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.

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.

so that it is comfortable for you to drive,
while permitting you to see the instru-
ment panel warning lights and gauges.

Electric chromic mirror (ECM)
The electric rearview mirror automatical- ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensormounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and through achemical reaction, automatically controls
the headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle.

the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). Any light that does not illuminate
should be checked by an authorised
Hyundai dealer.
After starting the engine, check to make
sure that all warning lights are off. If anyare still on, this indicates a situation that
needs attention. When releasing the

light should go off. The fuel warning light
will stay on if the fuel level is low.

approximately 6 seconds each time you
turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-tion. This light also comes on when the SRS
is not working properly. If the AIRBAG
warning light does not come on, or con-
tinuously remains on after operating for
about 6 seconds when you turned the
ignition switch to the ON position or start-
ed the engine, or if it comes on while
driving, have the SRS inspected by an
authorised Hyundai dealer.

is turned to ON and goes off in approxi-
mately 3 seconds if the system is operat-
ing normally.

comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, this indicates
that there may be a problem with the

as possible. The normal braking system
will still be operational, but without the
assistance of the anti-lock brake system. Electronic brake force distri-bution (EBD) system warninglight
