WARNING:
o The 2WD Santa Fe is not designed for
off-road use. The AWD Santa Fe is
designed primarily for use on paved
roads. However, occasional use in
off-highway conditions such as es-
tablished unpaved roads and non-
challenging off-road trails is allowed.
The AWD Santa Fe is not designed for
blazing new trails, challenging off-road
conditions, or unpaved hill climbing.
Exceeding the conditions that were
intended for the vehicle's primary
design may result in injury or death.
o Utility vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types
of vehicles.
o In a rollover crash, an unbelted per-
son is significantly more likely to die
than a person wearing a seat belt.o Sport utility vehicle have higher
ground clearance and a narrower
track to make them capable of per-
forming in a wide variety of off-road
applications. Specific design charac-
teristics give them a higher center of
gravitiy than ordinary cars. An ad-
vantage of the higher ground clear-
ance is a better view of the road allow-
ing you to anticipate problems. They
are not designed for cornering at the
same speeds as conventional 2-wheel
drive vehicles any more than low-
slung sports cars are designed to
perform satisfactorily under off-road
conditions. If at all possible, avoid
sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As
with other vehicles of this type, failure
to operate this vehicle correctly may
result in loss of control or vehicle
rollover.
o In a collision, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to be seri-
ously injured or killed than a person
wearing a seatbelt.

BEFORE STARTING THE
ENGINEC020A03A-AATBefore you start the engine, you should
always:

there are no flat tires, puddles of oil,
water or other indications of possible
trouble.
2. After entering the car, check to be sure
the parking brake is engaged.
3. Check that all windows, and lights are
clean.
4. Check that the interior and exterior mir-
rors are clean and in position.
5. Check your seat, seatback and head-
rest to be sure they are in their proper
positions.

!
WARNING:
Your vehicle is equipped with tires de-
signed to provide for safe ride and han-
dling capability.
Do not use a size and type of tire and
wheel that is different from the one that
is originally installed on your vehicle. It
can affect the safety and performance
of your vehicle, which could lead to han-
dling failure or rollover and serious in-
jury.
When replacing the tires, be sure to equip
all four tires with the tire and wheel of the
same size, type, tread, brand and load-
carrying capacity.
WARNING:
o All passengers must be properly
belted whenever the vehicle is mov-
ing. Refer to pages: 1-27 through 1-
33 for more information on their proper
use.
o Always check the surrounding areas
near your vehicle for people, espe-
cially children, before putting a car
into 'drive.'
o Always wear appropriate shoes when
operating your vehicle. Unsuitable
shoes (high heels, ski boots, etc.) may
interfere with your ability to use the
brake and accelerator pedal, and the
clutch (if installed).

Driving AWD Safely(1)As always, be sure to wear the seat belt.
(2)Do not drive in challenging off-road
conditions or areas that exceed the
vehicle's basic design intent or the
driver's experience level.
(3)Drive at lower speeds in strong cross-
winds. Because of your vehicle's higher
center of gravity, its stability will be
affected in crosswinds. Slower speeds
ensure better vehicle control.
(4)Check the brake condition after driving
in wet or muddy conditions. Press the
brake several times as you move slowly
until you feel normal braking forces
return.
(5)Do not drive the vehicle through water.
(i.e. streams, rivers, lakes, etc.)
(6)When driving on a snow-covered road
or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure
that you keep a sufficient distance be-
tween your vehicle and the one ahead
of you.(7)Since the driving torque is always ap-
plied to all 4 wheels, the performance of
the full-time AWD vehicle is affected by
the condition of the tires. Be sure to
equip your vehicle with four tires of the
same size and type.
o When replacement of any of the tires
or wheels is necessary, replace all
of them with tires or wheels of the
same size type.
o Rotate the tires and check the tire
pressure at regular intervals.

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICESC130A02A-AAT
WARNING:
o Whenever leaving vehicle or parking,
always set the parking brake as far as
possible and fully engage the vehicle's
transaxle into the park position. Ve-
hicles not fully engaged in park with
the parking brake set are at risk for
moving inadvertently and injuring
yourself or others.
o All vehicles should always have the
parking brake fully engaged when
parking to avoid inadvertent move-
ment of the car which can injure occu-
pants or pedestrians.
o Nothing should be carried on top of
the shelf panel behind the rear seat. If
there were an accident or a sudden
stop, such objects could move for-
ward and cause damage to the ve-
hicle or injure the occupants.
!
This AWD system is designed for dividing
the power ratio automatically in normal
driving conditions.
During off-road or low-friction driving con-
ditions, press the AWD lock button to drive
in full-time AWD, dividing the power ratio
to 50:50 in the front and rear wheels. The
AWD lock indicator light in the instrument
cluster is illuminated.
This setup begins to get cancelled when
the vehicle speed exceeds 19 mph, and
the function is completely released at a
speed of 25 mph or higher. Conversely,
the function is rerun when the speed again
drops to 25 mph or lower, and is fully
established at speeds below 19 mph.
To release the AWD lock function, press
the AWD lock button again.
The AWD lock indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster should go off.1) Pressing the AWD lock button on the
tough terrain, the driving power is
equally distributed to the front and rear.
AWD lock keeps activating when not
exceeding 25 mph.
2) Release the AWD lock button on the
normal driving conditions.

Vehicle capacity weight:o 5 passenger vehicle : 930 lbs (420 kg)
o 7 passenger vehicle : 1120 lbs (506 kg)Vehicle capacity weight is the maxi-
mum combined weight of occupants
and cargo. If your vehicle is equipped

cargo being carried or towed. Do not
overload the vehicle as there is a limit
to the total weight, or load limit including
occupants and cargo, the vehicle can
carry.Towing capacity:
Towing capacity is the maximum trailer
weight including its cargo weight, your

weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX pounds'' on your
vehicle's placard.
