safe distance between you and ob-

always be reduced during extreme

achieving the best results from the
braking system.
A limited-slip differential, if equipped,
is for the rear wheel differential only.
The features of this limited-slip differ-
ential are described below:
Justaswithaconventionaldifferential,
thewheelononesideisallowedtoturn
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 conven-
tional differential is that if the wheel on
onesideofthevehiclelosestraction,a
greater amount of torque is applied to
the rear wheel on the other side to
improvetraction.
o Anticipate the road and conditions
ahead in order that heavy braking
may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients,
use the engine to assist in retarding
the vehicle to minimize the possibil-
ity of brake fade occurring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the
trailer brakes function correctly and
use engine braking to assist the
vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replace-
ment brake pads and shoes to en-
sure consistent friction characteris-
tics and wear rates.
o Drivingonrough,gravelorsnow-
covered roads.
o Driving with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has different
surface height.
These roads should be driven at
reducedspeeds.Thesafetyfeatures
of an ABS equipped vehicle should
not be tested by high speed driving
or cornering. This could endanger
the safety of yourself or others.
!
CAUTION:
o Never start the engine with the
gearshift lever placed in the for-
ward or reverse whilst one of the
rear wheels is jacked up and the
otherincontactwiththeground;

o Afterdrivingthroughdeepwater(e.g.
fording), the brakes may become
wet and performance reduced. Al-
ways check brake efficiency after
emergingfromthewateranddrythe
brakes by lightly depressing the
o Use only recommended oil for
LSD in the rear axle.
