Indicators and Warning
The indicators should illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to ON or START but
should go out after three seconds.
If the indicators do not illuminate, or the
ESC or ESC-OFF indicator does not go out
after 3 seconds, have the vehicle checked
by an authorized dealer.
Should there be any unusual conditions in
the device while driving, ESC-OFF indica-
tor illuminates as a warning.
If ESC-OFF indicator illuminates, pull your
car to a safe place and stop the engine.
Then, start the engine again to check if the
ESC-OFF indicator goes out.
If the indicator remains lit even after the
engine has been started, have your car
checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
FULL-TIME 4WD OPERATION
C350A02JM-AAT
(If installed)
Engine power can be delivered to all
wheels. Full-time 4WD is useful when good
traction is required, such as, when driving
on slippery, wet or snow-covered roads
and when moving out of mud. Your vehicle
is not designed for challenging off-road
use. Full-time 4WD vehicles are designed
primarily to improve traction and perfor-
mance on paved roads and highways in
wet and/or slippery conditions. Occasional
off-road use such as established unpaved
roads and trails is considered normal use.
It is always important when traveling off-
highway that the driver carefully reduce
their 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 on road conditions. These fac-
tors must be carefully considered 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 passengers.
!
WARNING:
This vehicle is designed primarily for on
road use. Driving the vehicle in challeng-
ing off-road conditions may result in
damage to the vehicle. Driving in condi-
tions that exceed the vehicle's intended
design or the driver's experience level
may result in severe injury or death.
Driving 4WD Safely
(1)As always, be sure to wear the seat belt.
(2)Do not drive in challenging off-road
conditions or areas that exceed the
vehicle's basic design intent or the
driver's experience level.
(3)Drive at lower speeds in strong cross-
winds. Because of your vehicle's higher
center of gravity, its stability will be
affected in crosswinds. Slower speeds
ensure better vehicle control.
(4)Check the brake condition after driving
in wet or muddy conditions. Press the
brake several times as you move slowly
until you feel normal braking forces
return.
(5)Do not drive the vehicle through water.
(i.e. streams, rivers, lakes, etc.)
