DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
!
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely
to die than a person wearing a
seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off the
roadway and the driver oversteers
to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
o Excessive depressing of the
accelerater pedal under the tire
slip condition such as moving out
of the mud or fresh snow etc, may
cause severe damage to the
transaxle. At this time, take other
way such as towing.

Overdrive Switch
When the overdrive switch is turned on,
the transaxle will automatically upshift
to the second, third and overdrive gears.
When the overdrive switch is turned off,
the transaxle will not upshift to the
overdrive gear. For normal driving, the
selector lever should be left in the "D"
position and the overdrive switch turned
on.
If you need to accelerate rapidly, press
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor. The transaxle will automatically
shift to a lower gear, depending on the
vehicle speed and load.

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES

!
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of
the shelf panel behind the rear seat.
If there were an accident or a sud-
den stop, such objects could move
forward and cause damage to the
vehicle or injure the occupants.
o After being parked, check to be sure
the parking brake is not engaged
HTB217
and that the parking brake indicator
light is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the car is washed. Wet brakes
can be dangerous! Your car will not
stop as quickly if the brakes are wet.
Wet brakes may cause the car to
pull to one side. To dry the brakes,
apply the brakes lightly until the
braking action returns to normal,
taking care to keep the car under
control at all times. If the braking
action does not return to normal,
stop as soon as it is safe to do so
and call your Hyundai dealer for
assistance.
