DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 12 Driving 4WD Safely
(1) Be sure to wear the seat belt.
(2) Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds.
Because of your vehicle's high centre of gravity, its stability will be affected in cross-winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehiclecontrol.
(3) Check the brake condition after driving in wet or muddy conditions. Press the brakeseveral times as you move slowly until youfeel normal braking forces return.
(4) Do not drive the vehicle through water. (i.e. streams, rivers, lakes, etc.)
(5) The stopping distance of the full-time 4WD vehicle differs very little from that of the2WD vehicle.
When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure thatyou keep a sufficient distance between yourvehicle and the one ahead of you.
(6) Since the driving torque is always applied to the 4 wheels, the performance of the full-time 4WD vehicle is greatly affected by thecondition of the tyres. Be sure to equip itwith all four tyres of the same size and type.o When replacement of any of the tyres or disc wheels is necessary, replace all ofthem.
o Rotate the tyres and check the tyre pres- sure at regular intervals.
(7) The full-time 4WD vehicle cannot be towed by an ordinary tow truck. Makesure that the vehicle is towed with itsfour wheels raised off the ground. o If the vehicle is towed with its only two
wheels raised off the ground, the 4WDsystem could be damaged.
o In unavoidable case, if the vehicle is being towed with all four wheels on theground, it should be towed only forwarddirection with rope.
o Whilst towing, check the following items.
1. The ignition switch is in "ACC" or"ON".
2. Place the shift lever in neutral (For Automatic Transmission, "N" posi-tion).
3. Release the parking brake.
NOTE: To avoid serious damage to your 4WD ve- hicle, limit towing to 10 mph (15km/h) andnot for more than 1 mile (1.5km) at ANYTIME.

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.

WINTER MOTORING The onset of winter conditions subject motor
vehicles to greater operating demands. There- fore, the following suggestions will assist inmaintaining peak performance and reliabilityduring these periods:
C140A01A-EAT
DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
You can save fuel and get more miles from your
car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full- throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruisingspeed. Don't race between stoplights. Try toadjust your speed to that of the other trafficso you don't have to change speeds unnec-essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-sible. Always maintain a safe distance fromother vehicles so you can avoid unneces-sary braking. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving ata moderate speed, especially on the high-way, is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and alsoincrease wear on these components. In ad-dition, driving with your foot resting on thebrake pedal may cause the brakes to over-heat, which reduces their effectiveness andmay lead to more serious consequences.
o Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. Incorrect in-flation, either too much or too little, results inunnecessary tyre wear. Check the tyre pres-sures at least once a month. o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correct-
ly. Improper alignment can result from hittingcurbs or driving too fast over irregular sur-faces. Poor alignment causes faster tyrewear and may also result in other problemsas well as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordance withthe maintenance schedule in Section 5. Ifyou drive your car in severe conditions,more frequent maintenance is required (seeSection 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should be kept clean and freeof corrosive materials. It is especially impor-tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of the car. Thisextra weight can result in increased fuelconsumption and also contribute to corro-sion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces- sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),turn off your engine and restart only whenyou're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not require extended warm-up. As soon as the engineis running smoothly, you can drive away. Invery cold weather, however, give your en-gine a slightly longer warm-up period. o Don't "labour" or "over-rev" the engine.
Labouring is driving too slowly in too high agear resulting in the vehicle kangarooing. Ifthis happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safelimit. This can be avoided by shifting at therecommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operated by enginepower so your fuel economy is reducedwhen you use it.
C150A01A-EAT SMOOTH CORNERINGAvoid braking or gear changing in corners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, cornersshould always be taken under gentle accelera-tion. If you follow these suggestions, tyre wearwill be held to a minimum.

