All Wheel Drive (AWD)
When All Wheel Drive(AWD) is activated,
driving forces are distributed
appropriately to front and rear wheels. It
could improve driving performance by
maximizing the driving force of vehicles
on severe road conditions such as steep
hills, unpaved, slippery, etc.
Advantage of electronic AWD
1. Improvement of straight stability
2. Improvement of driving performance on curve
3. Secure stability on severe condition such as wet and sandy roads.
4. Improvement of energy efficiency from driving mode automatic control.
Information AWD vehicles could change the engagement
status of the motor according to the situation
required. Auto changing the driving
mode(2WD/AWD)helps improve energy
efficiency and driving stability.
WARNING To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:
• 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.

• Using regenerative braking helps the steering on the downhill. However, it
may be difficult to adjust the vehicle
while coasting using regenerative
braking, so avoid using the third level of
regenerative braking as much as
possible.
• Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent skids.
• It is difficult to start again if the vehicle stops on an uphill road. Keep your
distance from other vehicles and drive
slowly.
Information When using Snow Tires, mount them on all
four wheels.
When using tire chains, install them on the
rear tires.
However, driving speed must be below 18
mph (30 km/h) and minimize the driving
distance. High-speed or long-term driving
with tire chains installed may malfunction or
damage the AWD system.
For more information on Snow Tires and Tire
Chains, refer to the "Winter Driving" section
later in this chapter.
Driving in sand or mud
• Maintain slow and constant speed.
• Use tire chains driving in mud if necessary.
• Keep sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.
• Reduce vehicle speed and always check the road condition.

• Driving uphill
- Before starting off, check if it is possible to drive uphill.
- Drive as straight as possible.
• Driving downhill - Do not change gear while driving downhill. Select gear before driving
downhill.
- Drive straight as possible.
WARNING Exercise extreme caution driving up or
down steep hills. The vehicle may flip over
depending on the grade, terrain, water
and mud conditions.
WARNING Do not drive across the contour of steep
hills. A slight change in the wheel angle
can destabilize the vehicle, or a stable
vehicle may lose stability if the vehicle
stops its forward motion. Your vehicle
may roll over and lead to a serious injury
or death.
Driving through water
• Try to avoid driving in deep standing water.
• Do not change gear while driving in water.

CAUTION Always drive slowly in water. If you drive
too fast, water may get into the motor
compartment, 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 AWD 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 not grab the inside of the steering
wheel 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.
WARNING
B6005201
Never start or run the vehicle while an
AWD 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.
Towing

Special Driving
Conditions
Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud and sand, take the following
precautions:
• Drive cautiously and maintain a longer braking distance.
• Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
• When your vehicle is stuck in snow, mud, or sand, accelerate slowly to
avoid unnecessary wheel spin.
• Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or other non-slip materials under the wheels to
provide additional traction while the
vehicle becomes stuck in ice, snow, or
mud.
WARNING Changing the tire speed suddenly could
cause the tires to skid while driving on
slippery surface. Be careful when driving
on slippery surfaces.

Rocking the Vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to free
it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn the
steering wheel right and left to clear the
area around your front wheels. Then, shift
back and forth between R (Reverse) and a
forward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the vehicle.
To prevent gear wear, wait until the
wheels stop spinning before shifting
gears. Release the accelerator pedal
while shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal while the vehicle is in
gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
forward and reverse directions causes a
rocking motion that may free the vehicle.
WARNING Always turn off the ESC system before
rocking the vehicle. If the vehicle is stuck
and excessive wheel spin occurs, the
temperature in the tires may increase
very quickly. If the tires become
damaged, a tire blow out or tire explosion
may occur - you and others may be
injured. Do not attempt this procedure if
people or objects are near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle, the
vehicle may overheat quickly, possibly
causing a motor compartment fire or
other damage. Try to avoid spinning the
wheels as much as possible to prevent
overheating of the tires or the motor. DO
NOT allow the vehicle to spin the wheels
above 35 mph (56 km/h).
If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid motor
overheating, possible damage to the
transmission, and tire damage. Refer to
the “Towing” section in chapter 8.
Smooth Cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, cornering should be taken under
gentle acceleration.
Driving at Night
Night driving presents more hazards than
driving in the daylight. Here are some
important tips to remember:
• Slow down and keep more distance between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may not
be any street lights.
• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other drivers’ headlights.
• Keep your headlights clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlights will make it much
more difficult to see at night.
• Avoid staring directly at the headlights of oncoming vehicles. You could be
temporarily blinded, and it will take
several seconds for your eyes to
readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. When driving in the rain or on
slick pavement:
• Slow down and allow extra following distance. A heavy rainfall makes it
harder to see and increases the
distance needed to stop your vehicle.
• Turn OFF your Smart Cruise Control.
• Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
• Make sure your tires have enough tread. If your tires do not have enough
tread, making a quick stop on wet
pavement may cause a skid and
possibly lead to a collision. Refer to the
Hyundai_CE_en_US.book Page 46

Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery
performance. Inspect the battery and
cables, as specified in chapter 9. The
battery charging level can be inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or in a
service station.
To prevent locks from freezing
Spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin
into key holes. When a lock opening is
already covered with ice, spray approved
de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it.
When an internal part of a lock freezes, try
to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully use
the heated key to avoid an injury.
Use approved window washer anti-freeze
solution
Add authorized window washer
anti-freeze solution, as specified on the
window washer container. Window
washer anti-freeze solution is available
from an authorized HYUNDAI dealer, and
most vehicle accessory outlets. Do not
use coolant or other types of anti-freeze
solution, to prevent any damage to the
vehicle paint.
Do not let your parking brake freeze
Under some conditions, your parking
brake may freeze in the engaged position.
This is most likely to happen when there is
an accumulation of snow or ice around or
near the rear brakes or the brakes are wet.
When there is the risk that your parking
brake may freeze: temporarily apply the
parking brake with the gear in P (Park),
then block the rear wheels, and then
release the parking brake.Do not let ice and snow accumulate
underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
may build up under the fenders and
interfere with the steering. When driving
in such conditions during the severe
winter, check underneath the vehicle on a
regular basis, to make sure that the front
wheels and the steering components are
not blocked.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather conditions,
carry appropriate emergency equipment,
while driving. Some of the items you may
want to carry include tire chains, tow
straps or chains, flashlight, emergency
flares, sand, shovel, jumper cables,
window scraper, gloves, ground cloth,
coveralls, blanket, etc.
Do not place objects or materials in the
motor compartment
Putting objects or materials in the motor
compartment may cause a motor failure.
Such damage is not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
