Hyundai Santa Fe: Driving your vehicle / Four wheel drive (4WD)
Four Wheel Drive (4WD) delivers engine power to front and rear wheels for maximum
traction. 4WD is useful when extra traction is required, such as when driving on,
muddy, wet, or snow-covered roads.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
- Do not drive in conditions that exceed the vehicles intended design
such as challenging off-road conditions.
- 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 a 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.
NOTICE
- Do not drive in water if the level is higher than the bottom of
the vehicle.
- Check your brake condition once you are out of mud or water. Depress
the brake pedal several times as you move slowly until you feel normal braking
return.
- Shorten your scheduled maintenance interval if you drive in off-road
conditions such as sand, mud or water (see "Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions"
section in chapter 9).
- Always wash your vehicle thoroughly after off road use, especially
the bottom of the vehicle.
- Be sure to equip the vehicle with four tires of the same size and
type.
- Make sure that a full time 4WD vehicle is towed by a flat bed tow
truck.
WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or parking, always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal. Shift the gear to the P (Park) position, then
apply the parking brake, and press the Engine Start/Stop button to the OFF position...
