Driving Your Vehicle6-48
AWD Operation
All Wheel Drive (AWD) mode selection
Transfer mode Selection mode Description
AWD AUTO
(N
ormal diving) -In the AWD AUTO mode, under normal operating
conditions, the vehicle operates similar to
conventional 2WD vehicles. If the system determines
there is a need for four wheel drive, the engine's
driving power is distributed to all four wheels
automatically.
Use this mode when driving on normal roads.
If you select the "Driving force distribution" in the
cluster, Driving force distribution (AWD) state is
displayed.
SNOW
In this mode, the vehicle can start stably by properly
distributing the driving force of the vehicle on
slippery roads such as snowy roads. And you can
drive safely by suppressing wheel slip.
AWD LOCK

[ The main goal of AWD Lock mode is toallow a driver
to maximize the vehicle's traction under extreme
driving conditions such as unpaved off-road, sandy
roads, and muddy roads.

[ AWD Lock mode is in operation only when a vehicle
travels at 25 mph (40 km/h) or less. When travelling
at 25 mph (40 km/h) or faster, the mode will switch
to AWD Auto. When travelling at 20 mph (30 km/h)
or less, the mode will switch back to AWD Lock.

[ Press the AWD Lock mode switch again to switch
back to AWD Auto.
When the AWD 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.

For safe AWD operation
Before driving

[Mak
e sure all passengers are wearing
seat belts.

[ Sit upright and closer to the steering
wheel than usual. Adjust the steering
wheel to a position comfortable for
you to drive.
Driving on snow-covered or icy roads

[ S
tart off slowly by applying the
accelerator pedal gently.

[ Use snow tires or tire chains.

[ Keep sufficient distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.

[ Apply engine braking during
deceleration by using the paddle
shifter (manual shift mode) and
manually selecting a lower gear.

[ Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent skids.
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 20 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 details on Snow Tires and Tire
Chains, refer to "Winter Driving" section
later in this chapter.
Driving in sand or mud

[Maintain slo
w 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.

[ Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent getting stuck.
NOTICE
When the vehicle is stuck in snow, sand
or mud, place a nonslip material under
the drive wheels to provide traction
OR slowly spin the wheels in forward
and reverse directions which causes
a rocking motion that may free the
vehicle.
However, avoid running the engine
continuously at high RPM, doing so may
damage the AWD system.
Driving up or down hills

[Driving uphill

- Be

fore 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 slowly using engine braking
while 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.

Driving Your Vehicle6-50
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

[ T
ry to avoid driving in deep standing
water. It may stall your engine and
clog your exhaust pipes.

[ If you need to drive in water, stop
your vehicle, set the vehicle in AWD
LOCK mode and drive under 5 mph (8
km/h).

[ 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 f
amiliar 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.
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 AWD system.

WARNING
B0271EU01
Never start or run the engine 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
AWD 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 AWD system.

[ Never engage the parking brake while
running the engine on vehicle lift. This
may damage the AWD system.
Dynamometer testing
An AWD vehicle must be tested on a
special four wheel chassis dynamometer.
B0274EU01
A: Roll tester (Speedometer),
B: Temporary free roller
An AWD 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 pressures recommended for your vehicle.
2. Place the rear wheels on the roll tester for a speedometer test as shown in
the illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the front 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.
AWD malfunction
If the AWD () warning light stays on
the instrument cluster, your vehicle
may have a malfunction with the AWD
system. When the AWD warning light
(
) illuminates, have the vehicle be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.

Driving Your Vehicle6-52
Idle Stop and Go helps reduce fuel
consumption by automatically shutting
down the engine, when the vehicle is

light, stop sign, and traffic jam) subject
to certain prerequisite conditions being
satisfied as listed below.
The engine is automatically started upon
satisfying the starting conditions.
ISG system is always active, when the
engine is running.
Information
When the engine is automatically started
by ISG system, warning lights (for
example, ABS, ESC, ESC OFF, MDPS,
