Emergency Precautions - Hyundai IONIQ 6 2023 Owner's Manual

Driving Your Vehicle
CAUTION
Always drive slowly in water. If you drive
too fast, water may get into the motor
compartment, causing your vehicle to
suddenly stop.
Additional driving conditions
• Become familiar with the off-road
conditions before driving.
• Always pay attention when driving
off-road and avoid dangerous areas.
• Drive slowly when driving in heavy
wind.
• Reduce vehicle speed when cornering.
The center of gravity of AWD vehicles is
higher than conventional 2WD vehicles,
making them more likely to roll over
when you rapidly turn corners.
• Always hold the steering wheel firmly
when you are driving off-road.
WARNING
Do not grab the inside of the steering
wheel when you are driving off-road. You
may hurt your arm by a sudden steering
maneuver or from steering wheel
rebound due to an impact with objects on
the ground. You could lose control of the
steering wheel which may lead to serious
injury or death.

Emergency Precautions

Tires
When replacing tires, be sure to equip all
four tires with the same size, type, tread
patterns, brand and load-carrying
capacity.
6-38
WARNING
Do not use tire and wheel with different
size and type from the one originally
installed on your vehicle. It can affect the
safety and performance of your vehicle,
which could lead to steering failure or
rollover causing serious injury.
WARNING
B6005201
Never start or run the vehicle while an
AWD vehicle is raised on a jack. The
vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack causing
serious injury or death to you or those
nearby.
Towing
AWD vehicles must be towed with a
wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground. For more information, refer to the
"Towing" section in chapter 8.
Vehicle inspection
• If the vehicle needs to be operated on a
vehicle lift do not attempt to stop any of
the four wheels from turning. This could
damage the AWD system.
• Never engage the parking brake while
running the vehicle on a car lift. This
may damage the AWD system.
