DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
WARNING:

OVERDRIVE SWITCH
EFFECTIVE BRAKING
o
o
Avoid high cornering speeds.
Do not make quick steering wheel move-
ments, such as sharp lane changes or
fast, sharp turns.
Braking system performance and friction ma-
terial 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
Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbelted per-
son is significantly more likely to die
than a person wearing a seatbelt.
The risk of rollover is greatly increased
if you lose control of your vehicle at
highway speeds.
Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway and
the driver oversteers to reenter the
roadway.
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 oc-
curring.

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 consis-
tent friction characteristics and wear rates.
After driving through deep water (e.g. fording),
the brakes may become wet and perfor-
mance reduced. Always check brake effi-
ciency after emerging from the water and dry
the brakes by lightly depressing the brake
pedal several times whilst driving slowly.
Apply the parking brake only when the
vehicle is at rest.
Since the power assistance provided by
the brake servo is derived from the engine,
coasting with the engine turned off or tow-
ing of the vehicle with the engine turned off
will result in greatly increased pedal pres-
sures being required to stop the vehicle.
The overdrive switch prevents the transaxle
upshifting higher than third gear when the
switch is turned "OFF". The transaxle will start
from rest in first gear and upshift to second
and third gear depending upon the roadspeed
and throttle opening but will not upshift to
fourth gear. When the overdrive switch is
turned "ON", the transaxle will start from rest
in first gear and will upshift, depending upon
roadspeed and throttle opening to second,
third and fourth gear. Therefore, when the
overdrive switch is turned "OFF", the transaxle
performs as a three speed unit and the over-
drive warning light located in the instrument
cluster will be illuminated. When the overdrive
switch is turned "ON", the transaxle functions
as a fully automatic four speed unit with the
maximum fuel economy potential of the ve-
hicle being realized.
o
In the event your vehicle leaves the
roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead,
slow down before pulling back into the
travel lanes.
o
o
Never exceed posted speed limits.
Excessive depressing of the accelerater
pedal under the tyres slip condition
such as moving out of the mud or
fresh snow etc, may cause severe dam-
age to the transmission. If this condi-
tion exists, it may be adviseable to
have the vehicle towed.
