2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
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.
The engine speed should be held atapproximately 1,000rpm by meansof the accelerator pedal and the se- lector lever moved between the "D" and "R" positions to induce a rockingmotion.
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 upshiftingand downshifting between the 3rd and 4th gear is needed when climb- ing a gentle slope, it is recommendedthat the overdrive switch be turned off. 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 lanechanges or fast, sharp turns. o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbeltedperson is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control of yourvehicle at motorway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two
or more wheels drop off the road-way and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pullingback into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
o Excessive depressing of the
accelerater pedal under the tyre slip condition such as moving out of the mud or fresh snow etc, maycause severe damage to the trans- mission. At this time, take other way such as towing.

!
CAUTION:
If overheating should occur when towing, (temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce or eliminate theproblem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. Whilst in stop and go traffic, place the gear selector in park or neu- tral and idle the engine at a higherspeed.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a
lower gear and use the engine brak-ing effect. When climbing a long grade, down- shift the transmission to a lowergear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine overloading and/ or overheating.
15.If you have to stop whilst going uphill, do not hold the vehicle inplace by pressing on the accelera-tor. This can cause the automatic transmission to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transmission fluid more frequently.
8. When parking your car and trailer,
especially on a hill, be sure to follow all the normal precautions. Turn your front wheels into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transmission in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, we advise the use of wheelchocks at each of the trailer's tyres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes,
start your vehicle and trailer mov-ing, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection at the same time.
10.During your trip, check occasion- ally to be sure that the load issecure, and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel- eration or sudden stops.
12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13.Avoid holding the brake pedal down
too long or too frequently. This couldcause the brakes to overheat, re- sulting in reduced braking efficiency.

NOTE:The inspection and testing of cer-
tain electronic fuel injection/engine management and automatic trans- mission control systems requirespecialised electronic equipment specifically designed for Hyundai vehicles. The use of general pur-pose electrical test equipment may result in damage to the control unit microprocessors.
DF020C2-E
Specified Scheduled Procedures
The specified scheduled procedures
are listed in the maintenance chartsbeginning at page 5-3. The operationsspecified must be performed at the time or mileage intervals shown irre- spective of whether the mileage inter-val has been reached before the speci- fied time interval.
Certain lubricants and components
degrade with both time and mileage(eg, engine oil and brake fluid) and therefore it is not permissable to basethe maintenance schedule upon mile- age alone. DF020F1-E
SERVICE HISTORY
It is important that all scheduled main-
tenance services are recorded in the warranty and service passport to en- sure that proof of maintenance is avail- able when warranty service is required. It is strongly recommended that the
maintenance operations are performedby a Hyundai authorised repairer be- cause of the need for specialised knowl- edge and tooling and to ensure that nopossibility of invalidating the manufac- turers warranty exists.
The maintenance schedules relate to
vehicles operated under normal condi-tions, vehicles which are operated under adverse conditions will requiremore frequent maintenance which is described at page 5-6. NOTE:
Service schedules may change de-
pending on individual country needs. Please ask your local Hyundai authorised repairer for a copy of the service schedule thatrelates to that country.MAINTENANCE AND SER- VICING REQUIREMENTS
DF020A1-E To ensure the continued reliability and safety of the vehicle, certain routine maintenance operations are requiredat specific mileage or time intervals.It is the responsibility of the vehicleowner to ensure that the maintenanceschedules shown in both this Owner's Manual and the Warranty and Service Passport are adhered to.The new vehicle warranty may beinvalidated if the routine maintenanceoperations are not performed in line with the recommendations outlined and the safety and durability of the vehicleadversely affected.It is recommended that all mainte-nance operations with the exception ofthe daily operating checks are en- trusted to a Hyundai authorised re- pairer to ensure that the latest repairand maintenance procedures and spe- cialized servicing tools are employed. In addition, the use of genuine Hyundaireplacement parts will ensure that the vehicle safety and performance will not be compromised.

!
The engine oil and filter must be changed at the time or mileage intervalspecified in the maintenance sched- ule. If the vehicle is operated under severe
or adverse conditions, the oil and filter must be replaced more frequently.
To replace the oil and filter, proceed as
follows:
1. Ensure that the engine is at normal
operating temperature and park the vehicle on level ground with the parking brake securely applied and the engine turned off.
2. Open the bonnet and remove the oil filler cap.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced oil and re-move the drain plug from the sump. 4. When the oil has drained from the
sump, replace the drain plug using anew gasket ensuring that the plug is not over tightened.
Tightening torque : 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating counterclockwise, using a propri- etary oil filter removal tool if neces- sary. Note that the oil filter will contain approximately 0.5 litres ofoil and this should be collected in a suitable receptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared the sealing ring with cleanoil and rotating clockwise until the filter contacts the mounting andthen a further one half turn. Do not over-tighten. Tightening torque: Petrol Engine - 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m Diesel Engine - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Remove the engine oil level dipstick.
8. Pour the specified quantity of the recommended oil into the engine and replace the filler cap. Start the
CAUTION:
The oil being drained from the en-
gine will be hot. Care should be exercised to prevent scalding.

16AUTOMATIC TRANSMIS- SION LUBRICANT
G110A04HP-EAT Transmission lubricant should be changed at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedulein Section 5. NOTE: Basically automatic transmission fluid is red in colour. As driving distance increases, the fluid colourturns darkish red gradually. It is normal condition and you should not use fluid colour as a criterionfor replacing the transmission fluid.You must replace the automatictransmission fluid in accordancewith intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenances schedule in section 5.
Recommended Lubricant Use only MOBIL DEXRON-II. Dam-age caused by a nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new vehicle lim- ited warranty.
! CAUTION:
The transmission lubricant level should only be checked when the engine is cold to prelude the possi- bility of personal injury by contactwith hot components.
1. To check the transmission lubricant level, the vehicle should be placedon level ground and the level plug removed with a suitable spanner.
2. If the level is correct, lubricant should begin to drip from the plug orifice. In this case the plug shouldbe replaced.If the level is incorrect, lubricantshould be added until it begins to drip from the plug orifice at which time the plug should be replaced.
!
Transmission Fluid Capacity The fluid capacity of the automatic transmission is 10.5 litres (Petrol En- gine)/ 11.8 litres (Diesel Engine).
CAUTION:
The transmission fluid level shouldbe checked when the engine is at normal operating temperature. Thismeans that the engine, radiator, exhaust system etc., are very hot so you should exercise great carenot to burn yourself during this procedure.
