14  DRIVINGYOURHYUNDAI
When driving on a  snow-covered road or a
slippery,  muddy  surface,  make  sure  that
you keep a sufficient distance between your
vehicle and the one  ahead of you.
Since the driving torque is always applied to
the4wheels,theperformanceofthefull-time
4WD vehicle is greatly affected by the  con-
dition of the tires. Be sure to equip it with all
four tires of  the same size and  type.
NOTE:
!
To avoid  serious damage to  your 4WD ve-
hicle,  limit towing  to  10  mph and  not  for
more than 1  mile at ANY  TIME.
WARNING:
This  vehicle  is  designed primarily  for  on
road use. Driving the vehicle in challenging
off-road  conditions  for  which  it  was   not
designed may  result in  damage to  the ve-
hicle. Driving in conditions that  exceed the
vehicle's  intended  design  or  the  driver's
experience level may result in severe injury
or  death.

(9)For speedometer test  or inspection/mainte-
nance  (I/M) program  of SANTA  FE  4WD,
use a  four wheel  chassis dynamometer.
o
When replacement of any of the  tires or
disc wheels is  necessary, replace all  of
them.

Never engage the  parking brake while per-
forming  these  tests.

Rotate the tires and check the  tire pres-
sure at  regular intervals.
Driving 4WD Safely

towed  by an  ordinary  tow  truck.  Make
sure  that the  vehicle  is  towed with  its
four wheels  raised  off the  ground.

Do not  drive in challenging  off-road condi-
tions  or  areas  that  exceed  the   vehicle's
basic  design intent  or  the  driver's experi-
ence level.
Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds.
Because  of  your  vehicle's  high center  of
gravity, its stability  will be affected in cross-
winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle
control.

or muddy conditions.  Press the brake  sev-
eral times as you move slowly until you feel
normal braking  forces  return.

streams,  rivers, lakes,  etc.)
