STEERING WHEEL

NOTICE
D130300AEN
Tilt steering (if equipped)
Tilt  steering   allows  you  to   adjust  the
steering wheel before you drive. You can
also raise it to give  your legs more room
when you exit and enter the vehicle.
Electric power steering
(if equipped)
The following symptoms may occur dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
• 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.
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 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.
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.
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    can   suddenly
increase,  if  the operation  of  the  EPS
system  is  stopped  to  prevent  serious
accidents when  it  detects malfunction
of the EPS system by self-diagnosis.
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.
WARNING
Never adjust the angle and height
of the  steering wheel  while driv-
ing. You  may  lose steering  con-
trol  and  cause  severe  personal
injury, death or accidents.
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.
•  After adjusting, push the steering
wheel  both  up  and  down  to be
certain it is locked in position.
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.
