2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 8 AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE C090A02Y-AAT ! WARNING: ! WARNING: o Always buckle-up! In a collision, an unbelted occupant is significantly more likely to be seriously injured or killed than a properly belted occupant. o Avoid high speeds when cornering or turning. o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns. o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds. o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway. o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes. o Never exceed posted speed limits. o If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt to rock the vehicle free by moving it forward and backward. Do not attempt this procedure if people or objects are anywhere near the vehicle. During the rocking operation the vehicle may suddenly move forward or backward as it becomes unstuck, causing injury to nearby people or damage to objects. C090A01E-M The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. It has a conventional shift pattern as shown in the illustration. At night, with the multifunction switch turned on to the parking light or headlight position, the appropriate symbol on the shift pattern indicator will be illuminated according to the range selected. ! CAUTION: Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the vehicle is moving.
