The All Wheel Drive (AWD) system
delivers engine torque to both the
front and rear wheels for extra trac-
tion.
AWD is useful when maximum trac-
tion is required on slippery, muddy,
wet, or snow-covered roads.Occasional off-road use such as
established unpaved roads and trails
are OK. It is always important that
the driver carefully reduces the
speed to a level that does not exceed
the safe operating speed for those
conditions.

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
Do not drive in conditions that
exceed the vehicles intended
design such as challenging
off-road conditions.
Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
The risk of a rollover is great-
ly increased if you lose con-
trol of your vehicle at highway
speeds.
Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off
the roadway and the driver
over steers to reenter the
roadway.
WARNING
OTLE058178

Driving your vehicle
Do not drive in water if the level
is higher than the bottom of the
vehicle.
Check your brake condition
once you are out of mud or
water. Depress the brake pedal
several times as you move slow-
ly until you feel normal braking
return.
Shorten your scheduled mainte-
nance interval if you drive in off-
road conditions such as sand,
mud or water (see "Maintenance
Under Severe Usage
Conditions" in chapter 7).
Always wash your vehicle thor-
oughly after off road use, espe-
cially the bottom of the vehicle.
Be sure to equip the vehicle with
four tires of the same size and
type.
Make sure that a full time AWD
vehicle is towed by a flat bed
tow truck.
NOTICEIn the event your vehicle
leaves the roadway, do not
steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into
the travel lanes.

AWD operation
If AWD warning light ( ) stays on the instrument cluster, your vehicle may have a malfunction with the
AWD system. When the AWD warning light ( ) illuminates have your vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING
The main goal of AWD Lock mode is to allow a driver to max-
imize the vehicle’s traction under extreme driving conditions
such as unpaved off-road, sandy roads, and muddy roads.
AWD Lock mode is in operation only when a vehicle travels
at 60 km/h or less. When traveling at 60 km/h or faster, the
mode will switch to AWD Auto.
When AWD Lock mode illuminates, the cluster does not dis-
play the front/rear wheel traction force distribution status.

AWD Auto. AWD AUTO
(AWD LOCK is
deactivated)
(not illuminated)
Transfer mode Selection button Indicator light Description
AWD Auto is used when driving on roads in normal condi-
tions, roads in urban areas, and on highways.
All wheels are in operation when a vehicle travels at a con-
stant speed. Required tractions applying on front and rear
wheels vary depending on road driving conditions and driv-
ing conditions, which will be automatically controlled by the
computing system.
When the cluster's AWD Auto display mode is selected, the
cluster displays the status of how four wheels’ traction forces
are distributed.

Driving your vehicle
Maintain AWD Auto mode when
driving on roads in normal con-
ditions.
When driving under normal road
conditions (especially when cor-
nering) in AWD Lock mode, a
driver may find minor mechani-
cal vibration or noise, which is
extremely normal phenomenon,
not a malfunction. When AWD
Lock mode is released, such
noise or vibration will be imme-
diately gone.When driving on normal roads,
deactivate the AWD LOCK mode
by pushing the AWD LOCK button
(AWD LOCK indicator light goes
off). Driving on normal roads with
the AWD LOCK mode, especially,
when cornering may cause
mechanical noise or vibration. The
noise and vibration will disappear
when the AWD LOCK mode is
deactivated. Prolong driving with
the noise and vibration may dam-
age some parts of the power train.
Information
When the AWD LOCK mode is deac-
tivated, a sensation may be felt as the
driving power is delivered entirely to
the front wheels.
For safe AWD operation
Before driving
Make sure all passengers are
wearing seat belts.
Sit upright and closer to the steer-
ing wheel than usual. Adjust the
steering wheel to a position com-
fortable for you to drive.
Driving on snow-covered or icy
roads
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 decel-
eration by switching the gear shift
lever to Manual Shift Mode and
manually selecting a lower gear.
Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns to prevent skids.
