2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 18 (9)For a speedometer test or inspection/ maintenance (I/M) program of a Tucson 4WD vehicle, use a four wheel chassis dynamometer. (10) When using tire chains, always attach them to the front wheels. (11) If the front or rear wheels get stuck in the mud, do not spin them recklessly. The 4WD system could be damaged. ! WARNING: ! CAUTION: Never engage the parking brake while performing these tests. o In rare cases when it's unavoidable that a 4WD vehicle is to be inspected on a 2WD roll tester, strictly follow the procedures. 1. Check the tire pressures recommended for your vehicle. 2. Place the front wheels on the roll tester as shown in the illustration. 3. Release the parking brake. 4. Place the rear wheels on the temporary free roller as shown in the illustration. ! CAUTION: o While the full-time 4WD 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 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 4WD 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 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. ! WARNING: Keep away from the front of the vehicle while inspecting. This is very dangerous as the vehicle can jump forward and cause serious injury or death.
