2015 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Be  sure  your  tires  have   enough
tread.  If  your   tires  do  not   have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and  possibly lead  to  an accident.
See “Tire Treadin chapter 7.
Hydroplaning
Reducing the risk of a rollover
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough,  your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface   and  actually   ride   on  the
water.  The   best  advice   is  SLOW
Turn on your  headlights to make it      DOWN when  the  road  is  wet.  The
easier for others to see you.
risk of hydroplaning increases as the
depth of tire tread decreases, refer to
“Tire Tread” in chapter 7.
Your  multi-purpose passenger  vehi-
cle  is   defined  as  a   Sports  Utility
Vehicle  (SUV).  SUV’s  have   higher
ground  clearance   and  a   narrower
track to  make them  capable  of per-
forming in  a wide variety  of off-road
applications.   The   specific   design
characteristics  give  them   a  higher
center of  gravity than  ordinary vehi-
cles making  them more  likely to roll
over if you  make abrupt turns. Utility
vehicles  have  a significantly  higher
rollover rate than other types of vehi-
cles. Due to this risk, driver and pas-
sengers  are strongly  recommended
to buckle their seat belts. In a rollover
crash, an  unbelted person is  signifi-
cantly more  likely to die  than a  per-
son wearing a seat belt.
Driving too fast  through large pud-
dles can  affect your brakes.  If you
must  go  through  puddles,   try  to
drive through them slowly.
If you  believe your brakes  may be
wet, apply  them  lightly while  driv-
ing until  normal  braking operation
returns.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving  through  flooded areas
unless you  are sure  the water is  no
higher than  the bottom of  the wheel
hub. Drive through  any water slowly.
Allow  adequate   stopping   distance
because brake performance  may be
reduced.
After  driving through  water,  dry the
brakes by gently  applying them sev-
eral times while the vehicle is moving
slowly.
There  are  steps  that  a  driver  can
make to reduce the risk of a  rollover.
If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or
abrupt maneuvers,  do not load  your
vehicle with heavy cargo on the roof,
and never modify your vehicle in any
way.
