Features of your vehicle
Glow indicator(Diesel engine)The indicator light illuminates when the
ignition switch is placed at the ON posi-
tion. The engine can be started after the
preheat indicator light goes off. The illu-
minating time varies with the water tem-
perature, air temperature and battery
condition.✽ ✽ NOTICEIf the engine was not started within 10
seconds after the preheating is complet-
ed, turn the ignition key once more to
the LOCK position during 10 seconds,
and then to the ON position, in order to
preheat again.
Fuel filter warning light
(Diesel engine)This warning light illuminates for 3 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is set to the
ON position and then it will go out. If it
lights up whilst the engine is running, it
indicates that water has accumulated
inside the fuel filter. If this happens,
remove the water from the fuel filter. For
more Information, refer to “Fuel filter” in
section 7.
4WD system warning light (if equipped) When the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, the 4WD indicator will illumi-
nate and then go off in a few seconds.
If the 4WD system warning light
illuminates, this indicates that there is a
malfunction in the 4WD system. If this
occurs, we recommend that the system
be checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
CAUTION
When the fuel filter warning light isilluminated, engine power (vehicle speed & idle speed) may decrease.If you keep driving with the warning light on, you can damage your vehi-cle's engine parts and injection sys- tem of the Common Rail. If thisoccurs, we recommend that the system be checked by a HYUNDAIauthorised repairer.
CAUTION
If the preheat indicator continues toilluminate or flash on and off after the engine has warmed up or whilstdriving, we recommend that thesystem be checked by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

Features of your vehicle80
44WD LOCK indicator
(if equipped)The 4WD LOCK indicator light is illumi-
nated when the 4WD LOCK button is
pushed. The purpose of this 4WD LOCK
mode is to increase the drive power
when driving on wet pavement, snow-
covered roads and/or off-road.The 4WD
LOCK indicator light is turned off by
pushing the button again.
Engine coolant tempera-ture warning light (if equipped)The warning light illuminates if the tem-
perature of the engine coolant is above
120±3°C (248±5.4°F).
Do not continue driving with an overheat-
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to “Overheating” in section 6.✽ ✽ NOTICEIf the engine coolant temperature warn-
ing light illuminates, it indicates over-
heating that may damage the engine.
Electronic power steering
(EPS) system warninglight (if equipped)This indicator light comes on after the
ignition key is turned to the ON position
and then it will go out.
This light also comes on when the EPS
has some troubles. If it comes on whilst
driving, we recommend that the system
be inspected by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
CAUTION
Do not use 4WD LOCK mode on drypaved roads or motorway, it can cause noise, vibration or damage of4WD related parts.

Driving your vehicle28
5Engine power can be delivered to all front
and rear wheels for maximum traction.
4WD is useful when extra traction is
required on road, such as, when driving
on slippery, muddy, wet, or snow-covered
roads. These vehicles are not designed
for challenging off-road use. Occasional
off-road use such as established
unpaved roads and trails are OK. It is
always important when travelling off-
highway that the driver carefully reduces
the speed to a level that does not exceed
the safe operating speed for those condi-
tions. In general, off-road conditions pro-
vide less traction and braking effective-
ness than normal road conditions. The
driver must be especially alert to avoid
driving on slopes which tilt the vehicle to
either side.
These factors must be carefully consid-
ered when driving off-road. Keeping the
vehicle in contact with the driving surface
and under control in these conditions is
always the driver's responsibility for the
safety of him/herself and his or her pas-
sengers.
Tight corner brake effectTight corner brake effect is a unique
characteristic of four-wheel drive vehicles
caused by the difference in tyre rotation
at the four wheels and the zero-degree
alignment of the front wheels and sus-
pension.
Sharp turns at low speeds should be car-
ried out with caution.
FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
- Off road driving
This vehicle is designed primarily
for on road use although it can oper-
ate effectively off road. However, it
was not designed to drive in chal-
lenging off-road conditions. Driving
in conditions that exceed the vehi-
cle's intended design or the driver's
experience level may result in
severe injury or death.
CAUTION -
4WD
When turning sharply on a paved
road at low speed whilst in four-wheel drive, steering control will be difficult.
WARNING
If the 4WD system warning light
( ) illuminates, this indicates that
there is a malfunction in the 4WD
system.
If this occurs, we recommend that
the system be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

Driving your vehicle
 This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades,off-road driving, driving on sandy and muddy roads, etc., to
maximize traction.
 This mode automatically begins to deactivate at speeds above 19 mph (30 km/h) and is shifted to 4WD AUTO mode
at speed above 25 mph (40 km/h). If the vehicle decelerates
to speeds below 19 mph (30 km/h), however, the transfer
mode is shifted into 4WD LOCK mode again.
4WD AUTO
(4WD LOCK is deactivated)
(Indicator light isnot illuminated)
✽ ✽ NOTICE• When driving on normal roads, deactivate the 4WD LOCK mode by pushing the 4WD LOCK button (the \
indicator light goes
off). Driving on normal roads with 4WD LOCK mode(especially, when cornering) may cause mechanical noise or vibration.
The noise and vibration will disappear when the 4WD LOCK mode is deactivated. Some parts of the power train may be dam-
aged by prolonged driving with the noise and vibration.
• When the 4WD LOCK mode is deactivated, a shock may be felt as the drive \
power is delivered entirely to the front wheels. This shock is not a mechanical failure.Four Wheel Drive (4WD) transfer mode selectionTransfer mode Selection button Indicator light Description
 When driving in 4WD AUTO mode, the vehicle operates sim-
ilar to conventional 2WD vehicles under normal operating
conditions. However, if the system determines that there is a
need for the 4WD mode, the engine’s driving power is dis-
tributed to all four wheels automatically without driver inter-
vention.
 When driving on normal roads and pavement, the vehicle moves similar to conventional 2WD vehicles.
