STEERING WHEEL
Electronic power steering
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 power steering control unit
which sense the steering wheel torque,
steering wheel position and vehicle
speed to command the motor.
The steering wheel becomes heavier as
the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s speed
decreases for the better control of the
steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power steer-
ing checked by an authorised Hyundai
dealer.
✽✽ NOTICE
The following symptoms may be
occurred during normal vehicle opera-
tion and if there is no illumination ofEPS warning light, it is not malfunction
of EPS system. After turning the igni-tion switch on, the steering wheel
becomes heavier while it performs EPS
system diagnostics for a few seconds,
then it returns to be normal steering
condition. The click sound of EPS relay
may occur after turning the ignition
switch on or off, this is normal opera-
tion. When it is steered in the stop posi-
tion or low driving speed, motor noise
may occur again, this is normal opera-tion.Tilt steering
A tilt steering wheel allows you to adjust
the steering wheel before you drive. You
can also raise it to the highest level to
give your legs more room when you exit
and enter the vehicle.

ment panel warning lights and gauges.
