CARE OF DISCS

CARE OF CASSETTE TAPES

Storage

B860A01A-AAT

When not in use, place your discs in their individual case and store them in a cool place away from the sun, heat, and dust. Do not grip or pull out the disc with your hand while the disc is being pulled into the unit by the self loading mechanism.

Keep Your Discs Clean

B850A01L Handle your disc as shown. Do not drop the disc. Hold the disc so you will not leave finger- prints on the surface. If the surface is scratched, it may cause the pickup to skip signal tracks. Do not affix tape, paper, or gummed labels on the disc. Do not write on the disc.

Damaged Disc

Do not attempt to play damaged, warped or cracked discs. These could severely damage the playback mechanism.

B850A02L

Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of a disc could cause the pickup to skip signal tracks. Wipe the surface clean with a clean soft cloth. If the surface is heavily soiled, dampen a clean soft cloth in a solution of mild neutral detergent to wipe it clean. See drawing.

B860A01L Proper care of your cassette tapes will extend the tape life and increase your listening enjoy- ment. Always protect your tapes and cassette cases from direct sunlight, severely cold and dusty conditions. When not in use, cassettes should always be stored in the original protec- tive cassette case. When the vehicle is very hot or cold, allow the interior temperature to become more comfortable before listening to your cas- settes.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

125125125125125

o Never leave a cassette inserted in the player when not being played. This could damage the tape player unit and the cassette tape. o We strongly recommend against the use of tapes longer than C-60 (60 minutes total). Tapes such as C-120 or C-180 are very thin and do not perform as well in the automotive environment.

o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place with the open side facing down to prevent dust from settling in the cassette body.

o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to replay one given tune or tape section. This can cause poor tape winding to occur, and even- tually cause excessive internal drag and poor audio quality in the cassette. If this occurs, it can sometimes be corrected by fast winding the tape from end to end several times. If this does not correct the problem, do not continue to use the tape in your vehicle.

o The playback head, capstan and pinch roll- ers will develop a coating of tape residue that can result in deterioration of sound quality, such as a wavering sound. They should be cleaned monthly using a commercially avail- able head cleaning tape or special solution available from audio specialty shops. Follow the supplier's directions carefully and never oil any part of the tape player unit.

o Always be sure that the tape is tightly wound on its reel before inserting in the player. Rotate a pencil in the drive sprockets to wind up any slack.

Head

B860A01JM

o Be sure that the cassette label is not loose or peeling off or tape ejection may be difficult. o Never touch or soil the actual audio tape

surfaces.

o Keep all magnetized objects, such as elec- tric motors, speakers or transformers away from your cassette tapes and tape player unit.

ANTENNA

B870D02JM-AAT Roof Antenna

Type A

Type B

B870D02JM-U

Your car uses a roof antenna to receive both AM and FM broadcast signals. This antenna is a removable type. To remove the antenna, turn the antenna counterclock- wise. To install the antenna, turn the antenna clockwise.

B860A03L

NOTE: Look at a tape before you insert it. If the tape is loose, tighten it by turning one of the hubs with a pencil or your finger. If the label is peeling off, do not put it in the drive mechanism. Do not leave tapes sitting where they are exposed to hot, warm, or high humidity, such as on top of the dashboard or in the player. If a tape is excessively hot or cold, let it reach a moderate temperature before putting it in the player.

CAUTION:

o Be sure to remove the antenna before washing the car in an automatic car wash or it may be damaged.

o Before entering a place with a low height clearance, be sure to adjust the roof antenna low.

o In some vehicles, the antenna can be

folded into only front position.

o When reinstalling your antenna, it is important that it is fully tightened to ensure proper reception.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!

C010A02JM-AAT Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. o Do not inhale exhaust fumes.

Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.

o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.

The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer. o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.

Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.

o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.

If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.

If you must drive with the tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary: 1. Close all windows. 2. Open side vents. 3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds. To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:

Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automobile components and parts, including components found in the interior furnishings in a vehicle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

RISK OF ROLLOVER

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

WARNING:

o The 2WD Tucson is not designed for off- road use. The 4WD Tucson is designed primarily for use on paved roads. How- ever, occasional use in off-highway con- ditions such as established unpaved roads and non-challenging off-road trails is allowed. The 4WD Tucson is not designed for blazing new trails, chal- lenging off-road conditions, or unpaved hill climbing. Exceeding the conditions that were intended for the vehicle's pri- mary design may result in injury or death. o Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles.

