STEERING WHEEL

Electric power steering
(if equipped)
✽ NOTICE
The following characteristics may be
observed during normal vehicle opera-
tion:
D130300AEN-UK
Adjustable steering column
(if equipped)
The adjustable steering column permits
adjustment of the rake and height of the
steering wheel for the convenience of the
driver.
The position of the steering wheel should
be adjusted for maximum comfort and
control whilst permitting a clear view of
the instrument panel.
•
The EPS warning light should only be
illuminated with the ignition ON
before starting the engine.
The steering may become 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 power steering system employs an
electric motor to provide steering assis-
tance to the driver. Unlike conventional
hydraulic systems, no engine driven
pump or associated pipes are required
which contributes to reduced operating
noise and increased efficiency.
The electric power steering provides vari-
able assistance according to vehicle
speed and the effort (torque) being
applied to the steering wheel by the driv-
er.
The amount of assistance provided is
greatest when the vehicle speed is very
low and there is a progressive decrease
in assistance as vehicle speed increas-
es.
The system is maintenance free and
there are no user serviceable parts with-
in the steering system.
•
•
A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON or LOCK position.
WARNING
•
•
Never adjust the angle of the
steering wheel whilst driving. You
may lose steering control and
cause severe personal injury,
death or accidents.
After adjusting, push the steering
wheel both up and down to be
certain it is locked in position.
• Steering system motor operation may
be heard when the vehicle is station-
ary or travelling at very low speed.
• A sudden increase in steering effort
will be noticed if the system detects a
malfunction and turns off the power
assistance.
Under these circum-
stances, steering control will be
retained but increased steering effort
will be required by the driver.
A warning light is provided to alert the
driver of any abnormality detected within
the system. Illumination of this lamp
when the engine is running or any
change in the effort required to steer the
vehicle must be referred to the nearest
HYUNDAI authorised repairer without
delay.
• The steering wheel may be heavier if
the steering wheel is rotated continu-
ously when the vehicle is not in motion.
However, after a few minutes the steer-
ing wheel will return to its normal con-
dition.
