Driving your vehicle
• Always apply the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis-
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.
• Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident
• Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
• ALWAYS wear your seat belt.
In a collision, an unrestrained
occupant is significantly more
likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly
restrained occupant.
• 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 rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control
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.
• HYUNDAI recommends you
follow all posted speed limits.
WARNING
If your vehicle is stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., you
attempt to free the vehicle by
rocking it back and forth. Do not
attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near.
Vehicle may suddenly move for-
ward or rearward as it becomes
unstuck, causing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.
