ECS (electronic controlled

warning message
If ECS malfunction warning message
comes on while driving, ECS is not
working properly.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽ NOTICE
• Make sure there are no objects
under the vehicle before changing
the vehicle height.
• A click sound may be heard while
operating ECS, but these condi-
tions are normal and indicate that
ECS is functioning properly.
• Depending on the outside temper-
ature the vehicle height may be
different.
• When the vehicle is parked with
one side of the vehicle lifted or
vehicle speed is suddenly acceler-
ated/decelerated or the steering
wheel is suddenly turned, the
height may not temporarily be
adjusted. This is to protect the sys-
tem.

lifted with a jack, the height may
not temporarily be adjusted. The
ECS will operate normally when
the engine is turned on again or
when the vehicle is accelerated.
• When the vehicle is not driven for
a long period of time, vehicle
height may get low. The ECS will
operate normally when the engine
is turned on.
