R (Reverse) while the vehicle is in motion, except as explained in “Rocking the vehicle” in this section.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transaxle are not locked. The vehicle will roll freely even on the slightest incline unless the parking brake or service brakes are applied.
D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving position. The transaxle will automatically shift through a 6-gear sequence, providing the best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another vehicle or climbing grades, depress the accelerator fully, at which time the transaxle will automatically downshift to the next lower gear.
✽ NOTICE
Always ensure vehicle is stationary, at a complete stop, before selecting D (Drive).
Sports mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, sports mode is selected by pushing the shift lever from the D (Drive) position into the manual gate. To return to D (Drive) range operation, push the shift lever back into the main gate.
In sports mode, moving the shift lever backwards and forwards will allow you to make gearshifts rapidly.
Up (+) : Push the lever forward once to shift up one gear.
Down (-) : Pull the lever backwards once to shift down one gear.
DS mode (Drive Sporty)
Ds mode supports the performance mode for driver. To shift the Ds mode, shift the transaxle to Ds mode which is center of sports mode. If you shift [+] or [–] gear, the mode is change to sports mode. The transmission shift is automatically changed at higher engine speeds by engine load, your driving style, vehicle condition.
In Ds mode, while coasting downhill, the engine does not support the vehicle to slow down.
In Ds mode, if you control the paddle shifter, the gear will be changed to sports mode. If the gear is changed to D (Drive), the gear will be changed to D (Drive) mode.
✽ NOTICE
Paddle shifter (if equipped)
The paddle shifter is available when the shift lever is in the D position or the sport mode.
With the shift lever in the D position
The paddle shifter can operate when the vehicle speed is more than 10km/h. Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once to shift up or down one gear and the system changes from automatic mode to manual mode.
If the vehicle speed is lower than 10km/h, if you depress the accelerator pedal for more than 7 seconds or if you shift the shift lever from D to sport mode and shift it from sport mode to D again, the system will change from manual mode to automatic mode.
With the shift lever in the sport mode Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once to shift up or down one gear.
✽ NOTICE
If you pull the [+] and [-] paddle shifters at the same time, you can't shift the gear.
Shift lock system (if equipped)
For your safety, the Double clutch transmission has a shift lock system which prevents shifting the transaxle from P (Park) or N (Neutral) into R (Reverse) unless the brake pedal is depressed. To shift the transaxle from P (Park) or N (Neutral) into 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.
If the brake pedal is repeatedly depressed and released with the shift lever in the P (Park) position, a chattering noise near the shift lever may be heard. This is a normal condition.
WARNING
Always fully depress the brake pedal before and while shifting out of the P (Park) position into another position to avoid inadvertent motion of the vehicle which could injure persons in or around the car.
Shift-lock override (if equipped)
If the shift lever cannot be moved from the P (Park) or N (Neutral) position into R (Reverse) position with the brake pedal depressed, continue depressing the brake, then do the following:
1. Carefully remove the cap covering the shift-lock access hole.
2. Insert
a key (or screwdriver) into the access hole and press down on the key (or screwdriver).
3. Move the shift lever.
4. Have your vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer immediately. Ignition key interlock system (if equipped)
The ignition key cannot be removed unless the shift lever is in the P (Park) position. If the ignition switch is in any other position, the key cannot be removed.