WARNING:

o Utility vehicle have higher ground clear- ance and a narrower track to make them capable of performing in a wide variety of off-road applications. Specific design characteristics give them a higher center of gravitiy than ordinary cars. An advan- tage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you to anticipate problem. They are not de- signed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily un- der off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, fail- ure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover. o In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.

WARNING:

Your vehicle is equipped with tires de- signed to provide for safe ride and handling capability. Do not use a size and type of tire and wheel that is different from the one that is origi- nally installed on your vehicle. It can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could lead to handling failure or rollover and serious injury. When replacing the tires, be sure to equip all four tires with the tire and wheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load- carrying capacity. If you nevertheless de- cide to equip your vehicle with any tire/ wheel combination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, you should not use these tires for highway driving.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

C020A04A-AAT Before you start the engine, you should always:

1. Look around the vehicle to be sure there are no flat tires, puddles of oil, water or other indications of possible trouble.

2. After entering the car, check to be sure the

parking brake is engaged.

3. Check that all windows, and lights are clean. 4. Check that the interior and exterior mirrors

are clean and in position.

5. Check your seat, seatback and headrest to be sure they are in their proper positions.

6. Lock all the doors. 7. Fasten your seat belt and be sure that all

other occupants have fastened theirs.

C050B02JM-AAT Normal Conditions:

The Starting Procedure:

Insert key, and fasten the seat belt.

1. 2. Depress the clutch pedal fully and place the gearshift lever (manual transaxle) in neutral or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) in "P" (park) position.

3. After turning the ignition key to the "ON" position, make certain all warning lights and gauges are functioning properly before start- ing the engine.

WARNING:

Always fully depress the brake pedal before and while shifting out of the "P" Park posi- tion into another position to avoid inad- vertent motion of the vehicle which could injure persons in or around the car.

C050A01E-1

WARNING:

Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated area any longer than is needed to move your car in or out of the area. The carbon monoxide gas emitted is odorless and can cause serious injury or death.

WARNING:

Be sure that the clutch is fully depressed when starting a manual transaxle vehicle. Your manual transaxle equipped vehicle will not start unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed.

4. Turn the ignition key to the "START" position

and release it when the engine starts. After the engine has started, allow the engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to placing the vehicle in gear. The starter should not be operated for more than 15 seconds at a time. Wait 15-30 sec- onds between starting attempts to protect the starter from overheating.

OPERATING THE MANUAL TRANSAXLE

C070A02A-AAT

HJM3017
Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has a con- ventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is im- printed on the shift knob. The transaxle is fully synchronized in all forward gears so shifting to either a higher or a lower gear is easily accom- plished.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

C070B02A-AAT Using the Clutch

The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. The clutch pedal should always be fully returned to the original position. Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. This can cause un- necessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the car on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear. Use the foot brake or parking brake to hold the car on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.

NOTE: o To shift into reverse, rest the lever in neutral for at least 3 seconds after your car is completely stopped. Then move the lever into the reverse position.

o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transaxle lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harm- ful to the transaxle.

o If you've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1st or R(Reverse), put the shift lever in N(Neutral) position and release the clutch. Press the clutch pedal down, and then shift into 1st or R(Reverse) gear position.

o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as this can result in pre- mature wear of the transaxle shift forks.

CAUTION:

When downshifting from fifth gear to fourth gear, caution should be taken not to inad- vertently press the gear lever sideways in such a manner that second gear is en- gaged. Such a drastic downshift may cause the engine speed to increase to the point that the tachometer will enter the red-zone. Such over-revving of the engine may cause engine damage.

The shift points as shown on the chart are recommended for optimum fuel economy and performance.

o Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This is extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear.

o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction. Instead, when you are driving down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car.

o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-revving the engine, which can cause damage.

o Slow down when you encounter cross winds. This gives you much better control of your car.

o Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into reverse. The transaxle can be damaged if you do not. To shift into reverse, depress the clutch, move the shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds, then shift to the reverse position.

o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful when braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in ve- hicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control.

o Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly depressing and releasing the accelerator pedal.

WARNING:

o Always buckle-up! In a collision, an unbelted occupant is significantly more likely to be seriously injured or killed than a properly belted occupant.

o Avoid high speeds when cornering or

turning.

o Do not make quick steering wheel move- ments, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.

o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at high- way speeds.

o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the road- way.

o In the event your vehicle leaves the road- way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.

o Never exceed posted speed limits.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

CAUTION:

Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the vehicle is moving.

The indicator lights in the instrument cluster indicate the selector lever position when the ignition is switched "ON". During "D" range operation, green lights indicate the gear cur- rently in use.

