STEERING WHEEL

Electric Power Steering (EPS)

Information

The system assists you with steering the

vehicle. If the vehicle is turned off or

if the power steering system becomes

inoperative, you may still steer the

vehicle, but it will require increased

steering effort.

The following symptoms may occur during

normal vehicle operation:

śꢀ The steering effort may be high

immediately after pressing the Engine

Start/Stop button to the ON position.

This happens as the system performs

the EPS system diagnostics. When the

diagnostics are completed, the steering

wheel effort will return to its normal

condition.

Should you notice any change in the

effort required to steer during normal

vehicle operation, have the system

checked by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

śꢀ When the battery voltage is low, you

might have to put more steering effort.

However, it is a temporary condition so

that it will return to normal condition

after charging the battery.

śꢀ A click noise may be heard from the

EPS relay after the Engine Start/Stop

button is in the ON or OFF position.

śꢀ Motor noise may be heard when the

vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving

speed.

śꢀ When you operate the steering wheel

in low temperatures, abnormal noise

may occur. If the temperature rises, the

noise will disappear. This is a normal

condition.

CAUTION

If Electric Power Steering does not

operate normally, the

and the message ‘Check motor driven

power steering’ will illuminate on the

instrument cluster. You may steer the

vehicle, but it will require increased

steering efforts. Take your vehicle to

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or to

a service station and have the system

checked as soon as possible.

warning light

śꢀ When an error is detected from EPS,

the steering effort assist function will

not be activated in order to prevent

fatal accidents. Instrument cluster

warning lights may be on or the

steering effort may be high. If these

symptoms occur, drive the vehicle to

a safe area as soon as it is safe to do

so. Have the system be checked by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon

as possible.

Information

When adjusting the steering wheel to a

comfortable position, adjust the steering

wheel so that it points toward your chest,

not toward your face. Make sure you can
