NOTICE
•	 It is permissible to add 3 psi to the standard tire pressure specification if colder 
temperatures are expected soon.
Tires typically lose 1psi (7kPa) for every 12°F temperature drop. If extreme 
temperature variations are expected, recheck your tire pressure as necessary to 
keep them properly inflated.
•	 Tire inflation pressures will vary with changes in elevation. If driving in areas of 
higher or lower elevation, be sure to check and adjust for proper tire inflation.
 CAUTION
•	When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or not work properly.
•	 When replacing tires, ALWAYS use the same size, type, construction and tread 
pattern supplied with the vehicle for all tires.
TIRES AND WHEELS    

Seats & Safety System
3-2
You will find many safety precautions 
and recommendations throughout this 
section, and throughout this manual. 
The safety precautions in this section are 
among the most important.
Always wear your seat belt
A seat belt is your best protection in all 
types of accidents. Air bags are designed 
to supplement seat belts, not replace 
them. So even though your vehicle is 
equipped with air bags, ALWAYS make 
sure you and your passengers wear your 
seat belts, and wear them properly.
Restrain all children
All children under age 13 should ride 
in your vehicle properly restrained in a 
rear seat, not the front seat. Infants and 
small children should be restrained in 
an appropriate Child Restraint System. 
Larger children should use a booster 
seat with the lap/shoulder belt until they 
can use the seat belt properly without a 
booster seat.
Air bag hazards
While air bags can save lives, they can 
also cause serious or fatal injuries to 
occupants who sit too close to them, or 
who are not properly restrained. Infants, 
young children, and short adults are at 
the greatest risk of being injured by an 
inflating air bag. Follow all instructions 
and warnings in this manual.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious and 
potentially deadly danger, especially for 
inexperienced drivers. Safety should be 
the first concern when behind the wheel 
and drivers need to be aware of the wide 
array of potential distractions, such as 
drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating, 
personal grooming, other passengers, 
and using mobile phones.Drivers can become distracted when 
they take their eyes and attention off 
the road or their hands off the wheel to 
focus on activities other than driving. 
To reduce your risk of distraction and an 
accident:
•	
ALWAYS set up your mobile devices 
(i.e., MP3 players, phones, navigation 
units, etc.) when your vehicle is 
parked or safely stopped.
•	 ONLY use your mobile device when 
allowed by laws and conditions permit 
safe use. NEVER text or email while 
driving. Most countries have laws 
prohibiting drivers from texting. Some 
countries and cities also prohibit 
drivers from using handheld phones.
•	 NEVER let the use of a mobile device 
distract you from driving. You have a 
responsibility to your passengers and 
others on the road to always drive 
safely, with your hands on the wheel 
as well as your eyes and attention on 
the road.
Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash 
injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher 
the speed, the greater the risk, but 
serious injuries can also occur at lower 
speeds. Never drive faster than is safe 
for current conditions, regardless of the 
maximum speed posted.
Keep your vehicle in safe 
condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical 
failure can be extremely hazardous. To 
reduce the possibility of such problems, 
check your tire pressures and condition 
frequently, and perform all regularly 
scheduled maintenance.

Driving your vehicle
6-52
Four Wheel Drive (4WD) delivers engine 
power to front and rear wheels for 
maximum traction. 4WD is useful when 
extra traction is required, such as when 
driving on, muddy, wet, or snow-covered 
roads. 
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY 
or DEATH:
•	Do not drive in conditions that 
exceed the vehicles intended 
design such as challenging off-road 
conditions.
•	 Avoid high speeds when cornering or 
turning.
•	 Do not make quick steering wheel 
movements, such as sharp lane 
changes or fast, sharp turns.
•	 The risk of a rollover is greatly 
increased if you lose control of your 
vehicle at highway speeds.
•	 Loss of control often occurs if two or 
more wheels drop off the roadway 
and the driver over steers to reenter 
the roadway.
•	 In the event your vehicle leaves 
the roadway, do not steer sharply. 
Instead, slow down before pulling 
back into the travel lanes.
NOTICE
•	Do not drive in water if the level 
is higher than the bottom of the 
vehicle.
•	 Check your brake condition once 
you are out of mud or water. Depress 
the brake pedal several times as you 
move slowly until you feel normal 
braking return.
•	 Shorten your scheduled 
maintenance interval if you drive in 
off-road conditions such as sand, 
mud or water (see "Maintenance 
Under Severe Usage Conditions" 
section in chapter 9).
•	 Always wash your vehicle thoroughly 
after off road use, especially the 
bottom of the vehicle.
•	 Be sure to equip the vehicle with four 
tires of the same size and type.
•	 Make sure that a full time 4WD 
vehicle is towed by a flat bed tow 
truck.

