DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 9
C350A01HP-GAT Part-time 4WD operation
1. Knob position This is used to set different positions. 2H(Rear-wheel drive) When driving on normal roads and highway. 4H(High range 4-wheel drive) When driving off-road, wet or snow-covered roads with normal speed. The 4WD engaged indicator light ( ) will be turned on to remind you that you are in the 4H mode. 4L(Low range 4-wheel drive) Use "4L" for climbing or descending steep hills, off-road driving, and towing the vehicle. Especially when increased drive power is re- quired. The 4WD LOW indicator light ( ) will be turned on to remind you that you are in the 4L mode.
2. Transfer shift knob operation By turning the transfer shift knob(4H, 4L), both axles of the vehicle are rigidly connected with each other. This improves the traction character- istics.2H

4H
Turn the transfer shift knob from the 2H mode tothe 4H mode at speed below 80 km/h. It is not necessary to depress the clutch pedal (Manual Transmission) or put the shift lever into "N(neutral)" position (Automatic Transmission). Perform this operation when driving straight.
4H

2H
Turn the transfer shift knob from the 4H mode to the 2H mode at speed below 80 km/h. It is not necessary to depress the clutch pedal (Manual Transmission) or put the shift lever into "N(neutral)" position (Automatic Transmission). Perform this operation when driving straight.
C350A01HP
D090E01HP-GAT Driving Four-wheel drive safely
o The driving posture should be more uprightand closer to the wheel than usual; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation.
o Be sure to wear the seat belt.
o Drive carefully when off the road and avoid dangerous areas.
o 4WD has higher ground clearance and a
narrower track to make them capable of per-forming in a wide variety of off road applica- tions. Specific design characteristics give them a higher center of gravity than ordinary cars. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you to anticipate problems. They are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as 4H


4L
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Depress the clutch pedal (Manual Transmis- sion) or put the shift lever into "N (neutral)"position (Automatic Transmission).
3. Select the 4L mode.
4L

4H
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Depress the clutch pedal (Manual Transmis- sion) or put the shift lever into "N (neutral)"position (Automatic Transmission).
3. Select the 4H mode.
CAUTION: Do not select 4WD (4H or 4L) mode on dry paved roads. Especially on dry high way, never select the 4WD mode. Four-wheel driving on dry paved roads for a long period will increase the fuel consump- tion with possible noise generation and early tire wear. In addition, differential oil temper- ature increases with possible driving system part wear.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 12 C130A01HP-GAT GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES WARNING: Nothing should be carried on top of the cargo area cover behind the rear seat. If there were an accident or a sudden stop, such objects could move forward and cause damage to the vehicle or injure the occupants.
o After being parked, check to be sure the
parking brake is not engaged and that the parking brake indicator light is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the brakes
wet. They can also get wet when the car is washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet brakes cause the car to pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the braking action returns to nor- mal, taking care to keep the car under control at all times. If the braking action does not return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your Hyundai dealer for assis- tance.
o Don’t coast down hills with the car out of gear.
This is extremely hazardous. Keep the car in gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down, then shift to a lower gear so that engine braking will help you maintain a safe speed.
D190A01O-GAT LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (If installed) A limited-slip differential, if equipped, is for the rear wheel differential only. The features of this limited-slip differential are described below: Just as with a conventional differential, the wheel on one side is allowed to turn at a different speed from the wheel on the other side when the vehicle is cornering. The difference between the limited- slip differential and a conventional differential is that if the wheel on one side of the vehicle loses traction, a greater amount of torque is applied to the rear wheel on the other side to improve traction.
WARNING:Keep away from the front of the vehicle while inspecting. This is very dangerous as the vehicle can jump forward and cause serious injury or death.
(9) When using tire chains, always attach them
to the rear wheels.
(10) I f the front or rear wheels get stuck in the
mud, do not spin them recklessly. The 4WD system could be damaged.
CAUTION:
o While the full-time 4WD vehicle is being raised on a jack, never start the engine orcause the tires to rotate. There is the danger that rotating tires touching the ground could cause the ve- hicle to go off the jack and to jump for- ward.
o If one of the front or rear wheels begins to
spin in mud, snow, etc., the vehicle can sometimes be driven out by depressing the accelerator pedal further; however, avoid running the engine continuously at high rpm because doing so could damage the 4WD system. WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel move-
ments, such as sharp lane charges or fast,sharp turns.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at high- way speeds.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a per- son wear a seatbelt.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road-
way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.

LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (Not all models)
A limited-slip differential, if equipped, is for the
rear wheel differential only. The features of this limited-slip differential are described below:
Just as with a conventional differential, the
wheel on one side is allowed to turn at adifferent speed from the wheel on the other sidewhen the vehicle is cornering. The differencebetween the limited-slip differential and a con-ventional differential is that if the wheel on oneside of the vehicle loses traction, a greateramount of torque is applied to the rear wheel onthe other side to improve traction.

EFFECTIVE BRAKING Braking system performance and friction mate-rial life are greatly affected by the driving styleadopted. The following suggestions are madeto assist in achieving the best results from thebraking system.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead in order that heavy braking may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients, use the engine to assist in retarding the vehicle tominimize the possibility of brake fade occur-ring. o When trailer towing, ensure that the trailer
brakes function correctly and use enginebraking to assist the vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replacement brake pads and shoes to ensure consistentfriction characteristics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g. fording), the brakes may become wet andperformance reduced. Always check brakeefficiency after emerging from the water anddry the brakes by lightly depressing thebrake pedal several times whilst driving slow-ly.
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehi- cle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance provided by the brake servo is derived from the engine,coasting with the engine turned off or towingof the vehicle with the engine turned off willresult in greatly increased pedal pressuresbeing required to stop the vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransmission to overheat. Always use thebrake pedal or parking brake.
CAUTION:
o Whilst the full-time 4WD vehicle is being raised on a jack, never start the engine orcause the tyres to rotate. There is the danger that rotating tyres touching the ground could cause thevehicle to go off the jack and to jumpforward.
o If one of the front or rear wheels begins to spin in mud, snow, etc., the vehiclecan sometimes be driven out by depress-ing the accelerator pedal further; how-ever, avoid running the engine continu-ously at high rpm because doing so coulddamage the 4WD system.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel move- ments, such as sharp lane charges or fast, sharp turns.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at high-way speeds.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and thedriver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road- way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slowdown before pulling back into the travellanes.
