STEERING WHEEL
MDPS (Motor Driven Power
Steering)
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.
CAUTION
If MDPS (Motor Driven Power Steering)
does not operate normally, the
warning light and the message ‘Check
motor driven power steering’ will
illuminate on the instrument cluster.
You may steer the vehicle, but it will
require increased steering efforts. Take
your vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer or to a service station and have
the system checked as soon as possible.
Information
The following symptoms may occur during
normal vehicle operation:
[ The steering effort may be high
immediately after pressing the ignition
switch or Engine Start/Stop button to
the ON position.
This happens as the system performs
the MDPS system diagnostics. When
the diagnostics are completed, the
steering wheel effort 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
MDPS relay after the ignition switch or
Engine Start/Stop button 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 normal
condition.
[ When an error is detected from MDPS,
the steering effort assist function will
not be activated in order to prevent
fatal accidents. Instrument cluster
warning lights may be on or the
steering effort may be high. If these
symptoms occur, drive the vehicle to
a safe area as soon as it is safe to do
so. Have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.

Tilt/Telescopic Steering
When adjusting the steering wheel to a
comfortable position, adjust the steering
wheel so that 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.
WARNING
NEVER adjust the steering wheel while
driving. This may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
Manual adjustment
B0131KO01
To adjust the steering wheel angle and
height:
1. Pull down the lock-release lever M.
2. Adjust the steering wheel to the desired angle N and distance
forward/back O.
3. Pull up the lock-release lever to lock the steering wheel in place.
Information
Sometimes the lock release lever may not
engage completely. This may occur when
the gears of the locking mechanism do not
completely mesh. If this occurs, pull down
on the lock-release lever, readjust the
steering wheel again, and then pull back
up on the release lever to lock the steering
wheel in place.

Information
