Features of your vehicle
Electronic 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 steer-
ing system becomes inoperative, the
vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
The motor driven power steering is
controlled by a power steering con-
trol 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 steer-
ing control.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power
steering checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
✽ ✽NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort is high immedi-
ately after the engine starts. 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 ignition
switch is changed to the ON or
OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low
driving speed.
• When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, abnor-
mal noise could occur. If tempera-
ture rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition. (Continued)(Continued)
• When the vehicle is stationary, if
you turn the steering wheel all the
way to the left or right continuous-
ly, the steering wheel effort
increases. This is not a system mal-
function. As time passes, the steer-
ing wheel effort will return to its
normal condition.
If the Electronic Power Steering
System does not operate normally,
the warning light ( ) will illuminate
on the instrument cluster. The steer-
ing 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.

ACTIVE ECO SYSTEM
Active ECO operation
Active ECO helps improve fuel effi-
ciency by controlling certain engine
and transaxle system operating
parameters. Fuel efficiency depends
on the driver's driving habit and road
condition. When the Active ECO button is
pressed the ECO indicator (green)
will illuminate to show that the
Active ECO is operating.
When the Active ECO is activated, it will remain on until the Active
ECO button is pressed again.
Active ECO does not turn off when
the engine is restarted. To turn off
Active ECO, press the Active ECO
button again.
If Active ECO is turned off, the sys- tem will return to normal mode.
Limitation of Active ECO oper-
ation:
If the following conditions occur while
Active ECO is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
When the coolant temperature islow: The system will be limited until
engine temperature becomes nor-
mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain power when
driving uphill because the engine
torque is required.
When using sports mode: The sys- tem will be limited according to the
manually selected gear.
When the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds: The system will be limited,
judging that the driver desires addi-
tional acceleration.

What to do in an emergency
11. To install the wheel, hold it on thestuds, put the wheel nuts on the
studs and tighten them finger
tight. The nuts should be installed
with their tappered small diame-
ter ends directed inward. Jiggle
the tire to be sure it is completely
seated, then tighten the nuts as
much as possible with your fin-
gers again.
12. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the wheel nut wrench
counterclockwise. Then position the wrench as shown in
the drawing and tighten the wheel
nuts. Be sure the socket is seated
completely over the nut. Do not stand
on the wrench handle or use an exten-
sion pipe over the wrench handle. Go
around the wheel tightening every nut
following the numerical sequence shown in the image until they are all
tight. Then double-check each nut for
tightness. After changing wheels, have
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer tight-
en the wheel nuts to their proper
torque as soon as possible.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
65~79 lb·ft (9~11 kg·m)
If you have a tire gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure.
If the pressure is lower than recom-
mended, drive slowly to the nearest
service station and inflate to the cor-
rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust
it until it is correct. Always reinstall
the valve cap after checking or
adjusting the tire pressure. If the cap
is not replaced, dust and dirt may get
into the tire valve and air may leak
from the tire. If you lose a valve cap,
buy another and install it as soon as
possible.
After you have changed the wheels,
always secure the flat tire in its place
and return the jack and tools to their
proper storage locations.
WARNING - Installing a
wheel
Make sure the wheel makes
good contact with the hub when
installed. If the contact of the
mounting surface between the
wheel and hub is not good, the
wheel nuts could come loose
and cause the loss of a wheel.
Loss of a wheel may result in
loss of control of the vehicle,
serious injury or death.

Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and
any leakage. Replace any deteriorat-
ed or damaged parts immediately.
Brake fluid
Check brake fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir. The level should be
between “MIN” and “MAX” marks on
the side of the reservoir. Use only
hydraulic brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification.
Parking brake
Inspect the parking brake system
including the parking brake pedal or
lever and cables.
Brake discs, pads, calipers
and rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear,
discs for run out and wear, and
calipers for fluid leakage.
Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections
for looseness or damage. Retighten
to the specified torque.
Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine
off, check for excessive free-play in
the steering wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or dam-
age. Check the dust boots and ball
joints for deterioration, cracks, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Exhaust pipe and muffler
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes,
muffler and hangers for cracks, dete-
rioration, or damage. Start the
engine and listen carefully for any
exhaust gas leakage. Tighten con-
nections or replace parts as neces-
sary.
Drive shafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and
clamps for cracks, deterioration, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts and, if necessary, repack the
grease.
Air conditioning refrigerant
Check the air conditioning lines and
connections for leakage and dam-
age.

NOTICE
It is permissible to add 3psi to the standard tire pressure specification if colder temperatures are expected soon.
Tires typically loose 1psi for every 12°F temperature drop. If extreme temperature variations are expected, re-check
your tire pressure as necessary to keep them properly inflated.
