Features of your vehicle
STEERING WHEEL
Electric power steering (EPS)
NOTICE
CAUTION
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
and   vehicle  speed   to   command   the
motor.
The  steering  becomes heavier    as  the
vehicle’s speed increases and   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.
The following symptoms may occur dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
•  The EPS warning light does not illu-
minate.
•  The  steering  gets  heavy  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.
If   the  Electric   Power   Steering
System does not operate normal-
ly, the warning light will illuminate
on  the   instrument   cluster.  The
steering wheel may  become diffi-
cult to  control  or operate  abnor-
mally.  Take  your   vehicle  to   an
authorized  HYUNDAI  dealer  and
have the vehicle checked as soon
as possible.
When  you  operate   the  steering
wheel in  low temperature, abnor-
mal noise could occur. If tempera-
ture  rises,  the  noise  will  disap-
pear.This  is a 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.
A motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at a stop or  at a low driving
speed.
When the  vehicle is  stationary, if
you turn the steering wheel all the
way  to  the left  or  right  continu-
wheel
•  If the Electric Power   Steering System
does not operate normally, the warning
light will illuminate on the instrument
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.
ously,
the
steering
becomes  heavier  from  the   end.
But this is for your safety, not sys-
tem malfunction. As time passes,
the  steering wheel  will  return to
its normal condition.
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.
