the vehicle, the steering wheel will
move toward the driver and the driver
seat will move forward when the
Engine Start/Stop button is pressed
to the ACC position.

Driver easy access function from the
User Settings mode on the LCD dis-

Motor-Driven Power Steering
(MDPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the engine 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 retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
If the Motor-Driven Power Steering
(MDPS) System does not operate
normally, the warning light ( )
will illuminate on the instrument
cluster. You may steer the vehicle,
but it will require increased steer-
ing efforts. Take your vehicle to an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products and have the
system checked as soon as possi-
ble.
Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high imme-diately after the Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the MDPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics is completed,
the steering wheel will return to its
normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the MDPS relay after the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON or
OFF position.

• 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 temperature, abnormal
noise may occur. If temperature
rises, the noise will disappear. This
is a normal condition.
• When an error is detected from the MDPS, the assistant function of
steering effort will not be activated
in order to prevent fatal accidents.
Instrument cluster warning lights
may be on or the steering effort may
be high. When the following symp-
toms occur, immediately drive the
vehicle to a safe area and check it.
Tilt Steering / Telescope Steering
Adjust the steering wheel so it points
toward your chest, not toward your
face. Make sure you can see the
instrument cluster warning lights and
gauges. Always adjust the position of
the steering wheel before driving.
To change the steering wheel angle
and height:
Move the switch (1) up and down toadjust the angle (2).
Move the switch forward or rear- ward to adjust the height (3).
Do not adjust the steering wheel
longer than necessary when the
engine is turned off. This may result
in unnecessary battery drain.