OPERATING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE

C090A01O-GAT

HJM3018
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. The individual speeds are selected au- tomatically, depending on the position of the speed selector lever. The selector lever has 2
gates; the main gate and the manual gate.

NOTE: For information on manual gate operation, refer to "Sports Mode".

In the main gate, the selector lever has 4
positions, and is equipped with a button to avoid inadvertent selection.

NOTE:

Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shifting. Push the button when shifting. The selector lever can be shifted freely.

The first few shifts on a new vehicle, or if the battery has been disconnected, may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condi- tion, and the shifting sequence will adjust after shifts are cycled a few times by the T.C.M (Transaxle Control Module).

C090A01JM

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 10

C090B02A-AAT The function of each position is as fol- lows:

o P (Park):

Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked or while starting the engine. Whenever parking the car, apply the parking brake and shift the selec- tor lever to the "P" (Park) position.

CAUTION:

Never place the selector lever in the "P" (Park) position unless the vehicle is fully stopped. Failure to observe this caution will cause severe damage to the transaxle.

C090C01A-AAT o R(Reverse):

C090F01JM-GAT Sports Mode

Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to a complete stop before shifting the selector lever to "R" position.

C090D02O-AAT o N (Neutral):

In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral, which means that no gears are engaged. The engine can be started with the shift lever in "N" position, although this is not recommended except if the engine stalls while the car is moving.

C090E02O-AAT o D(Drive):

Use for normal driving. Bring the car to a complete stop before shifting the selector to "D" position. The transaxle will automatically shift through a four gear sequence.

HJM3020
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, sports mode is selected by pushing the selector lever from the "D" position into the manual gate. To return to "D" range operation, push the selector lever back into the main gate. In sports mode, moving the selector lever back- wards and forwards can make gearshifts simple. UP (+) : Push the lever forward once to shift up one gear. DOWN (-) : Pull the lever backwards once to shift down one gear. SKIP : By rapidly moving the selector forwards or backwards twice, it is possible to skip one gear, i.e. 1st to 3rd or 3rd to 1st.

!

CAUTION:

o In sports mode, The driver must execute shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, taking care to keep the en- gine speed below the red zone. For en- gine protection, upward shifts are made automatically when the engine rpm reaches the red zone.

o By rapidly moving the selector lever back- wards (-) twice, it is possible to skip one gear, i.e., 3rd to 1st, 4th to 2nd. Since sudden engine braking and/or rapid ac- celeration can cause a loss of traction, however, downshifts must be made care- fully in accordance with the vehicle's speed.

NOTE: o In sports mode, only the four forward gears can be selected. To select reverse or park, move the selector lever to the "R" or "P" position as required.

o In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. When the vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically selected.

o To maintain the required levels of ve- hicle performance and safety, the sys- tem may not execute certain gearshifts when the selector lever is operated.

o Before driving away from a stop on a slippery road, push the selector lever forward into the +(UP) position. This causes the transaxle to shift into 2nd gear which is better for smooth driving away on a slippery road. Push the selec- tor lever to the -(DOWN) side to shift back to 1st gear.

C090H01L-GAT NOTE: o For smooth and safe operation, depress the brake pedal when shifting from "Neu- tral" position or "Park" position to a forward or reverse gear.

o The ignition key must be in the "ON" position and the brake pedal fully de- pressed in order to move the shift lever from the "P" (Park) position to any of the other positions.

o It is always possible to shift from "R", "N", "D" position to "P" position. The vehicle must be fully stopped to avoid transaxle damage.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

C090I04L-GAT

CAUTION:

o Shift into "R", "D" and "P" position only when the vehicle has completely stopped.

o Do not accelerate the engine in reverse or any of the forward positions with the brakes applied.

o Always apply the footbrake when shift- ing from "P" or "N", to "R" or "D"position. o Do not use the "P" (Park) position in place of the parking brake. Always set the parking brake, shift the transaxle into "P" (Park) position and turn off the ignition when you leave the vehicle, even momentarily. Never leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running. o When accelerating from a stop on a steep hill, the vehicle may have a ten- dency to roll backwards. Shifting the shift lever into 2nd gear while in Sport mode will help prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards.

o Check the automatic transaxle fluid level

regularly, and add fluid as necessary.

o See the maintenance schedule for the

proper fluid recommendation.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 12

C090N05O-AAT Good Driving Practices

o Never move the gear selector lever from "P" or "N" to any other position with the accelera- tor pedal depressed.

o Never move the gear selector lever into "P"

when the vehicle is in motion.

o Be sure the car is completely stopped before

you attempt to shift into "R" or "D".

o Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be extremely hazard- ous. Always leave the car in gear when moving.

o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction. Instead, when you are driving down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car. o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en- gaged.

o Always use the parking brake. Do not de- pend on placing the transaxle in "P" to keep the car from moving.

o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful when braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in ve- hicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control.

o Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly depressing and releasing the accelerator pedal.

