DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

mission). Perform this operation when driving
straight.
Driving Four-wheel drive safely
Do not select 4WD (4H or 4L) mode on dry
paved roads. Especially on dry highway,
never select the 4WD mode.
Four-wheel driving on dry paved roads for a
long period will increase the fuel consump-
tion with possible noise generation and ear-
ly tyre wear. In addition, axle gear oil tem-
perature increases with possible driving sys-
tem part wear.
o
The driving posture should be more upright;
adjust the seat to a good position for easy
steering and pedal operation.

2.
Stop the vehicle.

o
Be sure to wear the seat belt.
Drive carefully when off the road and avoid
dangerous areas.
Depress the clutch pedal (Manual Trans-
mission) or put the shift lever into "N (neu-
tral)" position (Automatic Transmission).
Select the 4L mode.
o
4WD has higher ground clearance and a
narrower track to make them capable of
performing in a wide variety of off road
applications. Specific design characteristics
give them a higher centre of gravity than
ordinary cars. An advantage of the higher
ground clearance is a better view of the road
allowing you to anticipate problems. They
are not designed for cornering at the same
speeds as conventional 2-wheel drive vehi-
cles any more than low-slung sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactorily under
off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid
sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with
other vehicles of this type, failure to operate
this vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control or vehicle rollover.

Transfer shift knob operation
By turning the transfer shift knob(4H, 4L), both
axles of the vehicle are rigidly connected with
each other. This improves the traction charac-
teristics.
1. Stop the vehicle.
2.
Depress the clutch pedal (Manual Trans-
mission) or put the shift lever into "N (neu-
tral)" position (Automatic Transmission).
Select the 4H mode.
3.
2H→ 4H
Turn the transfer shift knob from the 2H mode
to the 4H mode at speed below 50mph (80 km/
h). It is not necessary to depress the clutch
pedal (Manual Transmission) or put the shift
lever into "N(neutral)" position (Automatic Trans-
mission). Perform this operation when driving
straight.
o
o
Do not grip the inside or spokes of the
steering wheel when driving off-road. The
steering wheel could jerk and injure your
hands. Always firmly hold the outer steering
wheel when you are driving off-road.
Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds.
Because of your vehicle’s high centre of
gravity, its stability will be affected in cross-
winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle
control.
4H→ 2H
Turn the transfer shift knob from the 4H mode
to the 2H mode at speed below 50mph (80 km/
h). It is not necessary to depress the clutch
pedal (Manual Transmission) or put the shift
lever into "N(neutral)" position (Automatic Trans-
