Electric Power Steering (EPS)
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 HYUNDAI
dealer.
Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high
immediately after placing the igni-
tion 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 nor-
mal condition.
• 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 temperature, abnormal noise
may occur. If temperature rises, the
noise will disappear. This is a normal
condition.
• When an error is detected from the EPS, the warning light will illumi-
nate on the instrument cluster and
the steering efforts may be increased.
When the following symptoms occur,
immediately drive the vehicle to a
safe area and check it.
Tilt Steering/Telescopic
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. After adjusting, push the
steering wheel both up and down to
be certain it is locked in position.
Always adjust the position of the
steering wheel before driving.
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.
CAUTIONNEVER adjust the steering
wheel while driving. This may
cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.

The sunroof can only be opened,
closed, or tilted when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
Information

Gasoline is highly flammable
and explosive. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
Read and follow all warnings
posted at the gas station.
Before refueling, note the
location of the Emergency
