Good Driving Practices
o Never take the vehicle out of gear and coast
down a hill. This is extremely hazardous. Always leave the vehicle 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, slowdown and shift to a lower gear. When you dothis, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-running the engine,which can cause damage.
o Slow down when you encounter cross winds. This gives you much better control of yourcar.
o Be sure the vehicle is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into reverse. Thetransmission can be damaged if you do not.To shift into reverse, depress the clutch,move the shift lever to neutral, wait threeseconds, then shift to the reverse position.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in engine speed can cause the drive wheels tolose traction and the vehicle to go out ofcontrol.

The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. Donot rest your foot on the clutch pedal whiledriving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the vehicle on an incline. This causes unnecessarywear. Use the parking brake to hold the vehicle on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidlyand repeatedly.

Use for driving on slippery road, hill climbing or engine braking downhill. "2" automatically shiftsbetween 1st and 2nd gears.This means that no shift-up to 3rd gear isperformed. However, the shift-up to 3rd gear isdone when the vehicle speed exceeds a certainvalue to prevent the engine from over-running. Manually move the selector to "D" returning to normal driving condition. D060G01P-GAT

"L" engages 1st gear only. However, shift-up to
2nd is performed when the vehicle exceeds acertain speed, and as the speed increases,shift-up to 3rd gear occurs to prevent over-running the engine.

3-10 o 4WD has higher ground clearance and a
narrower track to make them capable of performing in a wide variety of off roadapplications. Specific design characteristicsgive them a higher center of gravity thanordinary cars. An advantage of the higherground clearance is a better view of the roadallowing you to anticipate problems. Theyare not designed for cornering at the samespeeds as conventional 2-wheel drive vehi-cles any more than low-slung sports carsare designed to perform satisfactorily underoff-road conditions. If at all possible, avoidsharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As withother vehicles of this type, failure to operatethis vehicle correctly may result in loss ofcontrol or vehicle rollover.
o Do not grip the inside or spokes of the steering wheel when driving off-road. Thesteering wheel could jerk and injure yourhands. Always firmly hold the outer steeringwheel when you are driving off-road.
o Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds. Because of your vehicle’s high center ofgravity, its stability will be affected in cross-
winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehiclecontrol.
o Whenever you drive off-road through sand, mud or water as deep as the wheel hub,more frequent maintenance may be required.
o Do not drive in water if the level is higher than the bottom of the wheel hubs. o Check your brake condition once you are
out of mud or water. Press the brake severaltimes as you move slowly until your feelnormal braking forces return.
o Four-wheel driving on flat and normal roads can result in a severe binding conditionwhen turning the steering wheel.

o After being parked, check to be sure the parking brake is not engaged and that the parking brake indicator light is out beforedriving away. o Driving through water may get the brakes
wet. They can also get wet when the vehicleis washed. Your vehicle may not stop asquickly if the brakes are wet and it may alsopull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply thebrakes lightly until the braking action returnsto normal, taking care to keep the vehicleunder control at all times. If the brakingaction does not return to normal, stop assoon as it is safe to do so and call yourHyundai dealer for assistance.
o Don’t coast down hills with the vehicle out of gear. This may be extremely hazardous. Keep the vehicle in gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down, then shift to a lowergear so that engine braking will help youmaintain a safe speed.
o Don’t "ride" the brake pedal. Resting your foot on the brake pedal while driving can bedangerous because it can result in the brakesoverheating and losing their effectiveness. Italso increases the wear of the brake compo-nents.
o If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply the brakes gently and keep the vehicle point-ed straight ahead while you slow down.When you are moving slowly enough for it tobe safe to do so, pull off the road and stopin a safe place.

transmission, don’t let your vehicle creepforward. To avoid creeping forward, keep your foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle isstopped.
o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage the parking brake and place the gear selec-tor lever in "P"(automatic transmission) or infirst or reverse gear (manual transmission).If your vehicle is facing downhill, turn thefront wheels away from the curb to helpkeep the vehicle from rolling. If there is nocurb or if it is required by other conditions tokeep the vehicle from rolling, block thewheels.
o Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged position. This ismost likely to happen when there is anaccumulation of snow or ice around or nearthe rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. ifthere is a risk that the parking brake mayfreeze, apply it only temporarily while youput the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic)or in first or reverse gear (manual transmis-sion) and block the rear wheels so thevehicle cannot roll. Then release the parkingbrake.

9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your
vehicle and trailer moving, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to besure the brakes are working. This lets you
check your electrical connection at the sametime.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced brakingefficiency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect.When ascending a long grade, downshift the
transmission to a lower gear and reducespeed to reduce chances of engine over-
loading and/or overheating.
15. If you have to stop while going uphill, do not hold the vehicle in place by pressing on theaccelerator. This can cause the automatictransmission to overheat. Use the parkingbrake or footbrake.

Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chain
connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, andturn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed (Less than 100 km/h).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than nor- mal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not usefifth gear (manual transmission) or overdrive(automatic transmission).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tirepressure can seriously affect the handling.
Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af- fected by crosswind and buffeting. Whenbeing passed by a large vehicle, keep aconstant speed and steer straight ahead. Ifthere is too much wind buffeting slow downto get out of the other vehicle’s air turbu-lence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especial- ly on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into the
curb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transmission in 1st or Reverse (manual)or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel
chocks at each of the trailer’s tires. D030A01A-AAT