CAUTION:

If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt to rock the vehicle free by moving it forward and backward. Do not attempt this proce- dure if people or objects are anywhere near the vehicle. During the rocking operation the vehicle may suddenly move forward of backward as it becomes unstuck, causing injury to nearby people or damage to ob- jects.

WARNING:

o Always buckle-up! In a collision, an unbelted occupant is significantly more likely to be seriously injured or killed than a properly belted occupant.

o Avoid high speeds when cornering or

turning.

o Do not make quick steering wheel move- ments, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.

o Never exceed posted speed limits.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)

C120A01JM-AAT (If installed)

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con- trol module monitors the wheel speed and con- trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle control during braking.

NOTE: o A click sound may be heard in the engine compartment when the vehicle begins to move after the engine is started. These conditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system / Traction Control System / Electronic Stability Con- trol is functioning properly.

o During ABS / TCS / ESC operation, a pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine com- partment while braking. These condi- tions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system / Traction Con- trol System / Electronic Stability Control System is functioning properly.

WARNING:

ABS / TCS / ESC will not prevent accidents due to improper or dangerous driving ma- neuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emergency braking, al- ways maintain a safe distance between you and objects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extreme road conditions. The braking distance for cars equipped with an anti-lock braking system / TCS / ESC may be longer than for those without it in the following road conditions. During these conditions the vehicle should be driven at reduced speeds:

o Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads. o With tire chains installed. o On roads where the road surface is pit-

ted or has different surface height.

The safety features of an ABS / TCS / ESC equipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)

C300A03Y-GAT (If installed)

13

C300A01JM-U

On slippery road surfaces, the traction control system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spinning excessively, thus helping the car to accelerate. It also helps to provide sufficient driving force and steering performance as the car turns.

SLIP Control

Limits the drive wheels from spinning exces- sively during starting or while making acceler- ated turns on slippery roads to avoid losing the driving force of the front wheels.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 14

Driving Hints

TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to decelerate the car sufficiently before entering curves.

CAUTION:

When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP con- trol function has been activated. It also means that the road is slippery or your car is accelerating excessively. In this situa- tion, gently release foot pressure from the accelerator pedal and maintain moderate speed.

WARNING:

Traction control is a driving aid; all normal precautions for driving in inclement weath- er and on slippery driving surfaces should be observed.

C310B02O-AAT TCS ON/OFF Mode

When the TCS is operating, the TCS indicator in the instrument cluster will blink. If you turn the system off by pressing the TCS switch, the TCS-OFF indicator will come on and stay on. In the TCS-OFF mode, the SLIP control will be deactivated. Adjust you driving accord- ingly. To turn the system back on, press the switch again. The TCS-OFF indicator should go off.

NOTE: 1) The TCS mode will automatically be turned ON after the engine is turned off and restarted.

2) When the traction control system is op- erating properly, you can feel a slight pulsation in the vehicle. This is only the effect of brake control and indicates nothing unusual.

3) When the engine starts, a click may be heard from the engine compartment; this is the sound of the traction control being checked.

4) When moving out of the mud or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not cause the engine speed to in- crease due to TCS operation.

C310D01JM-AAT Indicators and Warning

The indicators should illuminate when the igni- tion key is turned to ON or START but should go out after approximately three seconds. If the indicators do not illuminate, or the TCS or TCS-OFF indicator does not go out after 3
seconds, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.

Should there be any unusual conditions in the TCS System while driving, TCS-OFF indicator illuminates as a warning. If TCS-OFF indicator illuminates, pull your car to a safe place and stop the engine. Then, start the engine again to check if the TCS- OFF indicator goes out.

If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, have your car checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

NOTE: When the TCS-OFF indicator illuminates, traction control is automatically deacti- vated.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) SYSTEM

C310A03JM-AAT (If installed)

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

15

CAUTION:

Driving with varying tire or wheel size may cause the ESC system to malfunction. When replacing tires, make sure they are the same size as your original tires.

WARNING:

Never drive too fast for the road conditions or too quickly when cornering. Electronic stability control (ESC) will not prevent ac- cidents. Excessive speed in turns, abrupt maneuvers and hydroplaning on wet sur- faces can still result in serious accidents. Only a safe and attentive driver can prevent accidents by avoiding maneuvers that cause the vehicle to lose traction. Even with ESC installed, always follow all the normal precautions for driving - including driving at safe speeds for the conditions.

