Electric power steering
Power steering system uses an electric
motor to assist you in steering the vehi-
cle. If the engine is off or if the power
steering system becomes inoperative,
the vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require an 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 occur dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not illu-
minate.
• The steering wheel becomes heavier
after turning the ignition switch on.
This happens as the system performs
the EPS system diagnostics. When the
diagnostics is completed, the steering
wheel will return to its normal condi-
tion.
• Click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON or LOCK position.
• 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
authorised HYUNDAI dealer and
have the vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
(Continued)(Continued)
• When you operate the steering wheel
in low temperature, abnormal noise
could occur. If temperature rises, the
noise will disappear. This is a normal
condition.
• When the charging system warning
light comes on or the voltage is low
(When the alternator (or battery) does
not operate normally or it malfunc-
tions), the steering wheel may get
heavy and become difficult to control
operate abnormally.
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
When the vehicle is stationary, if
you turn the steering wheel all the
way to the left or right continuously,
the steering wheel becomes heavier
from the end. But this is for your
safety, not system malfunction. As
time passes, the steering wheel will
return to its normal condition.

Maintenance
NORMAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The following maintenance services must be performed to ensure good emission control and performance. Keep receipts for all
vehicle emission services to protect your warranty. Where both mileage and time are shown, the frequency of service is deter-
mined by whichever occurs first.
*
1: Inspect drive belt tensioner, idler and alternator pulley and
if necessary correct or replace.
*
2: The engine oil level should be checked regularly and main-
tained properly. Operating with an insufficient amount of oil
can damage the engine, and such damage is not covered
by warranty.
*
3: Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km or before
starting a long trip.
*
4: If good quality petrol meeting Europe Fuel standards
(EN228) or equivalent, including fuel additives is not avail-
able, one bottle of additive is recommended. Additives are
available from your authorised HYUNDAI dealer along with
information on how to use them. Do not mix other additives.
*
5: This maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. It is
applicable only when using a qualified fuel <"EN590 or
equivalent">. If the diesel fuel specifications don't meet the
EN590, it must be replaced more frequently. HYUNDAI rec-
ommends "every 7,500km inspection, every 15,000km
replacement".
If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow
restriction, surging, loss of power, hard starting problem
etc., replace the fuel filter immediately regardless of main-
tenance schedule and consult an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer for details.*
6: For your convenience, it can be replaced prior to it's interval
when you do maintenance of other items.
*
7: Inspect for excessive valve noise and/or engine vibration
and adjust if necessary. An authorised HYUNDAI dealer
should perform the operation.
*
8: The fuel filter is considered to be maintenance free but peri-
odic inspection is recommended for this maintenance
schedule depends on fuel quality. If there are some impor-
tant matters like fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of power,
hard starting problem etc, replace the fuel filter immediate-
ly regardless of maintenance schedule and consult an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer for details.
*
9: When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft
water for your vehicle and never mix hard water in the
coolant filled at the factory. An improper coolant mixture can
result in serious malfunction or engine damage.
