• When driving in Sports Mode, slow
down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear
may not be engaged if the engine
rpms are outside of the allowable
range.
• Always apply the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis-
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.
• 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 vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident
• Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
•
ALWAYS wear your seatbelt. In
a collision, an unbelted occu-
pant is significantly more likely
to be seriously injured or killed
than a properly belted occupant.
•
Avoid high speeds when corner-
ing or turning.
•
Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
•
The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control 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.

•
In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer
sharply. Instead, slow down
before pulling back into the trav-
el lanes.
•
HYUNDAI recommends you fol-
low all posted speed limits.
