be turned on to remind you that you are in the 4L mode.
CAUTION: Do not select 4WD (4H or 4L) mode on dry
paved roads. Especially on dry highway, never select the 4WD mode. Four-wheel driving on dry paved roads for a
long period will increase the fuel consump-tion with possible noise generation and ear-ly tyre wear. In addition, axle gear oil tem-perature increases with possible driving sys-tem part wear. D090E01HP-EAT
Driving Four-wheel drive safely
o The driving posture should be more upright; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation.
o Be sure to wear the seat belt.
o Drive carefully when off the road and avoid dangerous areas.
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 centre 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 centre ofgravity, its stability will be affected in cross-winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehiclecontrol.

o Check your brake condition once you are
out of mud or water. Press the brake several times 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.
Driving on dry paved road and high- way Select the 2H(2WD) to drive on dry paved roads. Especially on dry highway, never selectthe 4H or 4L(4WD).
Driving on snowy or icy roads Select the 4H or 4L in accordance with the roadconditions, and then gradually depress the ac-celerator pedal for a smooth start.
Driving on sandy or muddy roads Select the 4H or 4L and then gradually depressthe accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Keepthe pressure on the accelerator pedal constantas possible, and drive at low speed.
Climbing sharp grades Select the 4L to maximize use the engine torque.
Descending sharp grades Select the 4L, use the engine brake and de-scend slowly. Driving in Water
Select the 4L mode and drive through slowly. The maximum advisable wading depth is ap- proximately 15.7 in.(40 cm). Before driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check the depthof the water and the bottom of the river bed forfirmness. Drive slowly at the speed of 3mph(5 km/h) and avoid deep water. Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the engine or other ve-hicle parts does not occur. Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage. Water can wash the grease from wheel bear- ings, causing rusting and premature failure, andmay also enter the axles, transmission andtransfer case, reducing the gear oil's lubricatingqualities.

LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (Not all models)
A limited-slip differential, if equipped, is for the
rear wheel differential only. The features of this limited-slip differential are described below:
Just as with a conventional differential, the
wheel on one side is allowed to turn at adifferent speed from the wheel on the other sidewhen the vehicle is cornering. The differencebetween the limited-slip differential and a con-ventional differential is that if the wheel on oneside of the vehicle loses traction, a greateramount of torque is applied to the rear wheel onthe other side to improve traction.

EFFECTIVE BRAKING Braking system performance and friction mate-rial life are greatly affected by the driving styleadopted. The following suggestions are madeto assist in achieving the best results from thebraking system.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead in order that heavy braking may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients, use the engine to assist in retarding the vehicle tominimize the possibility of brake fade occur-ring. o When trailer towing, ensure that the trailer
brakes function correctly and use enginebraking to assist the vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replacement brake pads and shoes to ensure consistentfriction characteristics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g. fording), the brakes may become wet andperformance reduced. Always check brakeefficiency after emerging from the water anddry the brakes by lightly depressing thebrake pedal several times whilst driving slow-ly.
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehi- cle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance provided by the brake servo is derived from the engine,coasting with the engine turned off or towingof the vehicle with the engine turned off willresult in greatly increased pedal pressuresbeing required to stop the vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransmission to overheat. Always use thebrake pedal or parking brake.
CAUTION:
o Whilst the full-time 4WD vehicle is being raised on a jack, never start the engine orcause the tyres to rotate. There is the danger that rotating tyres touching the ground could cause thevehicle to go off the jack and to jumpforward.
o If one of the front or rear wheels begins to spin in mud, snow, etc., the vehiclecan sometimes be driven out by depress-ing the accelerator pedal further; how-ever, avoid running the engine continu-ously at high rpm because doing so coulddamage the 4WD system.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel move- ments, such as sharp lane charges or fast, sharp turns.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at high-way speeds.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and thedriver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road- way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slowdown before pulling back into the travellanes.

Windscreen Washers & Wipers
The windscreen washer bottle should be filled with a solution of water and a proprietary winterscreen wash additive. The windscreen wipersshould not be used if the blades are frozen tothe windscreen or if they are covered withsnow, before this is removed. NOTE: Never allow undiluted screen washer fluid additive to spill upon the paintwork or useengine coolant anti-freeze since damage tothe paintwork may result.
o When driving in extreme conditions, the windscreen wiper blades may fail to clearthe screen properly due to the formation ofice upon the blade edge. It will therefore benecessary to periodically remove such iceto restore their efficiency.
o If the power operated door mirrors become frozen, attempts to adjust these may dam-age the mechanism.
o The formation of snow or ice build up inside the wheel arches may interfere with theroadwheels or steering mechanism. In suchinstances, unusual noises or an increase insteering effort may result. Therefore, ensurethat the wheelarches are checked periodi-cally and any accumulated snow or ice re-moved.

Electrical System
Winter conditions impose severe demands upon
vehicle electrical systems, particularly the charg-ing circuit. The battery condition and perfor-mance along with the alternator performanceand drive belt condition should be checked priorto the onset of winter.
YC170C1-E
Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitor The cooling system must always contain anEthylene-Glycol based anti-freeze solution. Thesystem is filled during manufacture with solu-tion of the correct strength which should bechecked before the onset of winter and adjust-ed or changed as required. NOTE: The anti-freeze solution contains a corro- sion inhibitor to prevent degradation of thealuminium castings contained within theengine. Therefore, never, drain the systemand refill with water only. In addition, anti-freeze solution must ALWAYS be used in vehicles fitted with air conditioning,to prevent the heater matrix from freezing andsubsequently bursting with the refrigeration sys-tem in use. ZC170D1-E
Door Locks
Should the door lock mechanism become fro-zen, a proprietary lock de-icer should be used.Alternatively, warming the door key may thawthe door lock. However, the key should behandled carefully to avoid burning the fingers. Never attempt to thaw a frozen door lock using hot water, since the water will eventually freezeand compound the problem. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immo-bilizer key is from -40°F to 176°F (-40°C to80°C). If you heat the immobilizer key over176°F to open the frozen lock, it may causedamage to the transponder in its head.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 18 NOTE:
1. Never load the trailer with more weight in the back than in the front. About 60% of the trailer load should be in the front halfon the trailer and the remaining 40% inthe rear.
2. The total gross vehicle weight with trailer must not exceed the Gross Vehicle WeightRating (GVWR) shown on the vehicleidentification plate (see page 8-1). Thetotal gross vehicle weight is the com-bined weight of the vehicle, driver, allpassengers and their luggage, cargo,towbar hitch, trailer nose weight and otheroptional equipment.
3. The front or rear axle weight must not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating(GAWR) shown on the vehicle identifica-tion plate (see page 8-1). It is possiblethat your towing package does not ex-ceed the GVWR but exceeds the GAWR. Improper trailer loading and/or too much luggage in the trunk can overload therear axle. Redistribute the load and checkthe axle weight again.
4. The maximum permissible static vertical load (nose weight) on the coupling de-vice is 254 Lbs. (115kg) 5. The maximum permissible overhang of
the coupling point is 48.4 inches (1230mm).

Important Trailer Weight Information
The Maximum Towable Weight of your Hyundai Terracan will be reduced if the vehicle is load. The Maximum Towable Weight for a fully load is vehicle is calculated as follows:
1. Find the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) plate (see section 8).
2. Note the top 2 weights (in kg) of the 4 lines of weight information on the VIN plate.
3. Subtract the weight on line 1 from line 2. This result (in kg) is the maximum towableweight of a fully loaded vehicle. For more information, contact your local Hyundai Dealer.
