DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
CAUTION:

LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
(Not all models)

When trailer towing,  ensure that the trailer
brakes  function correctly  and  use engine
braking to assist the vehicle braking system.
Use  only  genuine   Hyundai  replacement
brake pads and shoes to ensure consistent
friction characteristics and wear rates.
After   driving  through   deep   water  (e.g.
fording), the  brakes may become wet  and
performance reduced. Always check brake
efficiency after emerging from the water and
dry  the  brakes  by  lightly  depressing the
brake pedal several times whilst driving slow-
ly.
Whilst the full-time 4WD vehicle is being
raised on a jack, never start the engine or
cause the tyres to rotate.
A limited-slip differential, if equipped, is for the
rear wheel differential only. The features of this
limited-slip differential are described below:
Just  as  with  a  conventional differential,  the
wheel  on  one  side  is  allowed  to  turn  at  a
different speed from the wheel on the other side
when the vehicle  is cornering. The  difference
between the limited-slip differential and a con-
ventional differential is that if the wheel on one
side  of  the vehicle  loses  traction,  a  greater
amount of torque is applied to the rear wheel on
the other side to improve traction.
There is  the  danger that  rotating tyres
touching  the  ground  could  cause  the
vehicle to  go  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 depress-
ing the  accelerator pedal  further; how-
ever, avoid running the engine  continu-
ously at high rpm because doing so could
damage the 4WD system.
o
o
Apply the parking brake only when the vehi-
cle is at rest.
Since the power assistance provided by the
brake  servo  is  derived  from  the  engine,
coasting with the engine turned off or towing
of the vehicle with the engine turned off will
result in greatly increased pedal pressures
being required to stop the vehicle.
Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with
the accelerator  pedal. This can  cause the
transmission to  overheat. Always  use  the
brake pedal or parking brake.
WARNING:
o
o
Avoid high cornering speeds.
SC140A1-E
Do not make quick steering wheel move-
ments, such  as  sharp lane  charges or
fast, sharp turns.
EFFECTIVE BRAKING
Braking system performance and friction mate-
rial life are greatly affected by the driving style
adopted. The following suggestions are made
to assist in achieving the best results from the
braking system.
o
o
o
o
The risk of rollover is greatly increased if
you lose control of your vehicle at high-
way speeds.
In a collision crash, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely  to die than a
person wearing a seatbelt.
Loss  of control  often  occurs  if two  or
more wheels drop off the roadway and the
driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
In the event your vehicle leaves the road-
way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into the travel
lanes.
o
o
o
Anticipate the road and conditions ahead in
order that heavy braking may be avoided.
When descending  long gradients, use  the
engine to assist  in retarding the vehicle  to
minimize the possibility of brake fade occur-
ring.
