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.
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. If a malfunction is detected in
the electric power steering
(EPS) system, the power steer-
ing assist will be disabled. If this
occurs, the EPS warning light in
the cluster will either turn on or
blink. The steering effort when
turning may be increased. Have
your vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer 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 in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics are completed,
the steering wheel effort will return
to its normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the POWER 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 temperatures, you
may hear a noise from the electric
power steering system. If the tem-
perature rises, the noise will disap-
pear. This is a normal condition.

If your vehicle is equipped with a
sunroof, you can slide or tilt your
sunroof with the sunroof control
switch located on the overhead con-
sole.
The sunroof can be opened, closed,
or tilted when the POWER button is
in the ON position.
The sunroof can be operated for
approximately 10 minutes after the
POWER button is in the ACC or OFF
position.
However, as soon as the front doors
are opened, electrical power to the
sunroof will be turned off, so the 10-
minute period where power to the
sunroof is available will be cancelled.Information
• In cold and wet climates, the sun-roof may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.
• After the vehicle is washed or in a rainstorm, be sure to wipe off any
water that is on the sunroof before
operating it.
Do not continue to move the sun-roof control lever after the sun-
roof is fully opened, closed, or
tilted. Damage to the motor or
system components could occur.
Make sure the sunroof is closed fully when leaving your vehicle.
If the sunroof is open, rain or
snow may enter through the
sunroof and damage the interior.
Also, if the sunroof is left open,
risk of theft may be increased.

Power Down Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
When the power output from the
vehicle is limited. The vehicle is in
fail-safe mode.
Power from the vehicle is limited due
to one of the following reasons:
- The state of charge (SOC) of the
high voltage battery is very low.
Typically the Power Down Warning
Light will turn ON when the SOC is
below 3%.
- The temperature of the EV drive motor or the high voltage battery is
either too high (overheating) or too
low (freezing)
- There is a problem with either the cooling system or a vehicle system

The high-pressure cooling system
has a reservoir filled with year-round
antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is
filled at the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at
the beginning of the winter season
and before traveling to a colder cli-
mate.Checking the Coolant Level
Check the condition and connections
of all cooling system hoses and
heater hoses. Replace any swollen
or deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between the MAX and the MIN
marks on the side of the coolant
reservoir when the parts in the motor
compartment are cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) water to bring
the level to the MAX mark, but do not
overfill. If frequent additions are
required, you see an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for a cooling sys-
tem inspection.
Recommended coolant
When adding coolant, use only
distilled (deionized) water for your
vehicle and never mix hard water in
the coolant filled at the factory.
An improper coolant mixture can result in severe malfunction or
electric vehicle damage.
Do not use alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the spec-
ified coolant.
Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze or less
than 35% antifreeze, which would
reduce the effectiveness of the
solution.

Maintenance
For mixing percentage, refer to the
following table:
Information
If in doubt about the mix ratio, a 50%
water and 50% antifreeze mix is the
easiest to mix together as it will be the
same quantity of each. It is suitable to
use for most temperature ranges of
- 31°F and higher.The electric motor for the cooling fan
is controlled by coolant temperature,
refrigerant pressure and vehicle
speed. As the coolant temperature
decreases, the electric motor will
automatically shut off. This is a nor-
mal condition.

coolant cap or the
drain plug while the
radiator is hot. Hot
coolant and steam
may blow out under pressure,
causing serious injury.
Turn the vehicle off and wait
until the parts in the motor com-
partment cool down. Use
extreme care when removing
the coolant cap. Wrap a thick
towel around it, and turn it
counterclockwise slowly to the
first stop. Step back while the
pressure is released from the
cooling system. When you are
sure all the pressure has been
released, press down on the
cap, using a thick towel, and
continue turning counterclock-
wise to remove it.
WARNING
The electric motor for
the cooling fan may
continue to operate
or start up when the
vehicle is not running
and can cause serious injury.
Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the rotating fan
blades of the cooling fan.
