• Exercise extreme caution driving up or
down steep hills. The vehicle may roll
over in the grade, terrain, and water/
mud conditions.
• Do not drive across steep hills. A slight
change in the wheel angle may
destabilize the vehicle. A stable vehicle
may lose stability if the vehicle stops its
forward motion. Your vehicle may roll
over, resulting in a serious injury or
death.
Driving through water
• Try to avoid driving in deep standing
water. It may stall your engine and clog
your exhaust pipes.
• If you need to drive in water, stop your
vehicle, set the vehicle in AWD Lock
mode, and drive under 5 mph (8 km/h).
• Do not change gears while driving in
water.
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.
The vehicle is more likely to roll over if
you turn the steering wheel too quickly.
• Always hold the steering wheel firmly
when you are driving off-road.
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 may lose control of the
steering wheel that may lead to serious
injury or death.
Emergency precautions
Tires
Do not use tires or wheels with different
size and type from the one installed on
your vehicle. It may affect the safety and
performance of your vehicle, which could
cause steering failure or rollover causing
serious injury.
When replacing the tires, be sure to equip
all four tires with the same size, type,
tread, brand, and load carrying capacity.
If you equip your vehicle with any
tire/wheel combination not
recommended by HYUNDAI for off-road
driving, do not use these tires for highway
driving.
Never start or run the engine while a
full-time AWD vehicle is raised on a jack.
The vehicle may slip or roll off of a jack
causing serious injury or death.
