STEERING WHEEL
Electronic power steering (EPS)
✽ NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort is high immediate-
ly 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.

• When the vehicle is stationary, if you
turn the steering wheel all the way to
the left or right continuously, the
steering wheel effort increases. This is
not a system malfunction. As time
passes, the steering wheel effort will
return to its 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 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.
If the Electronic 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.
We recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

condition.
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 authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
