Switch position
o 2H(Rear-wheel drive) When driving on normal roads and highway.
o 4H(High range 4-wheel drive) When driving deep snow, sand or rough roads with normal speed. The 4WD indication light "HI" will be turned on to remind you that you are in the 4Hmode.
o 4L(Low range 4-wheel drive) When driving up or descending steep slopes or rough roads such as muddyroad. Especially when increased drive power is required. The indication light "LO" will be turnedon to remind you that you are in the 4L mode. CAUTION:
Do not select 4WD mode on dry paved roads. Especially on dry high way, never select the 4WD(4H or 4L).Four-wheel driving on dry paved roads for a long period will increase the fuel consumption with possiblenoise generation and early tire wear. In addition, differential oil tempera- ture increases with possible driv-ing system part wear.
! D090B01P-GAT Manual vacuum type free wheel hubs (If installed) The hubs are set to either the "FREE" position or the "LOCK" position by turning the handle.
1. FREE -
This position is for rear wheel drive.
2. LOCK - This position is for four wheel drive.
Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, adjust the free wheel hubs to Lock (Free) position, and then resume driv- ing. And select transfer shift switch todesired mode. D090B01P

D180J01P-GAT Weather strip To prevent freezing of the weather strip on the doors, the roof, etc., theyshould be treated with silicone grease. D180K01P-GAT Snow tires The use of snow tires is recommended for driving in snow and ice. To pre- serve driving stability, mount snow tires of the same size and tread pattern onall four wheels. Snow tires worn more than 50% are no longer suitable for use as snow tires.Snow tires which do not meet specifi- cations must not be used. NOTE: The laws and regulations concern- ing snow tires (driving speed, re- quired use, type, etc.) vary. Find out and follow the laws and regula-tions in your area.D180L01P-GAT Tire chains If tire chains are to be used, be sure that they are mounted on the rearwheels. Use only tire chains which are de- signed for use with the tires mountedon the vehicle; use of the incorrect size or type of chain could result in damage to the vehicle body.Before driving over long stretches of road which are free of snow, you should remove the chains to avoid damage tothe tires. NOTE: The laws and regulations concern- ing tire chains vary. Find out and follow the laws and regulations in your area.
D180H01P-GAT Parking brake If the atmospheric temperature is be- low freezing, park the vehicle with thegearshift lever in 1st or reverse and do not engage the parking brake. If the parking brake is engaged and there ismoisture on the brake linings, the lin- ings could become frozen to the brake drums, making it impossible to releasethe parking brake. When parking on a steep slope, turn the front wheels in towards the kerband chock the wheels. D180I01P-GAT Washing the vehicle The salt and other chemicals spread on winter roads in some areas can have a detrimental effect on a vehicle body. You should therefore wash thevehicle as often as convenient in ac- cordance with our care-instruction. Have a preservative applied and theunderfloor protection checked at an authorized HYUNDAI dealer before and after the cold weather season.

44IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

!
Raise the car high enough so that the fully inflated spare tire can be installed.To do this, you will need more ground clearance than is required to remove the flat tire. Using the jack handle, turn the release valve counterclockwise slow to lower the ram, and then take out the jack.Press the piston down all the way and turn the release valve clockwise as far as possible. HAUT407

CAUTION:
o Use only the jack included with the vehicle and use it only for changing a wheel.
o Position the jack on a hard level
surface.
o If the release valve is loosened
by turning it 2 or more times in the counterclockwise direction, the jack’s oil will leak and the jack cannot be used.
o This jack is hydraulic, and the ram is a two-stage type. Whenboth rams are raised and the stopmark(Green paint) of the upper
! Stop mark
ram becomes visible, stop jack- ing immediately.Further extension of the ram may damage the jack.
o When the jack is used, be sure
that there is no one in or underthe vehicle.
o When jacking up the vehicle, do so only until the tires are slightlylifted from the ground. It is dan- gerous to jack up the vehiclemore than that much.
o It is very dangerous if the jack
somehow slips, so never leavethe vehicle in the jacked-up posi- tion, and never shake the vehicle while it is raised.
WARNING:
Do not get under the car when it is supported by the jack! This is very dangerous as the vehicle could falland cause serious injury or death. No one should stay in the car while the jack is being used.

DO-IT YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
25
Tires tend to wear unevenly over a long period of service. To make surethat the tires wear evenly as possible and for longer tire life, rotate the wheels in the sequence illustrated. Take the vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer to have the chance of the wheels properly adjusted.
CAUTION:
If the front wheels are of a different type from the rear and spare wheels, do not attempt to mountthe wheel for front onto rear. In this instance, use the type 2 wheel rotation method.
