Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the vehicle is turned off
or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, you may still
steer the vehicle, but it will require
increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Information
The following symptoms may occur dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high imme-
diately after placing the ignition switch
in the ON position.
This happens as the system performs
the EPS system diagnostics. When the
diagnostics are 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 in
the ON or LOCK/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 temperatures, abnormal noise
may occur. If the temperature rises,
the noise will disappear. This is a nor-
mal condition.
• When an error is detected from the EPS, the steering effort assist function
will not be activated in order to pre-
vent fatal accidents. Instrument clus-
ter warning lights may be on or the
steering effort may be high. When the
following symptoms occur, immediate-
ly drive the vehicle to a safe area and
check it.
i
If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate nor-
mally, the warning light ( ) will
illuminate on the instrument
cluster. You may steer the vehi-
cle, but it will require increased
steering efforts. Take your vehi-
cle to an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and have the system
checked as soon as possible.
CAUTION
The Theft Alarm System will not set if
the hood, the liftgate, or any door is
not fully closed. If the system will not
set, check the hood, the liftgate, or the
doors are fully closed.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it.
Information
• Do not lock the doors until all pas-
sengers have left the vehicle. If the
remaining passenger leaves the
vehicle when the system is armed,
the alarm will be activated.
• If the vehicle is not disarmed with the remote key or smart key, open
the doors by using the mechanical
key and place the ignition switch in
the ON position (for remote key) or
start the engine (for smart key) by
directly pressing the ignition switch
with the smart key.
• If the system is disarmed by unlock- ing the vehicle, but neither a door or
the liftgate is opened within 30 sec-
onds, the doors will relock and the
system will rearm automatically.
