2- 12 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
C130A01A-AAT GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of the shelf panel behind the rear seat. If there were an accident or a sud-den 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 may cause the car to pull to one side. To dry the brakes,apply the brakes lightly until the braking action returns to normal, taking care to keep the car undercontrol at all times. If the braking
action does not return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do soand call your Hyundai dealer for assistance.

C090P01A-GAT Overdrive Switch
When the overdrive switch is turned on, the transaxle will automatically upshift to the second, third and over-drive gears. When the overdrive switch is turned off, the transaxle will not upshift to the overdrive gear. For nor-mal driving, the selector lever should be left in the "D" position and the overdrive switch turned on.If you need to accelerate rapidly, press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. The transaxle will automaticallyshift to a lower gear, depending on the vehicle speed and load.
!WARNING:
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off theroadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pull-ing back into the travel lanes.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
