Driving your vehicle
Wagon/Van (if equipped)
A locking differential, if equipped, is for
the rear wheel differential only. The fea-
tures of this locking differential are
described below:
Just as with a conventional differential,
the wheel on one side is allowed to turn
at a different speed from the wheel on
the other side when the vehicle is cor-
nering. The difference between the lock-
ing differential and a conventional differ-
ential is that if the wheel on one side of
the vehicle loses traction, a greater
amount of torque is applied to the rear
wheel on the other side to improve trac-
tion.
✽NOTICE
In a stationary position, the LD
(Locking Differential) will operate when
the difference of the revolution speed
between the rear right wheel and the
rear left wheel occurs.
The following procedures can be used to
confirm that the locking differential is
functioning properly:
(1) Position the vehicle so that one wheel
is on a dry paved surface and the
other on ice, snow, mud, etc. Drive
the vehicle, and observe the opera-
tion of the locking differential. The
vehicle should not become stuck if
the differential is functioning properly.
(2) Depress the accelerator pedal gradu-
ally, and then when traction is good,
depress it forcefully. If the vehicle
accelerates well, the differential is
functioning properly.
✽NOTICE
Usually a locking differential will oper-
ate and release automatically but occa-
sionally it may not release automatically.
At this time you will feel the tyre is
dragged when you are driving or corner-
ing. You can release it manually by slight-
ly turning the steering wheel right and
left whilst the vehicle is moving slowly.
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
• Never start the engine with the
gearshift lever placed in the for-
ward or reverse whilst one of the
rear wheels is jacked up and the
other in contact with the ground;
doing so may cause the vehicle to
jump forward.
• If one of the rear wheels begins to
spin in mud, snow, etc., the vehicle
can sometimes be driven out by
depressing the accelerator pedal
further; however, avoid running
the engine continuously at high
rpm because doing so could dam-
age the locking differential.

What to do in an emergency
18 6
10. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on
the studs, put the wheel nuts on
the studs and tighten them finger
tight. The nuts should be installed
with their tapered small diameter
ends directed inward. Jiggle the
tyre to be sure it is completely
seated, then tighten the nuts as
much as possible with your fin-
gers again.
11. Lower the car to the ground by
turning the wheel nut wrench
counterclockwise.
Then position the wrench as shown
in the drawing and tighten the wheel
nuts. Be sure the socket is seated
completely over the nut. Do not stand
on the wrench handle or use an
extension pipe over the wrench han-
dle. Go around the wheel tightening
every other nut until they are all tight.
Then double-check each nut for
tightness. After changing wheels, we
recommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
65~79 lb·ft (9~11 kg·m)If you have a tyre gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure.
If the pressure is lower than recom-
mended, drive slowly to the nearest
service station and inflate to the cor-
rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust
it until it is correct. Always reinstall
the valve cap after checking or
adjusting tyre pressure. If the cap is
not replaced, air may leak from the
tyre. If you lose a valve cap, buy
another and install it as soon as pos-
sible.
After you have changed wheels,
always secure the flat tyre in its place
and return the jack and tools to their
proper storage locations.

Maintenance
Manual transmission fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the manual transmission fluid
according to the maintenance schedule.
Automatic transmission fluid
(if equipped)
The fluid level should be in the "HOT"
range of the dipstick, after the engine
and transmission are at normal operating
temperature. Check the automatic trans-
mission fluid level with the engine run-
ning and the transmission in neutral, with
the parking brake properly applied.
✽NOTICE
If your vehicle is not equipped with the
automatic transmission level gauge, we
recommend that the automatic trans-
mission fluid inspected by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer according to the
maintenance schedule.
Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any
leakage. Replace any deteriorated or
damaged parts immediately.
Brake fluid
Check brake fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir. The level should be between
“MIN” and “MAX” marks on the side of
the reservoir. Use only hydraulic brake
fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4
specification.
Parking brake
Inspect the parking brake system includ-
ing the parking brake lever and cables.
Brake discs, pads, calipers and
rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs
for run out and wear, and calipers for fluid
leakage.
For more information on checking the
pads or lining wear limit, refer to the
HYUNDAI web site.

Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections for
looseness or damage. Retighten to the
specified torque.
