NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur dur-
If the Electric  Power Steering System
does not  operate normally, the  warn-
ing light will illuminate  on the instru-
ment cluster.  The steering wheel  may
become difficult to  control or operate
abnormally.  Take your  vehicle  to  an
authorized   HYUNDAI    dealer   and
have  the  vehicle checked  as  soon  as
possible.
ing normal vehicle operation:
Power steering  uses the motor  to assist
you in steering  the vehicle. If the  engine
is  off  or  if  the  power  steering  system
becomes  inoperative,  the   vehicle  may
still   be   steered,    but   it   will   require
increased steering effort.
The EPS warning light does not illumi-
nate.
The steering effort is high immediately
after  turning  the  ignition  switch  on.
This happens  as  the system  performs
the EPS system  diagnostics. When the
diagnostics  is completed,  the  steering
wheel will  return to  its normal condi-
tion.
The motor driven  power steering is  con-
trolled by the  power steering control unit
which senses  the steering wheel  torque
and   vehicle  speed   to   command   the
motor.
When you  operate the steering  wheel
in  low  temperature,  abnormal  noise
could occur.  If temperature  rises, the
noise will  disappear. This is a  normal
condition.
A click  noise  may be  heard  from the
EPS  relay after  the ignition  switch  is
turned to the ON or LOCK position.
Motor  noise may  be  heard  when  the
vehicle is at  a stop or  at a low driving
speed.
The  steering   effort   increases  if   the
steering wheel  is rotated  continuously
when  the   vehicle  is   not   in  motion.
However,  after a  few  minutes,  it will
return to its normal conditions.
(Continued)
The steering wheel becomes heavier  as
vehicle’s    speed   increases    and
the
becomes  lighter as  the  vehicle’s speed
decreases for better control  of the steer-
ing wheel.
Should  you  notice  any   change  in  the
effort  required  to   steer  during  normal
vehicle operation, have  the power steer-
ing checked by  an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