C310A01JM-U The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is designed to stabilize the vehicle during cor- nering manuevers. ESC checks where you are steering and where the vehicle is actually going. ESC applies the brakes at individual wheels and intervenes in the engine management system to stabilize the vehicle.

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road con- ditions and driver steering input can all affect whether ESC will be effective in preventing a loss of control. It is still your responsibility to drive and corner at reasonable speeds and to leave a sufficient margin of safety.

C310B01JM-AAT ESC ON/OFF Mode

When the ESC is operating, the ESC indicator in the instrument cluster will blink. If you turn the system off by pressing the ESC switch, the ESC-OFF indicator will come on and stay on. In the ESC-OFF mode, the stability control will be deactivated. Adjust your driving accordingly. To turn the system back on, press the switch again. The ESC-OFF indicator should go off.

NOTE: The ESC mode will automatically be turned ON after the engine is turned off and re- started.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 16

FULL-TIME 4WD OPERATION

C310D01JM-AAT Indicators and Warning

C350A02JM-AAT (If installed)

The indicators should illuminate when the igni- tion key is turned to ON or START but should go out after three seconds. If the indicators do not illuminate, or the ESC or ESC-OFF indicator does not go out after 3
seconds, have the vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.

Should there be any unusual conditions in the device while driving, ESC-OFF indicator illumi- nates as a warning. If ESC-OFF indicator illuminates, pull your car to a safe place and stop the engine. Then, start the engine again to check if the ESC- OFF indicator goes out.

If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, have your car checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

Engine power can be delivered to all wheels. Full-time 4WD is useful when good traction is required, such as, when driving on slippery, wet or snow-covered roads and when moving out of mud. Your vehicle is not designed for chal- lenging off-road use. Full-time 4WD vehicles are designed primarily to improve traction and performance on paved roads and highways in wet and/or slippery conditions. Occasional off- road use such as established unpaved roads and trails is considered normal use. It is always important when traveling off-highway that the driver carefully reduce their speed to a level that does not exceed the safe operating speed for those conditions. In general, off-road conditions provide less traction and braking effectiveness than on road conditions. These factors must be carefully considered when driving off-road. Keeping the vehicle in contact with the driving surface and under control in these conditions is always the driver's responsibility for the safety of him/herself and his or her passengers.

WARNING:

This vehicle is designed primarily for on road use. Driving the vehicle in challenging off-road conditions may result in damage to the vehicle. Driving in conditions that exceed the vehicle's intended design or the driver's experience level may result in se- vere injury or death.

Driving 4WD Safely

(1)As always, be sure to wear the seat belt. (2)Do not drive in challenging off-road condi- tions or areas that exceed the vehicle's basic design intent or the driver's experi- ence level.

(3)Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds. Because of your vehicle's higher center of gravity, its stability will be affected in cross- winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle control.

(4)Check the brake condition after driving in wet or muddy conditions. Press the brake sev- eral times as you move slowly until you feel normal braking forces return.

(5)Do not drive the vehicle through water. (i.e.

streams, rivers, lakes, etc.)

(6) The stopping distance of the full-time 4WD vehicle differs very little from that of the 2WD vehicle. When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure that you keep a sufficient distance between your vehicle and the one ahead of you.

(7) Since the driving torque is always applied to all 4 wheels, the performance of the full-time 4WD vehicle is greatly affected by the con- dition of the tires. Be sure to equip it with four tires of the same size and type. o When replacement of any of the tires or wheels is necessary, replace all of them with tires or wheels of the same size type. o Rotate the tires and check the tire pres-

sure at regular intervals.

WARNING:

Your vehicle is equipped with tires de- signed to provide for safe ride and handling capability. Do not use a size and type of tire and wheel that is different from the one that is origi- nally installed on your vehicle. It can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could lead to handling failure or rollover and serious injury. When replacing the tires, be sure to equip all four tires with the tire and wheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load- carrying capacity. If you nevertheless de- cide to equip your vehicle with any tire/ wheel combination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, you should not use these tires for highway driving.

(8)The full-time 4WD vehicle cannot be towed by an ordinary tow truck. Make sure that the vehicle is towed with all four wheels raised off the ground. o Roadside Assistance Program:

Off-roading is not covered. To receive service, the vehicle must be on a publicly maintained road.

o If the vehicle is towed with only two wheels raised off the ground, the 4WD system could be damaged.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

17

o In unavoidable cases, if the vehicle is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it should only be towed forward. 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).
