4WD AUTO
(4WD LOCK is
deactivated)(not
illuminated)
In the 4WD AUTO mode, under normal
operating conditions, the vehicle operates
similar to conventional 2WD vehicles. If
the system determines there is a need
for four wheel drive, the engine’s driving
power is distributed to all four wheels
automatically.
Use this mode when driving on normal
roads.
4WD LOCK
(illuminated)
This mode is used for climbing or
descending sharp grades, off-road
driving, driving on sandy and muddy
roads, etc., to maximize traction.
This mode automatically begins to
deactivate at speeds above 25 mph (40
km) and is shifted to 4WD AUTO mode
at speed above 38 mph (60 km). If the
vehicle decelerates to speeds below
25 mph (40 km), however, the transfer
mode is shifted into 4WD LOCK mode
again.
WARNING
If 4WD warning light () stays on the instrument cluster, your vehicle may have a
malfunction with the 4WD system. When the 4WD warning light () illuminates,
have the vehicle be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.

CAUTION
When driving on normal roads,
deactivate the 4WD LOCK mode by
pushing the 4WD LOCK button (4WD
LOCK indicator light goes off). Driving
on normal roads with the 4WD LOCK
mode, especially, when cornering
may cause mechanical noise or
vibration. The noise and vibration will
disappear when the 4WD LOCK mode is
deactivated. Prolonged driving with the
noise and vibration may damage some
parts of the power train.
NOTICE
When the 4WD LOCK mode is
deactivated, a sensation may be felt
as the driving power is delivered
entirely to the front wheels.
For safe 4WD operation
Make sure all passengers are wearing
seat belts.
Sit upright and closer to the steering
wheel than usual. Adjust the steering
wheel to a position comfortable for
you to drive.
Start off slowly by applying the
accelerator pedal gently.
Use snow tires or tire chains.
Keep sufficient distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.
Apply engine braking during
deceleration by using the paddle
shifter (manual shift mode) and
manually selecting a lower gear.
Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent skids.
