Features of your vehicle
Electric power steering (EPS)
The power steering uses a motor to
assist you in steering the vehicle. If the
engine is off or if the power steering sys-
tem becomes inoperative, the vehicle
may still be steered, but it will require
increased steering effort.
The motor driven power steering is con-
trolled by a power steering control unit
which senses the steering wheel torque
and vehicle speed to command the
motor.
The steering becomes heavier as the
vehicle’s speed increases and becomes
lighter as the vehicle’s speed decreases
for optimum steering control.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power steer-
ing checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not illumi-
nate.
• The steering effort is high immediately
after turning the engine start/stop but-
ton on. This happens as the system
performs the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics is completed, the
steering wheel will return to its normal
condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the engine start/stop
button is turned to the ON or LOCK
position.
• A motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving
speed.
• If the Electric Power Steering System
does not operate normally, the warn-
ing light will illuminate on the instru-
ment cluster. The steering wheel may
become difficult to control or operate
abnormally. Take your vehicle to an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
• When you operate the steering wheel
in low temperature, noise could occur.
If temperature rises, the noise will dis-
appear. This is a normal condition.
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normal-
ly, the warning light will illuminate
on the instrument cluster. The
steering wheel may become diffi-
cult to control or operate abnor-
mally. Take your vehicle to an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the vehicle checked as soon
as possible.
When you operate the steering
wheel in low temperature, abnor-
mal noise could occur. If tempera-
ture rises, the noise will disap-
pear. This is a normal condition.

Blue drive mode
Your vehicle is equipped with a highly
efficient power train based on Hyundai's
BlueDrive technology.
BlueDrive mode is for normal, everyday
driving for smooth efficient operation.
Each time you start the vehicle,
BlueDrive is activated automatically.
If needed, the driver can temporarily
switch BlueDrive ON/OFF using the
steering wheel mounted button.
- BlueDrive OFF is intended for brief
periods of unusual driving, such as
steep roads or heavy loads. The cen-
ter cluster background will be Black.
- BlueDrive ON is meant for normal
vehicle driving and provides maxi-
mum fuel efficiency. The instrument
center cluster will glow bright Blue. Switch back to BlueDrive ON as soon
as possible for maximum fuel efficien-
cy and to restore the BlueDrive center
display.
Your vehicle will automatically resume
BlueDrive each time it is restarted.
Trip computer
The trip computer is a microcomputer
controlled driver information system that
displays information related to driving on
the LCD screen when the engine
start/stop button is in the ON position. If
the battery is disconnected, then all
stored driving information is reset.
