DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2 19 LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL D190A01HP-GAT GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES C130A01L-AAT ! (If installed) WARNING: A limited-slip differential, if equipped, is for the rear wheel differential only. The features of this limited-slip differential are described below: Just as with a conventional differential, the wheel on one side is allowed to turn at a different speed from the wheel on the other side when the vehicle is cornering. The difference between the limited-slip differential and a conventional differential is that if the wheel on one side of the vehicle loses traction, a greater amount of torque is applied to the rear wheel on the other side to improve traction. o Avoid high cornering speeds. o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane charges or fast, sharp turns. o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds. o In a collision, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to be seriously injured or killed than a person wearing a seat belt. o Loss of control may 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. ! WARNING: Nothing should be carried on top of the cargo area cover behind the rear seat. If there were an accident or a sudden 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 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 while driving slowly 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. ! o CAUTION: o Never start the engine with the gearshift lever placed in the forward or reverse while one of the rear wheels is jacked up and the other in contact with the ground; doing so may cause the vehicle to jump forward. Use only recommended oil for LSD in the rear axle. See page 9-5 for the recommended oil descriptions.
