Hyundai Elantra: Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) Operation / Shift-lock system & release

Shift-lock system

To shift the transmission from P (Park) into R (Reverse):

1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.

2. Start the engine or place the ignition switch in the ON position.

3. Move the shift lever.
