Hyundai Tucson: Driving Your Vehicle / All Wheel Drive (AWD)
The All Wheel Drive (AWD) system
delivers engine power to all front and
rear wheels for maximum traction. AWD
is useful when extra traction is required
on roads such as slippery, muddy, wet, or
snow-covered roads.
AWD may also be used for occasional
off-road use such as established
unpaved roads and trails. Always reduce
the speed to a level that is appropriate
for those conditions.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death:
- Do not drive in conditions that exceed
the vehicle's intended design such as
challenging off-road conditions.
- Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.
- Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
- The risk of a rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
- Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver over steers to reenter
the roadway.
- In the event your vehicle leaves the
roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead,
slow down before pulling back into
the travel lanes.
NOTICE
- Do not drive in water if the water
level is higher than the bottom of the
vehicle.
- Check your brake condition once you
are out of mud or water. Depress the
brake pedal several times as you move
slowly until you feel normal braking
condition return.
- Shorten your scheduled maintenance
interval if you drive in off-road
conditions such as sand, mud, or
water (refer to the "Maintenance
Under Severe Usage Conditions"
section in Chapter 9).
- Always wash your vehicle thoroughly
after off-road use, especially the
bottom of the vehicle.
- Make sure that a full time AWD vehicle
is towed by a flat-bed tow truck.
