DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2 11 C090I05A-AAT C090P01A-AAT ! CAUTION: o Shift into "R", "D" and "P" position only when the vehicle has completely stopped. o Do not accelerate the engine in reverse 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 backwards. o Check the automatic transaxle fluid level regularly, and add fluid as necessary. o See the maintenance schedule for the proper fluid recommendation. Overdrive Switch OMC035016 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 overdrive gear. For normal driving, the selector 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.
