Full-Time 4Wd Operation - Hyundai TUCSON Owner's Manual

!
WARNING:
Pay close attention when the vehicle
is driven close to objects on the
road, particularly pedestrians, and
especially children. Be aware that
some objects may not be detected by
the sensors, due to the object's dis-
tance, size or material, all of which
can limit the effectiveness of the
sensor. Always perform a visual
inspection to make sure the vehicle
is clear of all obstructions before
moving the vehicle in any direction.
NOTE:
If you don't hear an audible warning
sound or if the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently when shifting the gear to
"R" position, this may indicate a
malfunction in the rear parking as-
sist system. If this occurs, have your
vehicle checked by a Hyundai
authorised repairer as soon as pos-
sible.
FULL-TIME 4WD OPERA-
TION
C350A02JM-GAT
(If installed)
Engine power can be delivered to all
front and rear wheels for maximum
power. 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. These vehicles, however, are
not designed for challenging off-road
use. Full-time 4WD vehicles are de-
signed primarily to improve traction
and performance on paved roads and
highways in wet and/or slippery condi-
tions. Occasional off-road use such as
established unpaved roads and trails
is OK. It is always important when
traveling off-highway that the driver
carefully reduce their speed to a level
that does not exceed the safe operat-
ing speed for those conditions. In gen-
eral, off-road conditions provide less
traction and braking effectiveness than
on road conditions. These factors must
be carefully considered when driving
off-road. Keeping the vehicle in contact
with the driving surface and under con-
trol in these conditions is always the
driver's responsibility for the safety of
him/herself and his or her passengers.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
!
WARNING:
This vehicle is designed primarily
for on road use. Driving the vehicle
in challenging off-road conditions
for which it was not designed may
result in damage to the vehicle.
Driving in conditions that exceed
the vehicle's intended design or the
driver's experience level may result
in severe injury or death.
Driving 4WD Safely
(1) 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
crosswinds. Because of your
vehicle's high center of gravity, its
stability will be affected in cross-
winds. Slower speeds ensure bet-
ter vehicle control.
