Hyundai Kona: Manual transmission / Good driving practices
- Never take the vehicle out of gear and coast down a hill. This is extremely
dangerous.
- Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause the brakes and related parts to
overheat and malfunction. When you are driving down a long hill, slow down and
shift to a lower gear. Engine braking will help slow down the vehicle.
- Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
- Slow down when you encounter cross winds. This gives you much better control
of your vehicle.
- Be sure the vehicle is completely stopped before you shift into R (Reverse)
to prevent damage to the transmission.
- 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 may cause loss of vehicle control resulting in an accident.
WARNING
Do not use aggressive engine braking (shifting from a higher gear to a lower
gear) on slippery roads. This could cause the tires to slip and may result in an
accident.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
- ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a collision, an unbelted occupant is
significantly more likely to be seriously injured or killed than a properly
belted occupant.
- Avoid high speeds when cornering or turning.
- Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes
or fast, sharp turns.
- The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
- Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver over steers to reenter the roadway.
- In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.
- HYUNDAI recommends you follow all posted speed limits.
The clutch pedal should be depressed all the way to the floor before:
- Starting the engine The engine will not start without depressing the clutch
pedal. - Shifting into gear, up shifting to the nex ...
