Hyundai Genesis: Automatic 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.
- Depressing both accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time can
trigger logic for engine power
reduction to assure vehicle deceleration.
Vehicle acceleration will
resume after the brake pedal is
released.
- When driving in Sports 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 seatbelt.
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.
Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal.
