motor to assist you in steering the vehi-
cle. If the engine is off or if the power

trolled by power steering control unit

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.

effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power steer-
ing checked by an authorised HYUNDAI
