DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
18
!
CAUTION:
o While the full-time 4WD vehicle is
being raised on a jack, never start the
engine or cause the tires to rotate.
There is danger that rotating tires
touching the ground could cause the
vehicle to go off the jack and to jump
forward.
o If one of the front or rear wheels be-
gins to spin in mud, snow, etc., the
vehicle can sometimes be driven out
by depressing the accelerator pedal
further; however, avoid running the
engine continuously at high rpm be-
cause doing so could damage the
4WD system.
(10) When using tire chains, always attach
them to the front wheels.
(11) If the front or rear wheels get stuck in
the mud, do not spin them recklessly.
The 4WD system could be damaged.
o In rare cases when it's unavoidable
that a 4WD vehicle is to be inspected
on a 2WD roll tester, strictly follow the
procedures.
1. Check the tire pressures recom-
mended for your vehicle.
2. Place the front wheels on the roll
tester as shown in the illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the rear wheels on the tem-
porary free roller as shown in the
illustration.

!
WARNING:
Keep away from the front of the vehicle
while inspecting. This is very dangerous
as the vehicle can jump forward and
cause serious injury or death.
!
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
charges or fast, sharp turns.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
o In a collision, an unbelted person is
signicantly more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a person wearing
a seat belt.
o Loss of control may occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver oversteers to reenter
the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the
roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead,
slow down before pulling back into the
travel lanes.
(9)For a speedometer test or inspection/
maintenance (I/M) program of a Tucson
4WD vehicle, use a four wheel chassis
dynamometer.
CAUTION:
Never engage the parking brake while
performing these tests.
