Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and prema-ture failure, and may also enter the axles, transmission and transfer case, reducing the gear oil's lubricating quali-ties.
!
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 the danger that rotatingtires touching 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 sometimesbe driven out by depressing the accelerator pedal further; how- ever, avoid running the enginecontinuously at high rpm be- cause doing so could damage the 4WD system.
Driving in Water Select the LOW mode and drive through slowly. The maximum advisable wading depthis approximately 40cm (15.7 in.). 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 5 km/h(3mph) and avoid deep water. Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the en-gine or other vehicle parts does not occur. Water entering the engine air intakewill cause severe engine damage.

Driving on sandy or muddy roads Select the LOW and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for asmooth start. Keep the pressure on the accelerator pedal constant as pos- sible, and drive at low speed. Climbing sharp grades Select the LOW to maximize use the engine torque. Descending sharp grades Select the LOW, use the engine brake and descend slowly.

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 objectscould move forward and cause dam- age to the vehicle or injure the oc- cupants.
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 wetwhen the car is washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Your car will notstop as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet brakes cause the car to pull to one side. To dry the brakes, applythe brakes lightly until the braking action returns to normal, taking care to keep the car under control at alltimes. If the braking action does not return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your Hyundaidealer for assistance.
GOOD BRAKING PRAC- TICES
LIMITED-SLIP DIFFEREN- TIAL (LSD)
D190A01HP-GAT (If Installed) A limited-slip differential, if equipped, is for the rear wheel differential only.The features of this limited-slip differ- ential are described below: Just as with a conventional differential,the wheel on one side is allowed to turn at a different speed from the wheel on the other side when the vehicle iscornering. The difference between the limited-slip differential and a conven- tional differential is that if the wheel onone side of the vehicle loses traction, a greater amount of torque is applied to the rear wheel on the other side toimprove traction. CAUTION:
o Never start the engine with the gearshift lever placed in the for-ward or reverse while one of therear wheels is jacked up and the other in contact with the ground; doing so may cause the vehicleto jump forward.
o Use only recommended oil for
LSD in the rear axle.See page 9-5 for the recom- mended oil descriptions.

o Don't coast down hills with the car out of gear. This is extremely haz- ardous. Keep the car in gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down, then shift to a lower gear so thatengine braking will help you main- tain a safe speed.
o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Rest- ing your foot on the brake pedalwhile driving can be dangerous be- cause it can result in the brakesoverheating and losing their effec- tiveness. It also increases the wear of thebrake components.
o If a tire goes flat while you are
driving, apply the brakes gently andkeep the car pointed straight ahead while you slow down. When you are moving slowly enough for it to besafe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe place.
o If your car is equipped with an auto- matic transmission, don't let yourcar creep forward. To avoid creep- ing forward, keep your foot firmly onthe brake pedal when the car is stopped.
o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage the parking brake and place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic transmission) or in first orreverse gear (manual transmission). If your car is facing downhill, turn the front wheels into the curb to helpkeep the car from rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turn the front wheels away from the curb to help keep thecar from rolling. If there is no curb or if it is required by other conditions to keep the car from rolling, block thewheels.
o Under some conditions your park-
ing brake can freeze in the engagedposition. This is most likely to hap- pen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near therear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the parking brake may freeze, apply it only tem-porarily while you put the gear se- lector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first or reverse gear (manual trans-mission) and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up- grade with the accelerator pedal.This can cause the transmission tooverheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
C140A02A-AAT You can save fuel and get more miles from your car if you follow these sug- gestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don't make "jack- rabbit" starts or full-throttle shiftsand maintain a steady cruising speed. Don't race between stop- lights. Try to adjust your speed tothat of the other traffic so you don't have to change speeds unneces- sarily. Avoid heavy traffic wheneverpossible. Always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary braking. Thisalso reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The
faster you drive, the more fuel yourcar uses. Driving at a moderate speed, especially on the highway, is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.

As the jack begins to raise the vehicle, double check that it is properly posi-tioned and will not slip. 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 lowerthe ram, and then take out the jack. When the release valve is difficult to turn by jack handle, connect the wheelnut wrench to the jack handle. CAUTION:
1) Use only the jack included with the vehicle and use it only forchanging a wheel and for in- stalling tire chains.
2) Position the jack on a hard, level surface.
3) 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. Stop mark
