DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2
C090I05A-AAT
CAUTION:
o Shift into "R", "D" and "P" position
only when the vehicle has completely
stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in re-
verse or any of the forward positions
with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when
shifting from "P" or "N", to "R", "D",
"2" or "L" position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) position in
place of the parking brake. Always
set the parking brake, shift the
transaxle into "P" (Park) position and
turn off the ignition when you leave
the vehicle, even momentarily. Never
leave the vehicle unattended while
the engine is running.
o When accelerating from a stop on a
steep hill, the vehicle may have a
tendency to roll backwards. Shifting
the shift lever into 2nd gear will help
prevent the vehicle from rolling back-
wards.
!
o Check the automatic transaxle fluid
level regularly, and add fluid as nec-
essary.
o See the maintenance schedule for
the proper fluid recommendation.

Overdrive Switch
When the overdrive switch is turned on,
the transaxle will automatically upshift to
the second, third and overdrive gears.
When the overdrive switch is turned off,
the transaxle will not upshift to the over-
drive gear. For normal driving, the selec-
tor lever should be left in the "D" position
and the overdrive switch turned on.
If you need to accelerate rapidly, press
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor. The transaxle will automatically shift
to a lower gear, depending on the vehicle
speed and load.
