Electric power steering (EPS)
The system assists you with 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.
Also,  the  steering  effort  becomes
heavier  as  the  vehicle’s  speed
increases  and  becomes  lighter  as
the  vehicle’s  speed  decreases  for
better control of the steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle  operation,  we  recommend
that  the  system  be  checked  by  an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
If  the  Electric  Power  Steering
System  does  not  operate  normal-
ly, the  warning  light  ( )  will  illu-
minate  on  the  instrument  cluster.
The  steering  wheel  may  become
difficult to control or operate. Take
your  vehicle  to  an  authorised
HYUNDAI dealer and have the sys-
tem checked as soon as possible.
Information 
The  following  symptoms  may  occur
during normal vehicle operation:
•The steering effort may be high
immediately  after placing  the  igni-
tion switch or the Engine Start/Stop
button in the ON position.
This  happens  as  the  system  per-
forms  the  EPS  system  diagnostics.
When  the  diagnostics  are  complet-
ed,  the  steering  wheel  will  return  to
its normal condition.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Aclick noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the ignition switch is
placed  in  the  ON  or LOCK/OFF
position (Without Smart key system).
Aclick noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the Engine Start/Stop
button  is  placed  in  the  ON  or OFF
position (with Smart key system).
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle  is  at  a  stop  or at  a  low  driv-
ing speed.
•When you operate the steering
wheel  in  low  temperatures,  abnor-
mal  noise  may  occur.  If  the  temper-
ature  rises,  the  noise  will  disappear.
This is a normal condition.
• When  the  vehicle  is  stationary,  if
you  turn  the  steering  wheel  all  the
way to the left or right continuously,
the  steering  wheel  effort  increases.
This is not a system malfunction. As
time  passes,  the  steering  wheel
effort  will  return  to  its  normal  con-
dition.

Day/night rearview mirror 
(if equipped)
Make  this  adjustment  before  you
start  driving  and  whilst  the  day/night
lever is in the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce  glare  from  the  headlights  of
the  vehicles  behind  you  during  night
driving.
Remember  that  you  lose  some
rearview clarity in the night position.
Electric Chromic Mirror (ECM) 
(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automati-
cally controls the glare from the head-
lamp  of  the  vehicle  behind  you  in
nighttime  or  low  light  driving  condi-
tions.
When  the  engine  is  running,  the
glare  is  automatically  controlled  by
the  sensor  mounted  in  the  rearview
mirror. The  sensor  detects  the  light
level  around  the  vehicle,  and  auto-
matically adjusts to control the head-
lamp glare from vehicles behind you.
Whenever  the  shift  lever  is  placed  in
R (Reverse), the mirror will automat-
ically  go  to  the  brightest  setting  in
order  to  improve  the  driver's  view
behind the vehicle.
To operate the electric rearview
mirror:
•Press the ON/OFF button (1) to
turn  the  automatic  dimming  func-
tion  off. The  mirror  indicator  light
will turn off.
Press  the  ON/OFF  button  (1)  to
turn  the  automatic  dimming  func-
tion  on. The  mirror  indicator  light
will illuminate.
•The mirror defaults to the ON posi-
tion  whenever  the  ignition  switch  or
the  Engine  Start/Stop  button  is  in
the ON position.