Safety Cables
Should the towbar connection between your car
and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could wander dangerouslyacross other lanes of traffic and ultimately leavethe roadway. To eliminate this potentially dan-gerous situation, safety cables, attached be-tween your car and the trailer or towed vehicle,are required.
Nose weight Total trailer weightSSA2200B
C190E02HP-EAT
Trailer Weight Limit
Nose weights can be increased or decreased
by re-distributing the load in the trailer.
This can be verified by checking the total weight
of the loaded trailer and then checking the nose weights.
YC200C3-A
Trailer Brakes
If your trailer is equipped with a braking system,
make sure it conforms to federal and/or localregulations and that it is properly installed andoperating correctly.
NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will
require more frequent maintenance due to the additional load. See Maintenance UnderSevere Usage Conditions" on page 5-5.
CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake system di- rectly to the vehicle brake system.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 12%) pay close attention to theengine coolant temperature gauge to en-sure the engine does not overheat. If theneedle of the coolant temperature gaugemoves across the dial towards "H" (HOT),pull over and stop as soon as it is safe todo so, and allow the engine to idle until itcools down. You may proceed once theengine has cooled sufficiently.

TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING
If you are considering towing with your car, youshould first check with your Local Laws todetermine their legal requirements. Since laws vary from county to county, the requirements for towing trailers, cars, or othertypes of vehicles or apparatus may differ. Askyour Hyundai dealer for further details beforetowing. CAUTION: Do not do any towing with your car duringits first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) in order toallow the engine to have properly run-in.Failure to heed this caution may result inserious engine or transmission damage. YC200B2-E
Trailer Towbars Select the correct towbar and ball combination,
making sure that its location is compatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed.
Use a quality non-equalizing towbar which dis-
tributes the nose weight uniformly throughoutthe chassis.
The towbar should be bolted securely to the car
and installed by a qualified technician.
o It is advisable to carry emergency equip-
ment including, torch, shovel, tow rope, blan-kets etc., if a journey is to be undertaken intoareas of severe road conditions.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 19
CAUTION: If overheating should occur when towing,
(temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce oreliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. Whilst in stop and go traffic, place the gear selector in park or neutral and idle the engine at a higher speed.
HPC200E1-E
Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar and safety cable connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, andturn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed (Less than 60 mph)
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than nor- mal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not usefifth gear (manual transmission).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift whilst driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tyres on the trailer and your car. Low tyrepressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tyre.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af- fected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead.If there is too much wind buffeting slowdown to get out of the other vehicle's airturbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especial- ly on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transmission in 1st or Reverse (manual)or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheelchocks at each of the trailer's tyres. 9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your
vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to besure the brakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection at the sametime.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced brakingefficiency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the transmission to a lower gear and reducespeed to reduce chances of engine over-loading and/or overheating.
15. If you have to stop whilst going uphill, do not hold the vehicle in place by pressing on theaccelerator. This can cause the automatictransmission to overheat. Use the parkingbrake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transmission fluid more
frequently.

G110A04HP-EAT
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LUBRI- CANT Transmission lubricant should be changed at
those intervals specified in the vehicle mainte- nance schedule in Section 5.
NOTE: Basically automatic transmission fluid is red
color. As driving distance increases, the fluid color turns darkish red gradually. It isnormal condition and you should not usefluid color as a criterion for replacing thetransmission fluid.
You must replace the automatic transmis-
sion fluid in accordance with intervals speci-fied in the vehicle maintenances schedule insection 5. Recommended Lubricant
Use only MOBIL DEXRON- II. Damage caused
by a nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new vehicle limited warranty. Transmission Fluid Capacity
The fluid capacity of the automatic transmission
is 10.5 litres (Petrol)/ 11.8 litres (Diesel). CAUTION: The transmission fluid level should be
checked when the engine is at normal oper- ating temperature. This means that the en-gine, radiator, exhaust system etc., are veryhot so you should exercise great care not toburn yourself during this procedure. To Check the Transmission Fluid Level
Park the car on level ground with the parking
brake engaged. When the transmission fluid level is checked, the transmission fluid shouldbe at normal operating temperature and theengine idling.
Whilst the engine is idling, apply the brakes and
move the gear selector level from "P" to each ofits other positions — "R", "N", "D", "2", "L" —and then return to "N" or "P". With the enginestill idling:
1. Open the bonnet, being careful to keep hands and clothing clear of any moving parts.
up, add oil slowly until it reaches the properlevel. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the bolt and washer, screw it in with your fingers and then tighten securely withthe wrench.
