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 assist increases as the
vehicle’s speed increases and as the
vehicle’s speed decreases for optimum
steering assist decreases.
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 illu-
minate.
• The steering gets heavy immediately 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.
• A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON or LOCK (OFF)
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 operate due to
increasing steering effort. Take your
vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and have the vehicle checked as
soon as possible. (Continued)
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normal-ly, the warning light will illuminateon the instrument cluster. Thesteering wheel may become diffi- cult to control or operate abnor-mally. Take your vehicle to anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer andhave the vehicle checked as soonas 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.
When the vehicle is stationary, if you turn the steering wheel all theway to the left or right continu- ously, the steering wheelbecomes heavier from the end.This is normal and not system malfunction. As time passes, thesteering wheel will return to its normal condition.

(Continued)
• When you operate the steering wheelin 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 operate
due to increased steering effort.Tilt and telescopic steering
(if equipped)
Tilt and telescopic steering allows you to
adjust the steering wheel before you
drive. You can also raise it to give your
legs more room when you exit and enter
the vehicle.
The steering wheel should be positioned
so that it is comfortable for you to drive,
while permitting you to see the instru-
ment panel warning lights and gauges.
To change the steering wheel angle and
height, pull down the lock release lever
(1), adjust the steering wheel to the
desired angle (2) and height (3), then pull
up the lock-release lever to lock the
steering wheel in place. Be sure to adjust
the steering wheel to the desired position
before driving.
ORB044018N
WARNING
Never adjust the steering wheelwhile driving. You may lose steer-
ing control and cause severe per-
sonal injury, death or accidents.
After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and down to be
certain it is locked in position.

and face.
In this mode, the air conditioning and the
recirculated air position will be selected
automatically.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
This setting should be used briefly to
help quickly cool the interior. After the
interior temperature has cooled suffi-
ciently, turn the temperature knob away
from the MAX A/C position to a com-
fortable setting.
Instrument panel vents
The outlet vents can be opened or closed
separately using the horizontal thumb-
wheel. To close the vent, rotate it left to
the maximum position. To open the vent,
rotate it right to the desired position.
Also, you can adjust the direction of air
delivery from these vents using the vent
control lever as shown.Temperature control
The temperature control knob allows you
to control the temperature of the air flow-
ing from the ventilation system. To

mand after the voice instruction and
beep tone.
Contact List Best Practices
1) Do not store single-name entries (e.g.,
“Bob”, “Mom”, “Kim”, etc.).
Instead, always use full names (includ-
ing first and last names) for all contacts
(e.g., use “Jacob Stevenson” instead of
“Dad”).
2) Do not use abbreviations (i.e., use “Lieutenant” instead of “Lt.” or
“Sergeant” instead of “Sgt.”).
3) Do not use acronyms (i.e., use “County Finance Department” instead of
“CFD”).
4) Do not use special characters (e.g., “@”, “hyphen -”, “asterisk *”, “amper-
sand &”). 5) If a name is not recognized from the
contact list, change it to a more
descriptive name (e.g., use “Grandpa
Joseph” instead of “Pa Joe”).
Skipping Prompt Messages

Driving your vehicle
Good driving practices
Never take the vehicle out of gear andcoast down a hill. This is extremely haz-
ardous. Always leave the vehicle in gear.
Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunc-
tion. Instead, when you are driving
down a long hill, shift to a lower gear.
When you do this, engine braking will
help slow down the vehicle.
Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
Slow down when you encounter cross winds. This gives you much better con-
trol of your vehicle.
Be sure the vehicle is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into
R (Reverse). The transaxle can be dam-
aged if you do not.
Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating or
shifting gears. On a slippery surface,
an abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and the vehicle to go out of control.WARNING
Always buckle-up! In a collision,
an unbelted occupant is signifi-
cantly more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a properly
belted occupant.
Avoid high speeds when corner- ing or turning.
Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp
lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the
roadway and the driver over-
steers to reenter the roadway.
In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
Never exceed posted speed limits.

Ignition key interlock system
The ignition key cannot be removed
unless the shift lever is in the P (Park)
position. Even if the ignition switch is in
the LOCK position, the key also cannot
be removed.
Good driving practices
Never move the gear shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other posi-
tion with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
Never move the gear shift lever into P (Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into R
(Reverse) or D (Drive).
Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be
extremely hazardous. Always leave the
car in gear when moving.
Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunc-
tion. Instead, when you are driving
down a long hill, slow down, shift into
Manual shift mode and shift to a lower
gear. When you do this, engine braking
will help slow the car.
Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may
not be engaged. Always use the parking brake. Do not
depend on placing the transaxle in P
(Park) to keep the car from moving.
Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating or
shifting gears. On a slippery surface,
an abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and the vehicle to go out of control.
Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the accelera-
tor pedal.

Moving up a steep grade from a stand-ing start
To move up a steep grade from a stand-
ing start, depress the brake pedal, shift
the shift lever to D (Drive). Depress the
accelerator gradually while releasing the
service brakes.

WARNING
If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you
may attempt to rock the vehicle free
by moving it forward and backward.
Do not attempt this procedure if
people or objects are anywhere
near the vehicle. During the rocking
operation the vehicle may suddenly
move forward or backward as it
becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people or
objects.
Do not rev up the engine. This may
cause engine over-heating,
transaxle damage or failure, and
tire damage.
