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
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high
immediately after placing the
POWER button in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics is completed,
the steering wheel will return to its
normal condition.
• When the battery voltage is low, you
might have to put more steering
effort. However, it is a temporary
condition so that it will return to
normal condition after charging the
battery.
• 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 temperature, abnormal
noise may occur. If temperature
rises, the noise will disappear. This
is a normal condition.
(Continued)(Continued)
• When an error is detected from the
EPS, the assistant function of steer-
ing 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.
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.

It shows the charging status of the
battery when it is being charged by
the regenerative brakes (decelerat-
ing or driving on a downhill road).
The more electric energy is charged,
the lower the gauge level.State of Charge (SOC) gauge for
high voltage battery
The SOC gauge shows the charging
status of the high voltage battery.
"L (Low)" position on the indicator
indicates that there is not enough
energy in the high voltage battery. "H
(High)" position indicates that the
driving battery is fully charged.
When driving on highways or motor-
ways, make sure to check in advance
if the driving battery is charged
enough.When there are 4~5 gauge bars
(near the "L (Low)" area) on the SOC
gauge, the warning lamp turns ON to
alert you of the battery level.
When the warning lamp turns ON,
the vehicle can drive an additional
18~25 miles (30~40 km) depending
on the driving speed, heater/air con-
ditioner, weather, driving style, and
other factors. Charging is required.

Power Down Warning
Light
This warning light illuminates:
When the power is limited for the
safety of the electric vehicle.
The power is limited for the following
reasons.
- The high voltage battery level is
below a certain level or voltage is
decreasing
- The temperature of the motor or
high voltage battery is too high or
too low
- There is a problem with the cooling
system, or a failure that may inter-
rupt normal driving Do not accelerate or start the
vehicle suddenly when the
power down warning light is ON.
When the high voltage battery
level is low, the power down
warning illuminates and the
power output from the vehicle is
limited. Charge the battery
immediately since your vehicle
may not drive uphill or skid on a
slope with the warning light ON.

Charging System
Warning Light
(for 12-volt battery)
This warning light illuminates:
When the 12-volt battery level is
low or a failure occurs on the
charging system such as LDC.
If the warning light turns on while
driving, move the vehicle to a safe
location, turn off and turn on the
vehicle again, and check if the
warning light turns off. If the warn-
ing light remains on, have the vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Even if the warning light turns off,
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If you drive the vehicle while the

may be limited and the 12-volt bat-
tery may be discharged.
❈LDC : Low voltage DC-DC Converter.
Low Tire Pressure
Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
When the POWER button is in the
ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3
seconds and then goes off.
When one or more of your tires are
significantly underinflated (The
location of each underinflated tire
is displayed on the LCD display).
For more information, refer to
"Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)" in chapter 6.
This warning light remains ON
after blinking for approximately 60
seconds, or repeatedly blinks ON
and OFF in 3 second intervals:
When there is a malfunction with the
TPMS.
In this case, have your vehicle inspect-
ed by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
