2014 Hyundai I40 Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Smooth cornering
Driving in the rain
WARNING - Spinning  tires
Avoid  braking or  gear  changing  in cor-
ners,  especially   when  roads  are   wet.
Ideally, corners  should  always be  taken
under  gentle  acceleration. If  you  follow
these suggestions, tire  wear will be held
to a minimum.
Rain  and  wet  roads  can  make  driving
dangerous,  especially if  you’re  not pre-
pared for the slick  pavement. Here are a
few things to consider when driving in the
rain:
•  A  heavy rainfall will  make it  harder to
see  and   will  increase   the   distance
needed  to stop  your vehicle,  so  slow
down.
Do not  spin the  wheels, especially
at  speeds  more than  56  km/h  (35
mph). Spinning  the wheels  at high
speeds when the vehicle is station-
ary  could cause  a tire  to overheat
which  could result  in  tire  damage
that may injure bystanders.
Driving at night
Because   night  driving   presents  more
hazards than driving in the daylight, here
are some important tips to  remember:
Keep  your   windshield  wiping  equip-
ment  in   good  shape.  Replace   your
windshield   wiper  blades   when  they
show  signs   of  streaking  or   missing
areas on the windshield.
NOTICE
The ESP system should be turned OFF
prior to rocking the vehicle.
Slow  down  and  keep  more  distance
between you  and other  vehicles, as  it
may be  more  difficult to  see at  night,
especially  in  areas where  there  may
not be any street lights.
If your  tires are not  in good condition,
making a quick  stop on wet  pavement
can cause a  skid and possibly  lead to
an accident.  Be sure  your tires are  in
good shape.
WARNING
If  your  vehicle  becomes  stuck  in
snow,  mud,  sand,   etc.,  then  you
may attempt to rock the vehicle free
by moving it forward and backward.
Do  not  attempt   this  procedure  if
people   or  objects   are  anywhere
near the vehicle. During the rocking
operation the vehicle may suddenly
move  forward   or  backward  as   it
becomes  unstuck,  causing   injury
or  damage   to   nearby  people   or
objects.
•  Adjust your mirrors to reduce the  glare
from other driver's headlights.
•  Keep your  headlights clean  and prop-
erly  aimed  on vehicles  not  equipped
with  the   automatic  headlight  aiming
feature.   Dirty   or  improperly    aimed
headlights will make it much more diffi-
cult to see at night.
Turn on your headlights to make it eas-
ier for others to see you.
Driving too  fast through large  puddles
can affect  your brakes. If you  must go
through  puddles, try  to  drive  through
them slowly.
Avoid staring directly  at the headlights
of  oncoming  vehicles.  You  could   be
temporarily  blinded,   and  it  will   take
several seconds for your  eyes to read-
just to the darkness.
•  If  you  believe  you  may   have  gotten
your  brakes   wet,  apply  them   lightly
while driving until normal braking oper-
ation returns.
