2011 Hyundai Santa Fe Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
You must consciously take the effort to
learn how to  corner in a AWD  vehicle.
Do not rely on your  experience in con-
ventional  2WD  vehicles   in  choosing
safe  cornering  speed in  AWD  mode.
For starters, you must drive more slow-
ly in AWD.
Drive  carefully off-road  because  your
vehicle may  be  damaged by  rocks or
roots of trees. Become familiar with the
off-road   conditions   where   you   are
going to drive before you begin driving.
WARNING - Wind danger
If you are driving in heavy wind, the
vehicle's  higher  center  of   gravity
decreases   your   steering   control
capacity and  requires you  to drive
more slowly.
If you  need to drive  in the water,  stop
your  vehicle,  set your  transfer  to  the
AWD  LOCK  mode  and  drive at  less
than 5 mph (8 km/h).

WARNING - AWD
WARNING - Steering
WARNING - Driving
through water
Reduce speed  when  you turn  cor-
ners. The center  of gravity of  AWD
vehicles is higher  than that of con-
ventional   2WD   vehicles,   making
them more  likely to  roll over when
you turn corners too fast.
wheel
Do not grab the inside  of the steer-
ing wheel when you are driving off-
road. You  may hurt  your arm  by  a
sudden steering  maneuver or from
steering   wheel   rebound   due   to
impact with objects  on the ground.
You could lose control of the  steer-
ing wheel.
Drive slowly.  If you are  driving too
fast in water, the water can  get into
the  engine  compartment  and  wet
the  ignition  system, causing  your
vehicle  to   suddenly  stop.   If  this
happens  and  your  vehicle is  in  a
tilted position, your vehicle may roll
over.
Always hold  the steering  wheel  firmly
when you are driving off-road.
Make sure all passengers  are wearing
seat belts.
