DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

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.
