securely closed.WARNING - Refueling
If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.

is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
Do not "top off" after the noz- zle automatically shuts off

Features of your vehicle
Electric power steering (EPS)
The power steering uses an electric
motor to assist you in steering the
vehicle. If the engine is off or if the
power steering 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 slightly heav-
ier 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 may occur during
normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not
illuminate when turning the igni-
tion to the ON position.
• The steering gets heavy immedi- ately after turning the ignition
switch on. This happens as the sys-
tem performs the EPS system
diagnostics. When the diagnostics
are 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 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.
• When the vehicle is stationary, if you turn the steering wheel all the
way to the left or right repeatedly,
the steering wheel assist may tem-
porarily be reduced, not a system
malfunction. As time passes. The
steering wheel return to normal
operation. (Continued)(Continued)
• When you operate the steering
wheel in very low temperatures,
system noise may occur. When the
temperature rises, the noise will dis-
appear. This is a normal condition.
• When the charging system warn- ing light comes on or the system
voltage is low, the steering wheel
assist may be reduced.

WARNING
When programming theHomeLink®Wireless Control
System, you may be operating
a garage door or gate operator.
Make sure that people and
objects are out of the way of
the moving door or gate to pre-
vent potential harm or damage.
Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that
lacks the safety stop and
reverse feature as required by
federal safety standards. (This
includes any garage door
opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982.) A garage
door opener which cannot
detect an object, signaling the
door to stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without
these features increases risk
of serious injury or death. For
more information, call 1-800-
355-3515 or on the internet at
