2004 Hyundai Terracan Owners Manual

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
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-
mission). Perform this  operation when driving
straight.

o
The driving posture should be more upright;
adjust the seat to  a good position for easy
steering and pedal operation.
CAUTION:
o
o
Be sure to wear the seat  belt.
Drive carefully when off the road and avoid
dangerous areas.
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.

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.

Stop the vehicle.
Depress the  clutch pedal (Manual   Trans-
mission) or put the shift lever  into "N (neu-
tral)" position (Automatic  Transmission).

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

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.
