Hyundai Kona: Dual clutch transmission / Good driving practices
- Never move the shift lever from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to any other position
with the accelerator pedal depressed.
- Never move the shift lever into P (Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into R
(Reverse) or D (Drive).
- Do not move the shift lever to N (Neutral) when driving. Doing so may
result in an accident because of a loss of engine braking and the transmission
could be damaged.
- Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can result in the brakes overheating, brake wear and
possibly even brake failure.
- When driving in manual shift mode, slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may not be engaged if the engine rpms are outside
of the allowable range.
- Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not depend
on placing the transmission in P (Park) to keep the vehicle from moving.
- 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.
- Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly depressing
and releasing the accelerator.
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.
Information - Kickdown Mechanism (if equipped)
Use the kickdown mechanism for maximum acceleration. Depress the accelerator
pedal beyond the pressure point. The dual clutch transmission will shift to a lower
gear depending on the engine speed.
Always come to a complete stop and continue to depress the brake pedal. Move
the shift lever into the P (Park) position, apply the parking brake, and place the
ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF positi ...
