Driving your vehicle
WARNING
Rollover
As with other Sports Utility
Vehicle (SUV), failure to operate
this vehicle correctly may result
in loss of control, an accident or
vehicle rollover.
•
Utility vehicles have a signifi-
cantly higher rollover rate
than other types of vehicles.
•
Specific design characteris-
tics (higher ground clearance,
narrower track, etc.) give this
vehicle a higher centre of
gravity than ordinary vehicles.
•
A SUV is not designed for cor-
nering at the same speeds as
conventional vehicles.
•
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt
manoeuvres.
•
In a rollover crash, an unbelt-
ed person is significantly
more likely to die than a per-
son wearing a seat belt. Make
sure everyone in the vehicle is
properly buckled up.

WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with
tyres designed to provide safe
ride and handling capability. Do
not use a size and type of tyre
and wheel that is different from
the one that is originally
installed on your vehicle. It can
affect the safety and perform-
ance of your vehicle, which
could lead to steering failure or
rollover and serious injury.
When replacing the tyres, be
sure to equip all four tyres with
the tyre and wheel of the same
size, type, tread, brand and
load-carrying capacity. If you
nevertheless decide to equip
your vehicle with any tyre/wheel
combination not recommended
by HYUNDAI for off road driv-
ing, you should not use these
tyres for highway driving.
WARNING
Jacked vehicle
Whilst a full-time 4WD vehicle is
being raised on a jack, never
start the engine or cause the
tyres to rotate.
There is a danger that rotating
tyres touching the ground could
cause the vehicle to fall off the
jack and to jump forward or
rearward.
