DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
13
!
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die
than a person wearing a seat belt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two
or more wheels drop off the road-
way 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.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
o Excessive depressing of the
accelerater pedal under the tyres
slip condition such as moving out
of the mud or fresh snow etc, may
cause severe damage to the trans-
mission. If this condition exists, it
may be adviseable to have the
vehicle towed.
o The automatic transaxle may be used
to great effect if the vehicle becomes
stuck in snow or mud by allowing the
vehicle to be rocked to and fro. The
engine speed should be held at ap-
proximately 1,000rpm by means of
the accelerator pedal and the selec-
tor lever moved between the "D" and
"R" positions to induce a rocking
motion.
o Do not depress the accelerator pedal
with the brakes applied and the se-
lector at the "R", "D", "2" or "L"
position.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good
fuel economy and smooth driving.
But if engine braking is needed in the
"D" range or if repeated upshifting
and downshifting between the 3rd
and 4th gear is needed when climb-
ing a gentle slope, it is recommended
that the overdrive switch be turned
off. Turn the overdrive switch back
on immediately afterward.
