Good driving practices
• Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
(Continued)
•
Never take the vehicle out of gear
and coast down a hill. This is
extremely dangerous.
•
The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control
of your vehicle at highway
speeds.
•
Don't "ride" the brakes. This can
cause the brakes and related parts
to overheat and malfunction.
• Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off
the roadway and the driver
over steers to reenter the
roadway.
When you are driving down a long
hill, slow down and shift to a lower
gear. Engine braking will help slow
down the vehicle.
WARNING
•
In the event your vehicle
leaves the roadway, do not
steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into
the travel lanes.
•
Slow down before shifting to a
lower gear. This will help avoid
over-revving the engine, which can
cause damage.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
5
•
ALWAYS wear your seatbelt.
In a collision, an unbelted
occupant is significantly more
likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly belt-
ed occupant.
•
•
Slow down when you encounter
cross winds. This gives you much
better control of your vehicle.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you shift into R
(Reverse) to prevent damage to
the transaxle.
• HYUNDAI recommends you
follow all posted speed limits.
•
•
Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
