Good Driving Practices - Hyundai stargazer 2022 Owner's Manual

Good driving practices

• Never take the vehicle out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely dan-
gerous.
• Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause
the brakes and related parts to overheat
and malfunction.
When you are driving down a long hill,
slow down and shift to a lower gear. En-
gine braking will help slow down the
vehicle.
• Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. This will help avoid over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
• Slow down when you encounter cross
winds. This gives you much better con-
trol of your vehicle.
• Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you shift into R (Re-
verse) to prevent damage to the trans-
mission.
• 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.
WARNING
Do not use the engine brake (shifting
from a higher gear to lower gear) rapidly
on slippery roads. The vehicle may slip
causing an accident.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:
• ALWAYS wear your seatbelt. In a colli-
sion, an unbelted occupant is signifi-
cantly more likely to be seriously in-
jured or killed than a properly belted
occupant.
• Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.
• Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
• The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of your ve-
hicle 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. In-
stead, slow down before pulling back
into the travel lanes.
• HYUNDAI recommends you follow all
posted speed limits.
