DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2 9 C090J01NF-GAT SHIFT LOCK RELEASE If you need to use the shift lock release, it could mean your car is developing a problem. Have the car checked by your Hyundai dealer. C090N04O-AAT Good Driving Practices o Never move the gear selector lever from "P" or "N" to any other position with the accelerator pedal depressed. o Never move the gear selector lever into "P" when the vehicle is in motion. o Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into "R". o Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear when moving. o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction. Instead, when you are driving down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car. o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may not be engaged. o Always use the parking brake. Do not depend on placing the transaxle in "P" to keep the car from moving. o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful when braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control. o Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly depressing and releasing the accelerator pedal. C090J01TG If you cannot move the shift lever from the "P" (Park) position to any other position with the brake pedal fully depressed and the ignition key in the "ON" position, remove the cap on the console and with a thin object such as a flat-head screwdriver, push the shift lock release button down. Then, with the brake pedal depressed, move the shift lever to the desired position, and then the shift lock release button will automatically return to its original position after shifting from the "P" (Park) position. Then, reinstall the cap. ! WARNING: o Avoid high cornering speeds. o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns. o Always wear your seat belts. In a collision, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds.
