Hyundai Creta: Automatic transaxle / 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
transaxle 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.
Move the shift lever into the P (Park)
position, apply the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch in the
