Driving on dry paved road and highway Select 2H(2WD) to drive on dry paved roads. Especially on dry highway, neverselect the 4H or 4L(4WD). Driving on snowy or icy roads Select the 4H or 4L in accordance with the road conditions, and then gradu- ally depress 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 a smooth start. Keep the pressure on the accelerator pedal constant as pos-sible, and drive at low speed. Climbing sharp grades Select the 4L to maximize use the engine torque. Descending sharp grades Select 4L, use the engine brake and descend slowly. Driving in Water
Select the 4L mode and drive throughslowly. 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. 40cm

As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle cor-rectly may result in loss of 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 firmlyhold the outer steering wheel when you are driving off-road.
o Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds. Because of yourvehicle's high center of gravity, its stability will be affected in cross-winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle control.
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 brakingforces return.
o Four-wheel driving on flat and nor-
mal roads can result in a severebinding condition when turning the steering wheel.

When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface,make sure that you keep a suffi- cient distance between your ve- hicle and the one ahead of you.
(6) Since the driving torque is always applied to the 4 wheels, the perfor-mance of the full-time 4WD vehicleis greatly affected by the condition of the tires. Be sure to equip it with all four tires of the same size andtype.
o When replacement of any of the
tires or disc wheels is neces-sary, replace all of them.
o Rotate the tires and check the
tire pressure at regular inter-vals. (7)The full-time 4WD vehicle can-
not be towed by an ordinary towtruck. Make sure that the vehicle is towed with its four wheels raised off the ground.
o If the vehicle is towed with its only two wheels raised off theground, the 4WD system could be damaged.
o In unavoidable case, if the ve-
hicle is being towed with all fourwheels on the ground, it should be towed only forward directionwith rope.
WARNING:
Your vehicle is equipped with tiresdesigned to provide for safe rideand handling capability. Do not use a size and type of tire and wheel that is different from theone that was originally installed on your vehicle. It can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle,which could lead to handling fail-ure or rollover and serious injury. When replacing the tires, be sure to equip all four tires with the tire andwheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load-carrying capacity. If you nevertheless decide to equipyour vehicle with any tire/wheel combination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, youshould not use these tires for high- way driving.

AUTO
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Depress the clutch pedal (Manual Transmission) or put the shift lever into "N (neutral)" position (Automatic Transmission).
3. Turn the transfer shift knob to
"AUTO" mode.
Driving 4WD Safely
(1) Be sure to wear the seat belt.
(2) Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds. Because of yourvehicle's high center of gravity, its stability will be affected in cross- winds. Slower speeds ensure bet-ter vehicle control.
(3) Check the brake condition after
driving in wet or muddy conditions.Press the brake several times as you move slowly until you feel nor- mal braking forces return.
(4) Do not drive the vehicle through water. (i.e. streams, rivers, lakes,etc.)
(5) The stopping distance of the full- time 4WD vehicle differs very littlefrom that of the 2WD vehicle.

TIRE INFORMATION
The tires supplied on your new
Hyundai are chosen to provide the best performance for normal driving. I030A02HP-GAT RECOMMENDED INFLATION PRESSURES
The tire label located on the driver's
side of the center pillar outer panel gives the tire pressures recommended for your vehicle. 7.0Jx16

These pressures were chosen to pro- vide the most satisfactory combina-tion of ride comfort, tire wear and stability under normal conditions. Tire pressures should be checked monthlyat least. Proper tire inflation pres- sures should be maintained for these reasons:
o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures cause uneven tread wear and poor handling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures increase the chance ofdamage from impacts and cause uneven tread wear.
