2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 20 AWD LOCK SYSTEM (10) When using tire chains, always attach them to the four wheels. In some unavoidable circumstances, install them on only the front wheels, not the rear wheels. (11) If the front or rear wheels get stuck in the mud, do not spin them recklessly. The AWD system could be damaged. C360A01CM-AAT ! WARNING: (With Electronic Control AWD) (If installed) Type A ! CAUTION: If one of the front or rear wheels begins to spin in mud, snow, etc., the vehicle can sometimes be driven out by depressing the accelerator pedal further; however, avoid running the engine continuously at high rpm because doing so could damage the AWD system. 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 While the full-time AWD vehicle is being raised on a jack, never start the engine or cause the tires to rotate. There is danger that rotating tires touching the ground could cause the vehicle to go off the jack and to jump forward. o In a collision, an unbelted person is signicantly 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. OCM051045C Type B OCM051046N
