DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
C130A01A-AAT
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of the
cargo area cover behind the rear seat. If
there were an accident or a sudden stop,
such objects could move forward and cause
damage to the vehicle or injure the occu-
pants.
!
o After being parked, check to be sure the
parking brake is not engaged and that the
parking brake indicator light is out before
driving away.
o Driving through water may get the brakes
wet. They can also get wet when the car is
washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous!
Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakes
are wet. Wet brakes may cause the car to
pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the
brakes lightly while driving slowly until the
braking action returns to normal, taking care
to keep the car under control at all times. If
the braking action does not return to normal,
stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your
Hyundai dealer for assistance.
4WD LOCK SYSTEM
C360A01O-GAT
(With Electronic Control 4WD)
(If installed)
This 4WD system is designed for dividing the
power ratio automatically in normal driving con-
ditions.
During off-road or low-friction driving condi-
tions, press the 4WD lock button to drive in full-
time 4WD, dividing the power ratio to 50:50 in the
front and rear wheels. The 4WD lock indicator
light in the instrument cluster is illuminated.
This setup begins to get cancelled when the
vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h, and the func-
tion is completely released at a speed of 40 km/
h or higher. Conversely, the function is rerun
when the speed again drops to 40 km/h or lower,
and is fully established at speeds below 30 km/
h.
To release the 4WD lock function, press the
4WD lock button again.
The 4WD lock indicator light in the instrument
cluster should go off.
C360A01JM-U
1) Pressing the 4WD lock button on the tough
terrain, the driving power is equally distrib-
uted to the front and rear.
4WD lock keeps activating when not ex-
ceeding 40 km/h.
2) Release the 4WD lock button on the normal
driving conditions.
