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.

vehicle speed is over 60 km/h (40 mph) and the mode is shift-
ed to AWD AUTO mode. If the vehicle speed is reduced back
down to 60 km/h (40 mph) the system shifts back into AWD
LOCK mode.
• Use this mode when driving up or down steep inclines, driv-
ing off-road, driving on sandy and muddy roads, etc. to max-
imize traction.

the engine's driving power is distributed to all four wheels
automatically.
• Use this mode when driving on normal roads.
• If you select the Assist mode (
) in the cluster LCD dis-
play, driving force distribution (AWD) state is displayed.
