NOTICE
Tilt steering/Telescope steering
(if equipped)
Tilt  steering   allows  you  to   adjust  the
steering wheel before you  drive. You can
also raise the steering wheel to give your
legs more room when you  exit and enter
the vehicle (if equipped).
The  power   steering  uses   a  motor  to
assist you  in steering  the vehicle.  If the
engine is off or if the power steering sys-
tem  becomes   inoperative,  the   vehicle
may  still  be  steered, but  it  will  require
increased steering effort.
The motor driven  power steering is  con-
trolled  by a  power  steering  control unit
which senses the steering  wheel torque,
steering   wheel   position    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  wheel  becomes  heavier
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 steering wheel should be positioned
so that  it is comfortable for  you to drive,
while  permitting  you  to  see the  instru-
ment panel warning lights and gauges.
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 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.
The steering wheel becomes heavier  as
the
vehicle’s
speed
increases
and
WARNING
becomes  lighter as  the  vehicle’s speed
decreases for optimum steering control.
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.
Never adjust the angle and height
of  steering  wheel  while  driving.
You may  lose your  steering con-
trol  and  cause  severe  personal
injury or accidents.
•  After adjusting, push the steering
wheel  both  up  and  down  to  be
certain it is locked in position.
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.
