ing suggestions are made to assist in
achieving the best results from the
braking system.
WARNING:
A limited-slip differential, if equipped,
is for the rear wheel differential only.
The features of this limited-slip differ-
ential are described below:
ABS will not prevent accidents due
to improper or dangerous driving
manoeuvres. Even though vehicle
control is improved during emer-
gency braking, always maintain a
safe distance between you and ob-
jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during extreme
roadconditions.
The braking distance for cars
equipped with an anti-lock braking
systemmaybelongerthanforthose

ditions.Theseroadsshouldbedriven
atreducedspeeds.
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 minimise 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 Afterdrivingthroughdeepwater(e.g.
fording), the brakes may become
wet and performance reduced. Al-
ways check brake efficiency after
emergingfromthewateranddrythe
brakes by lightly depressing the
brakepedalseveraltimeswhilstdriv-
ing slowly.
!
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
o With tyre chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface
height.
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 Use only recommended oil for
LSD in the rear axle.
