o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off theroadway 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 pull- ing back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed lim- its.
o If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then youmay attempt to rock the vehicle free by moving it forward andbackward. Do not attempt this procedure if people or objects are anywhere near the vehicle.During the rocking operation the vehicle may suddenly move for- ward of backward as it becomesunstuck, causing injury or dam- age to nearby people or objects.!WARNING:
Your ABS (ESP) will not prevent accidents due to improper or dan-gerous driving manoeuvres. Even though vehicle control is improved during emergency braking, alwaysmaintain a safe distance between you and objects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reducedduring extreme road conditions. The braking distance for cars equipped with an anti-lock brakingsystem (the electronic stability pro- gram) may be longer than for those without it in the following road con-ditions. These roads should be driven at reduced speeds.
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.
o With tyre chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface is pitted or has different surface height.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
C120A01FC-DAT The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up dur- ing sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS control modulemonitors the wheel speed and controls the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or onslick roads, ABS will increase vehicle control during braking. NOTE:
o A click sound may be heard in the engine compartment when the vehicle begins to move after the engine is started. These condi- tions are normal and indicate thatthe anti-lock brake system (Elec- tronic Stability Program) is func- tioning properly.
o During ABS (ESP) operation, a
slight pulsation may be felt in thebrake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine compartmentwhile braking. These conditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system (ElectronicStability Program) is functioning properly.

(9) When using tyre chains, be sure to
install the chains on all wheels.
(10) If the front or rear wheels get stuck
in the mud, do not spin them reck- lessly. The 4WD system could bedamaged.
CAUTION:
o While the full-time 4WD vehicle is being raised on a jack, never startthe engine or cause the tyres torotate.There is the danger that rotatingtyres 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 sometimes be driven out by depressing the accelerator pedal further; how-ever, avoid running the engine continuously at high rpm because doing so could damage the 4WDsystem.
!
WARNING:
Keep away from the front of the ve- hicle while inspecting. This is very dangerous as the vehicle can jumpforward and cause serious injury or death. o In rare cases when it's unavoid-
able that a 4WD vehicle is to be inspected for speedometer test on 2WD roll tester, strictly follow the procedures next.
1. Check the tyre pressures rec-ommended for your vehicle.
2. Place the front wheels on the
roll tester for speedometer test as shown in the illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the rear wheels on the temporary free roller as shownin the illustration.
Roll tester(Speedometer)
(8)For speedometer test or inspection/ maintenance (I/M) program of SANTA FE 4WD, use a four wheel chassis dynamometer.
CAUTION:
Never engage the parking brake whileperforming these tests.

23WINTER DRIVING
C160A01A-DAT The more severe weather conditions of winter result in greater wear and other problems. To minimise the problems of winter driving, you should follow thesesuggestions: C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in thecooling system. It is the only type of coolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the coolingsystem, lubricates the water pump and prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accordancewith the maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5. Before winter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freezing pointis sufficient for the temperatures antici- pated during the winter.
C160B01A-DAT Snowy or Icy Conditions To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tyres or to install tyre chains on your tyres. If snow tyres are needed, it is necessary to select tyres equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tyres.Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your car. Furthermore, speeding, rapid accelera-tion, sudden brake applications, and sharp turns are potentially very hazard- ous practices. During deceleration, use engine brak-ing to the fullest extent. Sudden brakeapplications on snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep sufficient distance between the vehiclein operation in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted that installing tyre chains onthe tyre will provide a greater driving force, but will not prevent side skids. NOTE: Tyre chains are not legal in all states. Check state laws before fitting tyre chains.
C160D01A-DAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery and charging system. Visually inspect the battery and cables as de-scribed in Section 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by your Hyundai dealer or a service station.

C160J01A-AAT Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumu- late Underneath Under some conditions, snow and ice can build up under the fenders andinterfere with the steering. When driving in severe winter conditions where this may happen, you should periodicallycheck underneath the car to be sure the movement of the front wheels and the steering components are not obstructed. C160K01A-DAT Carry Emergency Equipment Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, you should carry appropriate emergency equip-ment. Some of the items you may want to carry include tyre chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight, emergency flares,sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a win- dow scraper, gloves, ground cloth, cov- eralls, a blanket, etc.HIGHER SPEED MOTORING
C170A01A-DAT Pre-Trip Inspections
1. Tyres: Adjust the tyre inflation pressures tospecification. Low tyre inflation pres- sures will result in overheating and possible failure of the tyres. Avoid us-ing worn or damaged tyres which may result in reduced traction or tyre failure. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tyre in- flation pressure shown on the tyres.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil: High speed travel consumes more fuel than urban motoring. Do not forget tocheck both engine coolant and engine oil.
3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt may result in overheating of the engine.
C160I01A-AAT Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged posi-tion. This is most likely to happen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if thebrakes are wet. If there is a risk the parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the gearselector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the carcannot roll. Then release the parking brake.

TYRE ROTATION
WARNING:
o Do not use the temporary spare tyre for tyre rotation.
o Do not mix bias-ply and radial- ply tyres under any circum-stances. This may cause dangerous han- dling characteristics that may cause death, serious injury, orproperty damage.
I050A01O-DAT
TYRE CHAINS
Tyre chains, if necessarly, should be
installed on all wheels. Be sure that the chains are the proper size and that they are installed in accordance withthe manufacturer's instructions. To minimise tyre and chain wear, do
not continue to use tyre chains when they are no longer needed.
WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire &
plastic chains.
o If you have noise caused by chains contacting the body, re-tighten the chain to avoid contactwith the vehicle body.
o To prevent body damage, re- tighten the chains after driving 0.5~1 km (0.3~0.6 mile).
