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 steer-
ing system becomes inoperative, the
vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
The motor driven power steering is
controlled by a power steering con-
trol unit which senses the steering
wheel torque and vehicle speed to
command the motor.
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not
illuminate.
• The steering gets heavy immedi-
ately after turning the ignition
switch on. This happens as the sys-
tem performs the EPS system
diagnostics. When the diagnostics
is completed, the steering wheel
will return to its normal condition.
•
If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate nor-
mally, the warning light will
illuminate on the instrument
cluster. The steering wheel
may become difficult to con-
trol or operate abnormally.

if you turn the steering wheel
all the way to the left or right
continuously, the steering
wheel becomes heavier from

safety, not system malfunc-
tion. As time passes, the
steering wheel return to its

speed decreases for optimum steer-

• A motor noise may be heard when
the vehicle is at a stop or at a low
driving speed.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power
steering checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

System does not operate normally,
the warning light will illuminate on
