FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) (IF EQUIPPED)
Engine power can be delivered to all front
Tight corner brake effect
and  rear wheels  for  maximum  traction.
4WD  is   useful  when  extra   traction  is
required on  road, such as,  when driving
on slippery, muddy, wet, or snow-covered
roads. These  vehicles are  not designed
for challenging  off-road use.  Occasional
WARNING - Off road driving
This  vehicle  is  designed  primarily
for on road use although it can oper-
ate effectively  off  road. However,  it
was  not designed  to drive  in  chal-
lenging off-road  conditions. Driving
in conditions  that exceed  the vehi-
cle's intended design or the driver's
experience   level    may   result   in
severe injury or death.
CAUTION - 4WD
When  turning  sharply  on  a  paved
road  at  low   speed  while  in  four-
wheel drive, steering control will be
difficult.
off-road
use
such
as
established
unpaved  roads  and trails  are  OK.  It  is
always important when traveling off-high-
way that the  driver carefully reduces the
speed to a level that does not exceed the
safe  operating  speed  for   those  condi-
tions. In general, off-road conditions pro-
vide  less traction  and braking  effective-
ness  than  normal road  conditions.  The
driver  must be  especially alert  to  avoid
driving on slopes which  tilt the vehicle to
either side.
Tight  corner   brake  effect  is  a   unique
characteristic of four-wheel drive vehicles
caused by the difference in tire rotation at
the  four   wheels  and   the  zero-degree
alignment  of the  front  wheels and  sus-
pension.
WARNING
If  the  4WD   system  warning  light
) illuminates, this indicates that
there  is a  malfunction in  the  4WD
system.
Sharp turns at low speeds should be car-
ried out with caution.
(
These factors  must be  carefully consid-
ered when  driving off-road.  Keeping the
vehicle in contact with the driving surface
and under  control in  these conditions is
always the  driver's  responsibility for  the
safety of him/herself  and his or  her pas-
sengers.
If  this  occurs,   have  your  vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
