Four Wheel Drive (4Wd) - Hyundai Santa Fe Owner's Manual

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) (IF EQUIPPED)
■ Type A
■ Type B
The Four Wheel Drive (4WD)
System delivers engine power to all
front and rear wheels for maximum
traction. 4WD is useful when extra
traction is required on slippery,
muddy, wet, or snow-covered roads.
Occasional off-road use such as
established unpaved roads and trails
are OK. It is always important that
the driver carefully reduces the
speed to a level that does not exceed
the safe operating speed for those
conditions.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
•
Do not drive in conditions that
exceed the vehicles intended
design such as challenging
off-road conditions.
•
Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
•
Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
•
The risk of a rollover is great-
ly increased if you lose con-
trol of your vehicle at highway
speeds.
•
Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off
the roadway and the driver
over steers to reenter the
roadway.
•
In the event your vehicle
leaves the roadway, do not
steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into
the travel lanes.
