Does my Hyundai Santa Fe automatically disengage the ESP when engaging four-wheel drive?
I believe I have to disengage my Hyundai Santa Fe's ESP if I decide to use locked four-wheel drive. Does this mean that if the car decides to engage four-wheel drive itself, it automatically disengages the ESP itself, please?

No because when it automatically engages 4WD it does not lock the centre diff, it only engages 4WD. Locking the centre diff is for added traction at low speeds in severe conditions.

Relaxed motorway cruising. Comfortable ride. Excellent on very rough tracks. Available with seven seats. Good value. Much improved from 2010 with new 2.2-litre diesel.
