STEERING WHEEL
Electric power steering (EPS)
NOTICE
(Continued)
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.
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 electric  power steering is  controlled
by the  power steering control  unit which
senses  the  steering  wheel  torque  and
vehicle speed to command the motor.
The following symptoms may occur dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
•  The EPS warning light does not illu-
minate.
•  The steering effort is high immediate-
ly after turning the ignition switch on.
This happens as the EPS system per-
forms the diagnostics. When the diag-
nostics   is   completed,    the   steering
effort will return to its normal condi-
tion.
When  the  charging  system  warning
light  comes  on  or the  voltage  is  low
(When the alternator (or battery) does
not  operate  normally  or it  malfunc-
tions),   the  steering   wheel  may   get
heavy and become difficult to control
operate abnormally.
The steering effort  becomes heavier   as
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.
If an error  is detected in the electric
power steering system, EPS will stop
assisting driver in steering the vehicle
to prevent accidents and the warning
light on the cluster   will illuminate or
blink. We recommend that the system
the
vehicle’s    speed   increases    and
becomes  lighter as  the  vehicle’s speed
decreases for better control  of the steer-
ing wheel.
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.
be
checked     by     an     authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
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.
