Hyundaitech - any way to auto enable FWD?

why would you want to run 4 wheel all the time?

It makes no sense, as all it does is waste gas and increase wear and teat on the drivetrain.

After time, the teats droop and get caught in potholes and speed bumps.

Not if they are properly supported and held up in a reasonable manner.

The previous incarnation had full-time 4wd on the 2.7. The 3.5 had electronically controlled 4wd.

I haven't studied to know whether there was a similar difference between the 2.7 and 3.3 when the redesign occurred. The presence of the switch and the default of 4wd off, seems to suggest electronic control.

Keeping 4wd engaged on dry pavement or at high speeds can cause significant drivetrain wear. Check your owner's manual to see if it engages automatically when needed, or take it out in the snow/ice and play around a little to see if the rear wheels start to engage when the front wheels begin to spin.

This should do it

I am unable to set up an account on Hyundaitech, I am running a Mac anyone else have the same problem?

Well, first off - Hyundaitech is a guy who posts here. I bet you're referring to hyundaiusa.com. It would be helpful if you would describe what you are experiencing as you try to set up an account. There was a time when the site only worked with IE, but I thought they had changed that by now.

I think that may be the problem. When I click on the security item before you submit an account nothing happens.

I have a Mac with OS X 10.4 and Firefox. HMAService.com seems to work fine.

Damn - I knew I was doing something wrong when I typed "hyundaiusa.com" in my earlier post. Just could not think of "hmaservice.com" at the time. Getting older is a bitch.
