DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

!
CAUTION:
o While the full-time 4WD vehicle is being
raised on a jack, never start the engine or
cause the tires to rotate.
There is danger that rotating tires touch-
ing the ground could cause the vehicle
to go off the jack and to jump forward.
o If one of the front or rear wheels begins
to spin in mud, snow, etc., the vehicle
can sometimes be driven out by de-
pressing the accelerator pedal further;
however, avoid running the engine con-
tinuously at high rpm because doing so
could damage the 4WD system. (10)When using tire chains, always attach them
to the front wheels.
(11)If the front or rear wheels get stuck in the
mud, do not spin them recklessly. The 4WD
system could be damaged.
o In rare cases when it's unavoidable that
a 4WD vehicle is to be inspected on a
2WD roll tester, strictly follow the proce-
dures.
1. Check the tire pressures recom-
mended for your vehicle.
2. Place the front wheels on the roll
tester as shown in the illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the rear wheels on the tempo-
rary free roller as shown in the illustra-
tion.
!!
WARNING:
Keep away from the front of the vehicle
while inspecting. This is very dangerous as
the vehicle can jump forward and cause
serious injury or death.
!
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, an unbelted person is
signicantly more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a person wearing a
seat belt.
o Loss of control may occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway and
the driver oversteers to reenter the road-
way.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road-
way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into the travel
lanes. (9)For a speedometer test or inspection/main-
tenance (I/M) program of a Tucson 4WD
vehicle, use a four wheel chassis dynamom-
eter.
CAUTION:
Never engage the parking brake while per-
forming these tests.

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICESC130A01A-AAT
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of the
cargo area cover behind the rear seat. If
there were an accident or a sudden stop,
such objects could move forward and cause
damage to the vehicle or injure the occu-
pants.
!
o After being parked, check to be sure the
parking brake is not engaged and that the
parking brake indicator light is out before
driving away.
o Driving through water may get the brakes
wet. They can also get wet when the car is
washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous!
Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakes
are wet. Wet brakes may cause the car to
pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the
brakes lightly while driving slowly until the
braking action returns to normal, taking care
to keep the car under control at all times. If
the braking action does not return to normal,
stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your
Hyundai dealer for assistance.
4WD LOCK SYSTEMC360A01O-GAT(With Electronic Control 4WD)
(If installed)This 4WD system is designed for dividing the
power ratio automatically in normal driving con-
ditions.
During off-road or low-friction driving condi-
tions, press the 4WD lock button to drive in full-
time 4WD, dividing the power ratio to 50:50 in the
front and rear wheels. The 4WD lock indicator
light in the instrument cluster is illuminated.
This setup begins to get cancelled when the
vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h, and the func-
tion is completely released at a speed of 40 km/
h or higher. Conversely, the function is rerun
when the speed again drops to 40 km/h or lower,
and is fully established at speeds below 30 km/
h.To release the 4WD lock function, press the
4WD lock button again.
The 4WD lock indicator light in the instrument
cluster should go off.
C360A01JM-U
1) Pressing the 4WD lock button on the tough
terrain, the driving power is equally distrib-
uted to the front and rear.
4WD lock keeps activating when not ex-
ceeding 40 km/h.
2) Release the 4WD lock button on the normal
driving conditions.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
13
!
1) If the vehicle is being towed with the rear
wheels on the ground, be sure the parking
brake is released.NOTE:Before towing, check the level of the auto-
matic transaxle fluid. If it is below the "HOT"
range on the dipstick, add fluid. If you
cannot add fluid, a towing dolly must be
used.
2) If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the vehicle is
being towed with the front wheels on the
ground, use a towing dolly under the front
wheels.
HJM4019D080B02O-AAT
Towing the 4 Wheel Drive Vehicle
D080C04JMdollydolly
CAUTION:
A vehicle with an automatic transaxle should
never be towed from the rear with the front
wheels on the ground. This can cause se-
rious damage to the transaxle. Be sure to
use a towing dolly under the front wheels.
When towing the 4WD vehicle, it must be towed
by lifting all 4 wheels or using the towing dolly. 3) It is recommended that your vehicle be
towed with all the wheels off the ground.

314
WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
For emergency towing when no commercial
tow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable,
chain or strap to one of the towing hooks under
the front/rear of your vehicle. Be very careful
when attempting this procedure when the ve-
hicle is on any unpaved surface to avoid dam-
age to your vehicle.
Nor should towing be attempted if the wheels,
drive train, axles, steering or brakes are dam-
aged. Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in
neutral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engine
off) or in the "ON" position (with the engine
running). A driver must be in the towed vehicle
to steer it and operate the brakes.NOTE:To avoid serious damage to your 4WD ve-
hicle, limit the towing to 10 mph and not for
more than 1 mile at ANY TIME.

CAUTION:
o The 4WD vehicle should never be towed
with the wheels on the ground. This can
cause serious damage to the transaxle
or the 4WD system.
o When towing the vehicle, take care not to
cause damage to the bumper or under-
body of the vehicle.
!

o Do not tow with sling type truck as this
may cause damage to the bumper or
underbody of the vehicle.
