A/T(Automatic Transmis- sion) Oil TemperatureWarning Light (Not allmodels)
CAUTION:
If the warning light doesn't go off or blinks, this indicates that there is a malfunction in the automatic trans-mission or T.C.U (Transmission Control Unit). If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by anauthorised Hyundai dealer.
B260U01TB-EAT Immobiliser Warning Light (Diesel Engine)
This warning light comes on for some seconds after the ignition key is turnedto the "ON" position. At this time, you can start the engine. The light goes out after the engine is running. In case thislight goes out before you start the engine, you must turn to the "LOCK" position and restart the engine. In casethis light blinks for five seconds when the ignition key is turned to "ON" posi- tion, this indicates that the immobilisersystem is out of order. At this time, consult to the Hyundai dealer.B260R01HP-GAT 4WD LOW Indicator Light
The A/T oil temperature warning light comes on when the automatic trans- mission oil temperature goes up to thetemperature that may result in serious damage of automatic transmission. If the A/T oil temperature warning lightcomes on whilst driving, park your vehicle in at a safe place as soon as possible. With the selector lever shiftedinto "P" position, allow the engine to idle until the warning light goes off. When the warning light goes off, thevehicle can be driven normally. When the key is turned to the "ON"position, the 4WD(Four Wheel Drive) LOW indicator light will come on and then go off in a few seconds.The 4WD LOW indicator light comes on when the transfer shift knob is set to low position (Part-time 4WD type : 4Lposition, Full-time 4WD type : Low position).

14FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
D090A01P-GAT You can send your engine power to all front and rear wheels for maximum power. 4WD is useful when you drive in snow, mud, ice, mountainous orsandy areas where good traction is required, or when your wheels lose traction using two-wheel drive.
proximately 1,000rpm by means ofthe accelerator pedal and the selec-tor lever moved between the "D" and "R" positions to induce a rocking motion.
o Do not depress the accelerator pedal with the brakes applied and the se-lector at the "R", "D", "2" or "L"position.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good
fuel economy and smooth driving.But if engine braking is needed in the "D" range or if repeated upshifting and downshifting between the 3rdand 4th gear is needed when climb- ing a gentle slope, it is recommended that the overdrive switch be turnedoff. Turn the overdrive switch back on immediately afterward.
!WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns. o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control of yourvehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the road-way and the driver oversteers toreenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
o Excessive depressing of the accelerater pedal under the tyreslip condition such as moving outof the mud or fresh snow etc, may cause severe damage to the trans- mission. At this time, take otherway such as towing.

C350A01HP-EAT Part-time 4WD operation (Not all models) 1. Knob position This is used to set different positions. 2H(Rear-wheel drive) When driving on normal roads and highway. 4H(High range 4-wheel drive) When driving off-road, wet or snow- covered roads with normal speed. The 4WD HIGH indicator light ( )will be turned on to remind you that you are in the 4H mode.
!
4L(Low range 4-wheel drive) Use "4L" for climbing or descending steep hills, off-road driving, and ve-hicle towing. Especially when increased drive power is required.The 4WD LOW indicator light ( ) will be turned on to remind you that you are in the 4L mode.
2. Transfer shift knob operation By turning the transfer shift knob(4H, 4L), both axles of the vehicle are rigidlyconnected with each other. This im- proves the traction characteristics.
2H

4H
Turn the transfer shift knob from the 2H mode to the 4H mode at speed below 50mph (80 km/h). It is not nec- essary to depress the clutch pedal(Manual Transmission) or put the shift lever into "N(neutral)" position (Auto- matic Transmission). Perform thisoperation when driving straight. 4H

2H
Turn the transfer shift knob from the4H mode to the 2H mode at speedbelow 50mph (80 km/h). It is not nec- essary to depress the clutch pedal (Manual Transmission) or put the shiftlever into "N(neutral)" position (Auto- matic Transmission). Perform this op- eration when driving straight.
CAUTION:
Do not select 4WD (4H or 4L) modeon 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 consumption with possiblenoise generation and early tyre wear. In addition, axle gear oil tem- perature increases with possibledriving system part wear.

D090E02HP-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 vari- ety of off road applications. Specificdesign characteristics give them a higher centre of gravity than ordinary cars. An advantage of the higherground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you to anticipate problems. They are not designed forcornering at the same speeds as conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-slung sports carsare designed to perform satisfacto- rily under off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abruptmaneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in lossof control or vehicle rollover. o Do not grip the inside or spokes of
the steering wheel when driving off-road. The steering wheel could jerk and injure your hands. Always firmly hold the outer steering wheel whenyou are driving off-road.
o Drive at lower speeds in strong cross-
winds. Because of your vehicle’shigh centre of gravity, its stability will be affected in crosswinds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle con-trol.
o Check your brake condition once
you are out of mud or water. Pressthe brake several times as you move slowly until your feel normal braking forces return.
o Four-wheel driving on flat and normal roads can result in a severe bindingcondition when turning the steeringwheel.
Driving on dry paved road and highway Select the 2H(2WD) to drive on dry paved roads. Especially on dry high- way, never select the 4H or 4L(4WD).

HHP2114-E
Driving on snowy or icy roads Select the 4H or 4L in accordance with the road conditions, and then graduallydepress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Driving on sandy or muddy roads Select the 4H or 4L and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for asmooth start. Keep the pressure on the accelerator pedal constant as 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 descend slowly.
Driving in Water
Water can wash the grease from wheelbearings, causing rusting and prema-ture failure, and may also enter the axles, transmission and transfer case, reducing the gear oil's lubricating quali-ties.
Select the 4L mode and drive through slowly. The maximum advisable wading depthis approximately 15.7 in.(40 cm). Before driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, firstcheck the depth of the water and the bottom of the river bed for firmness. Drive slowly at the speed of 3mph (5km/h) and avoid deep water. Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the engineor other vehicle parts does not occur. Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage.
