DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
LOW Mode
Driving 4WD Safely
(1) Be sure to wear the seat belt.
(2) 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.
(3) Check the brake condition after driving in
wet or muddy conditions. Press the brake
several times as you move slowly until you
feel normal braking forces return.
(4) Do not drive the vehicle through water. (i.e.
streams, rivers, lakes, etc.)
o
If the vehicle is towed with its only two
wheels raised off the ground, the 4WD
system could be damaged.
Full power to both axles, including a lower gear
ratio for low-speed applications that require
extra power such as dry road surfaces, wet
pavement, snow-covered roads and/or off-road.
Especially when increased drive power is re-
quired.

(5) The stopping distance of the full-time 4WD
vehicle differs very little from that of the
2WD vehicle.
NOTE:
AUTO → LOW
To avoid serious damage to your 4WD ve-
hicle, limit towing to 10 mph (15km/h) and
not for more than 1 mile (1.5km) at ANY
TIME.
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.
(6) Since the driving torque is always applied to
the 4 wheels, the performance of the full-
time 4WD vehicle is greatly affected by the
condition of the tyres. Be sure to equip it
with all four tyres of the same size and type.
o When replacement of any of the tyres or
disc wheels is necessary, replace all of
them.
o Rotate the tyres and check the tyre pres-
sure at regular intervals.
(7) The full-time 4WD vehicle cannot be
towed by an ordinary tow truck. Make
sure that the vehicle is towed with its
four wheels raised off the ground.