Driving through water
•	Try to avoid driving in deep standing 
water. It may stall your engine and 
clog your exhaust pipes.
•	 Do not change gear while driving in 
water.
 CAUTION
Always drive slowly in water. If you 
drive too fast, water may get into the 
engine compartment and wet the 
ignition system causing your vehicle to 
suddenly stop.
Additional driving conditions
•	Become familiar with the off-road 
conditions before driving.
•	 Always pay attention when driving off-
road and avoid dangerous areas.
•	 Drive slowly when driving in heavy 
wind.
•	 Reduce vehicle speed when 
cornering. The center of gravity 
of 4WD vehicles is higher than 
conventional 2WD vehicles, making 
them more likely to roll over when you 
rapidly turn corners.
•	 Always hold the steering wheel firmly 
when you are driving off-road.
 WARNING
Do hold the steering wheel tightly 
when you are driving off-road. You may 
hurt your arm by a sudden steering 
maneuver or from steering wheel 
rebound due to an impact with objects 
on the ground. You could lose control 
of the steering wheel which may lead to 
serious injury or death.
Emergency precautions
Tires
When replacing tires, be sure to equip 
all four tires with the same size, type, 
tread patterns, brand and load-carrying 
capacity.
 WARNING
Do not use tire and wheel with different 
size and type from the one originally 
installed on your vehicle. It can affect 
the safety and performance of your 
vehicle, which could lead to steering 
failure or rollover causing serious injury.
In an emergency situation, a compact 
spare tire (if equipped) or Tire Mobility 
Kit (if equipped) may be used. But, 
do not use the compact spare tire 
continuously. Repair or replace the 
original tire as soon as possible to avoid 
failure of the differential or 4WD system.
 WARNING
Never start or run the engine while 
an 4WD vehicle is raised on a jack. 
The vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack 
causing serious injury or death to you or 
those nearby.

6-59
Towing
4WD vehicles must be towed with 
a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed 
equipment with all the wheels off the 
ground. For more details, refer to 
"Towing" section in chapter 8.
Vehicle inspection
•	If the vehicle needs to be operated on 
a vehicle lift do not attempt to stop 
any of the four wheels from turning. 
This could damage the 4WD system.
•	 Never engage the parking brake while 
running the engine on a car lift. This 
may damage the 4WD system.
Dynamometer testing
An 4WD vehicle must be tested on a 
special four wheel chassis dynamometer.
OTM060016L[A] : Roll tester (Speedometer), 
[B] : Temporary free roller
An 4WD vehicle should not be tested 
on a 2WD roll tester. If a 2WD roll tester 
must be used, perform the following 
procedure:
1.
 Check the tire pr
essures 
recommended for your vehicle.
2.
 Place the rear wheels on the r
oll tester 
for a speedometer test as shown in 
the illustration.
3.
 Release the parking br
ake.
4.
 Place the fron
t wheels on the 
temporary free roller as shown in the 
illustration.
 WARNING
Keep away from the front of the vehicle 
while the vehicle is in gear on the 
dynamometer. The vehicle can jump 
forward and cause serious injury or 
death.
Reducing the risk of a rollover
Your multi-purpose passenger vehicle is 
defined as a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV). 
SUV’s have higher ground clearance 
and a narrower track to make them 
capable of performing in a wide variety 
of off-road applications. The specific 
design characteristics give them a higher 
center of gravity than ordinary vehicles 
making them more likely to roll over if 
you make abrupt turns. Utility vehicles 
have a significantly higher rollover rate 
than other types of vehicles. Due to this 
risk, driver and passengers are strongly 
recommended to buckle their seat belts. 
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person 
is significantly more likely to die than a 
person wearing a seat belt.
 There are steps that a driver can make 
to reduce the risk of a rollover. If at all 
possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt 
maneuvers, do not load your roof rack 
with heavy cargo, and never modify your 
vehicle in any way.

 WARNING
Rollover
As with other Sports Utility Vehicle 
(SUV), failure to operate this vehicle 
correctly may result in loss of control, 
an accident or vehicle rollover.
•	Utility vehicles have a significantly 
higher rollover rate than other types 
of vehicles.
•	 Specific design characteristics 
(higher ground clearance, narrower 
track, etc.) give this vehicle a higher 
center of gravity than ordinary 
vehicles.
•	 A SUV is not designed for cornering 
at the same speeds as conventional 
vehicles.
•	 Avoid sharp turns or abrupt 
maneuvers.
•	 In a rollover crash, an unbelted 
person is significantly more likely to 
die than a person wearing a seat belt. 
Make sure everyone in the vehicle is 
properly buckled up.
 WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with tires 
designed to provide safe ride and 
handling 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 steering 
failure or rollover and serious injury. 
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. 
If you nevertheless decide to equip 
your vehicle with any tire/wheel 
combination not recommended by 
HYUNDAI for off road driving, you 
should not use these tires for highway 
driving.
 WARNING
Jacked vehicle
While a full-time 4WD vehicle is being 
raised on a jack, never start the engine 
or cause the tires to rotate.
There is a danger that rotating tires 
touching the ground could cause the 
vehicle to fall off the jack and to jump 
forward or rearward.

Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas 
unless you are sure the water is no 
higher than the bottom of the wheel hub. 
Drive through any water slowly. Allow 
adequate stopping distance because 
brake performance may be reduced.
After driving through water, dry the 
brakes by gently applying them several 
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
Highway driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified. 
Under-inflation may overheat or damage 
the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged tires, 
which may reduce traction or fail the 
braking operation.
 Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the 
maximum inflation pressure, as specified 
on your tires.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
Driving at higher speeds on the highway 
consumes more fuel and is less efficient 
than driving at a slower, more moderate 
speed. Maintain a moderate speed in 
order to conserve fuel when driving on 
the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine coolant 
level and the engine oil before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may 
overheat the engine.

 WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly 
higher rollover rate than other types of 
vehicles. To prevent rollovers or loss of 
control:
•	Take corners at slower speeds than 
you would with a passenger vehicle.
•	 Avoid sharp turns and abrupt 
maneuvers.
•	 Do not modify your vehicle in any 
way that you would raise the center 
of gravity.
•	 Keep tires properly inflated.
•	 Do not carry heavy cargo on the roof.
 WARNING
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person 
is significantly more likely to die than a 
person wearing a seat belt. Make sure 
all passengers are wearing their seat 
belts.
