Hyundai Santa Fe: Automatic transmission / Good driving practices
- Never move the shift button from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedal depressed.
- Never move the shift button 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 shift the gear to N (Neutral) when driving. If the gear is shifted
to N (Neutral) while driving, the vehicle loses the ability to provide engine
braking. Doing so may increase the risk of an accident. Also, shifting the gear
back to D (Drive) while the vehicle is moving may severely damage the transmission.
- When driving uphill or downhill, always shift to D (Drive) for driving
forward or shift to R (Reverse) for driving rearwards. After selecting D (Drive)
or R (Reverse), check the gear position indicated on the cluster before driving.
If the vehicle moves in the opposite direction of the selected gear, the engine
may turn off and a serious accident might occur due to degraded brake performance.
- 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 with shifter paddles, 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.
The paddle shifter is available when the shift button is in the D (Drive) position
or the manual shift mode.
