STEERING WHEEL
Electric power steering (EPS)
NOTICE
(Continued)
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.
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 electric  power steering is  controlled
by the  power steering control  unit which
senses  the  steering  wheel  torque  and
vehicle speed to command the motor.
The following symptoms may occur dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
•  The  EPS warning light  does not  illu-
minate.
•  The steering effort is  high immediate-
ly after turning the ignition switch on.
This happens  as the EPS  system per-
forms the diagnostics. When the diag-
nostics   is   completed,    the   steering
effort will return  to its normal  condi-
tion.
When  the  charging  system  warning
light  comes on  or  the  voltage  is low
(When the alternator (or battery) does
not  operate  normally  or it  malfunc-
tions),   the  steering   wheel  may   get
heavy and become  difficult to control
operate abnormally.
The steering effort  becomes heavier   as
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.
If an  error is  detected  in the  electric
power steering  system, EPS  will stop
assisting driver in steering the  vehicle
to prevent  accidents and the  warning
light on  the cluster  will illuminate  or
blink. We recommend that the system
the
vehicle’s    speed   increases    and
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,  we  recommend  that
the system be checked by  an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
be
checked
by
an
authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
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.
