If  the  Electronic  Power  Steering
System does not operate normally,
the warning light will illuminate on
the  instrument cluster.  The steer-
ing wheel  may become difficult  to
control or operate abnormally. We
recommend  that  you   contact  an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

ately   after  turning   the   ignition
switch on. This happens as the sys-
tem   performs   the   EPS   system
diagnostics. When  the diagnostics
is  completed,  the  steering   wheel
will return to its normal condition.
A click  noise may  be  heard from
the  EPS  relay  after  the   ignition
switch  is   turned  to   the  ON   or
LOCK/OFF 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  continu-
ously  when  the  vehicle  is  not  in
motion. However, after a few min-
utes,  it  will  return to  its  normal
conditions.
The  motor driven  power steering  is
controlled by the power steering con-
trol  unit  which senses  the  steering
wheel  torque and  vehicle  speed  to
command the motor.
The steering wheel becomes heavier
as the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes   lighter   as  the   vehicle’s
speed decreases for better control of
the steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in  the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle  operation,   we   recommend
that   the   system   be   checked   by
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
When  you   operate   the  steering
wheel in  low temperature,  abnor-
mal noise could occur. If  tempera-
ture rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.
