achieving the best results from the
braking system.
CAUTION:
WARNING:
o Whilst the full-time 4WD vehicle
is being raised on a jack, never
starttheengineorcausethetyres
to rotate.
There is the danger that rotating
tyres touching the ground could
cause the vehicle to move off the
jack and to jump forward.
o If one of the front or rear wheels
begins to spin in mud, snow,
etc., the vehicle can sometimes
be driven out by depressing the
accelerator pedal further; how-
ever, avoid running the engine
continuously at high rpm be-
cause doing so could damage
the 4WD system.
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Donotmakequicksteeringwheel
movements, such as sharp lane
charges or fast, sharp turns.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted
personissignificantlymorelikely
to die than a person wearing a
seatbelt.
o Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off the
roadwayandthedriveroversteers
to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
theroadway,donotsteersharply.
Instead, slow down before pull-
ing back into the travel lanes.
o Anticipate the road and conditions
ahead in order that heavy braking
may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients,
use the engine to assist in retarding
the vehicle to minimize the possibil-
ity of brake fade occurring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the
trailer brakes function correctly and
use engine braking to assist the
vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replace-
ment brake pads and shoes to en-
sure consistent friction characteris-
tics and wear rates.
