New 2008 HYUNDAI SANTA FE

The 2008 Santa Fe looks fresh, shapely and attractive. Completely redesigned for 2007, it shed the quirky lumpiness of the pre-2007 models. It's a little bigger than previously, and comes in five- and seven-passenger versions. Yet it retains Hyundai's value quotient. Underway, the Santa Fe handles well on winding, paved roads.

For 2008, a 605-watt Infinity Logic 7 audio system is now standard on the top-rung Santa Fe Limited. So is a power sunroof. And a new navigation system is optional.

More important, the Santa Fe delivers on safety, with six airbags and standard anti-lock brakes, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, stability control, and traction control. It has earned the Federal government's top five-star crash test rating for front and side impacts, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) Top Safety Pick, an award given to only 21 new vehicles. The Santa Fe is assembled in Montgomery, Alabama, at a plant that has been certified to the International Automotive Task Force's (IATF) most rigid quality management standard. More than half of the Hyundais sold in the U.S. are now manufactured here.

Hyundai is on a roll. Its vehicles are proving to have the reliability and quality people expect from Japanese cars. The Santa Fe could be a true alternative to the Toyota Highlander and other higher-priced crossovers.

Model Lineup

The 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe comes in three trim levels: GLS, SE, and Limited. All-wheel drive is offered as an option on all three. All come with seating for five. SE and Limited offer seating for seven as part of various option packages.

The GLS is powered by a 185-hp 2.7-liter V6 engine. it comes standard with a five-speed manual gearbox. A four-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual control is optional.

The Premium Equipment Package includes all of the above, plus a power tilt-and-slide sunroof, heated front seats, and a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.

The SE has a more powerful, 242-hp 3.3-liter V6; five-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic; and 18-inch alloy wheels. In addition to the equipment found on the GLS, the SE adds premium-level cloth upholstery, electrochromic auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass, front fog lights, leather wrapped steering wheel (with audio controls) and shift knob, windshield wiper deicer, automatic headlights, heated mirrors, driver seat lumbar support. trip computer, and a chrome molding around the grille.

Thus equipped, the Santa Fe can tow up to 3,500 pounds.

The Limited comes with leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, power driver seat with power lumbar support, dual-zone automatic climate control with outside temperature display, and HomeLink. A chrome grille and exterior door handles, as well as a body-color hatch spoiler, distinguish the Limited.

The Limited Touring Package adds seven-passenger seating, third-row auxiliary climate control, a rear seat entertainment system with an eight inch LCD monitor and 115-volt power outlet, and the trailering equipment described above.

All Santa Fe models come with Hyundai's bumper-to-bumper warranty of five years/60,000 miles, plus a powertrain warranty of 10 years/100,000 miles.

Safety features that come standard on all models include dual front airbags, front seat side-impact airbags (for torso protection), side curtain airbags (for head protection) and active front head restraints. Active safety features include antilock brakes with brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability control, traction control, and a tire-pressure monitoring system.

Tire Safety

Studies of Tire Safety show that maintaining proper tire pressure, observing tire and
vehicle load limits, avoiding road hazards, and inspecting tires for cuts, slashes, and other irregularities are the most important things you can do to avoid tire failure, such as tread separation or blowout and flat tires. These actions, along with other care and maintenance activities, can also:
Improve vehicle handling
Help protect you and others from avoidable breakdowns and accidents
Improve fuel economy
Increase the life of your tires

Tire Maintenance items include the following:

Tire Size (be sure your vehicle is equipped with the tire size recommended by the factory)
• Tire Tread (be sure to inspect tread condition and tread wear pattern, odd wear could be alignment related)
• Tire Balance (be sure to periodically check balance to prevent vibrations in the wheel)
• Wheel Alignment (poor alignment can drastically reduce tire life and cause poor traction on roads)
• Tire Rotation (be sure to rotate your tires every other oil change, this can reduce uneven wear and can •
extend tire life)



Steps To Take After A Car Accident

Although car accidents are more prevalent in the winter months, what you need to do after an accident never changes. Obviously it is hard to think clearly after a car accident so it is important to know before you get into an accident what to do first and what questions may need answered. This checklist will help you know what to do after a car accident. It is best to review it now and then print it out and keep a copy with you in your car.

  • Determine the Extent of Damage or Injuries
    Try to stay calm. Panic can make others panic and the situation worse. There needs to be a calm person to determine the extent of damage and to determine if there are any injuries that need immediate medical attention.

  • File a Car Accident Report with the Police
    Even in a minor accident it is important to make sure there is a legal accident report. Do not leave the scene until the police file a full report.

  • Discuss the Car Accident Only with the Police
    With everyone all shook up it can be hard not to talk about what just happened, but that can also lead to you not thinking clearly and accurately about what happened. It is important to limit your discussion of the accident and not to admit any fault or liability. You should talk about the accident with the police and your insurance agent only.

  • Get the Facts
    This is the part most people know to do, but often forget to after the accident for one reason or another. It is important to get names, address, and phone numbers of everyone involved in the accident. A description of the car and license plate number can also be helpful, but make sure you also get their insurance company and the vehicle identification number of their car. Don't just assume the license plate number will do because most insurance companies only record the type of car and the vehicle identification number, not the license plate number.

  • Call your Insurance Agent
    Call your agent or insurance company's 800-number immediately, even at the scene with the police if possible. Sometimes the police officer can give your insurance company more accurate information rather than information you may not be recording properly because you are upset by the accident. This can save you a lot of time later waiting for your claim to be processed.
