(7)The full-time 4WD vehicle cannot
be towed by an ordinary tow truck. Make sure that the vehicle is towed with its four wheels raised off the ground.
o If the vehicle is towed with its only two wheels raised off the ground,the 4WD system could be dam- aged.
o In unavoidable case, if the vehicle
is being towed with all four wheelson the ground, it should be towed only forward direction with rope.
o While towing, check the following items.
1. The ignition switch is in "ACC" or "ON".
2. Place the shift lever in neutral
(For Automatic Transaxle, "N" position).
3. Release the parking brake.
NOTE: To avoid serious damage to your 4WD vehicle, limit towing to 15 km/h (10 mph) and not for more than 1.5km (1 mile) at ANY TIME.
(5)The stopping distance of the full-
time 4WD vehicle differs very littlefrom that of the 2WD vehicle. When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, makesure that you keep a sufficient dis- tance between your vehicle and the one ahead of you.
(6)Since the driving torque is always applied to the 4 wheels, the perfor-mance of the full-time 4WD vehicleis greatly affected by the condition of the tyres. Be sure to equip it with all four tyres of the same size and type.
o When replacement of any of the tyres or disc wheels is necessary,replace all of them.
o Rotate the tyres and check the tyre pressure at regular intervals. WARNING:
Your vehicle is equipped with tyresdesigned to provide for safe ride and handling capability. Do not use a size and type of tyre andwheel that is different from the one that was originally installed on your vehicle. It can affect the safety andperformance of your vehicle, which could lead to handling failure or rollover and serious injury.When replacing the tyres, be sure to equip all four tyres with the tyre and wheel of the same size, type, tread,brand and load-carrying capacity. If you nevertheless decide to equip your vehicle with any tyre/wheel com-bination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, you should not use these tyres for high-way driving.

IF YOUR VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED
D080A01O-GAT If your vehicle has to be towed, it should be done by your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck service. This will help assure that your vehicle is notdamaged in towing.

Be sure that a safetychain system is used and that all local laws are observed. It is recommended that your vehicle betowed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment with all the wheels off the ground.
! CAUTION:
o Your vehicle can be damaged if towed incorrectly!
o Be sure the transaxle is in neutral.
o When the engine will not start, be
sure the steering is unlocked by placing the key in the "ACC" posi- tion.
9. Refit the wheel trim.
10. Return the jack, tool and spare wheel
in its original position.
11. As soon as possible, check the wheel nut torque and adjust to the specification listed below:
Wheel nut tightening torque 900 ~ 1,100 kg.cm (65 ~ 80 lb.ft)

fluid reservoir. The level should be between "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. Use onlyhydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4. F070J01A-AAT
o Brake Pads, Calipers and
Rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs for run out and wear, and cali- pers for fluid leakage. F070K01A-AAT
o Exhaust Pipe and Muffler
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hangers for cracks, dete- rioration, or damage. Start the engine and listen carefully for any exhaust gas leakage. Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary. F070L01A-AAT
o Suspension Mounting Bolts
Check the suspension connections for looseness or damage. Retighten to the specified torque.

Tyres should be rotated every 10,000
km (6,000 miles). If you notice that tyres are wearing unevenly between rotations, have the car checked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected. After rotating, adjust the tyre pres-
sures and be sure to check wheel nuttorque.
I060A01FC-DAT
TYRE ROTATION
WARNING:
o Do not use the temporary spare tyre for tyre rotation.
o Do not mix bias-ply and radial- ply tyres under any circum-stances. This may cause dangerous han- dling characteristics that may cause death, serious injury, orproperty damage.
I050A01O-DAT
TYRE CHAINS
Tyre chains, if necessarly, should be
installed on all wheels. Be sure that the chains are the proper size and that they are installed in accordance withthe manufacturer's instructions. To minimise tyre and chain wear, do
not continue to use tyre chains when they are no longer needed.
WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire &
plastic chains.
o If you have noise caused by chains contacting the body, re-tighten the chain to avoid contactwith the vehicle body.
o To prevent body damage, re- tighten the chains after driving 0.5~1 km (0.3~0.6 mile).
