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.
