Information
An inappropriately disposed
battery can be harmful to
the environment and human
health. Dispose of the battery
according to your local law(s) or
regulations.
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system helps protect
your vehicle from theft. If an improperly
coded key (or other device) is used, the
engine’s fuel system is disabled.
When the ignition switch is turned to
ON position (or the Engine Start/Stop
button is pressed to the ON position),
the immobilizer system indicator should
come on briefly, then go off. If the
indicator starts to blink, the system does
not recognize the coding of the key.
Turn the ignition switch to the Lock
position, then turn the ignition switch to
the ON position again. (For remote key)
Press the Engine Start/Stop button to
the OFF position, then press the Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON position
again. (For smart key)
The system may not recognize your
key’s coding if another immobilizer
key or other metal object (for example,
key chain) is near the key. The engine
may not start because the metal may
interrupt the transponder signal from
transmitting normally.
If the system repeatedly does not
recognize the coding of the key, it is
recommended that you contact your
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it. Electrical
problems could result that may make
your vehicle inoperable.
WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobilizer password is a customer
unique password and should be kept
confidential.
NOTICE
The transponder in your key is an
important part of the immobilizer
system. It is designed to give years
of trouble-free service, however you
should avoid exposure to moisture,
static electricity and rough handling.
Immobilizer system malfunction could
occur.

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

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.
