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.
Take
your
vehicle
to
an
authorized   HYUNDAI   dealer
and have  the vehicle checked
as soon as possible.
A click  noise may  be  heard from
the  EPS  relay  after  the   ignition
switch  is   turned  to   the  ON   or
LOCK (OFF) position.
The  steering  becomes  heavier
as
When  you  operate  the steer-
ing wheel  in low temperature,
abnormal noise could occur. If
temperature  rises,  the   noise
will disappear.This is a normal
condition.
the  vehicle’s  speed  increases   and
becomes   lighter   as  the   vehicle’s
speed decreases for  optimum steer-
ing control.
•  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.
If   the   Electric   Power   Steering
System does not operate normally,
the warning light will illuminate on
the  instrument cluster.  The steer-
ing 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.
(Continued)
When the vehicle is stationary,
if you  turn the steering  wheel
all the  way to  the left or  right
steering
continuously,
the
wheel  becomes  heavier  from
the  end.  But this  is  for  your
safety,  not   system  malfunc-
tion.   As   time    passes,   the
steering  wheel   return  to   its
normal condition.
