Convenient features of your vehicle
If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normally,
the warning light (
) will illumi-
nate on the instrument cluster. You
may steer the vehicle, but it will
require increased steering efforts.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the sys-
tem checked as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Easy Access Function
When exiting the vehicle the driver’s seat
will move rearward when the engine is
turned off and the shift lever in P (Park).
When entering the vehicle the driver’s
seat will move forward when the ignition
switch is placed to the ACC position.
You can activate or deactivate the Easy
Access Function from the User Settings
Mode on the LCD display.
For more information, refer to the
"LCD Display" section in this chapter.
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 inoper-
ative, 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 dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high immedi-
ately after placing the ignition switch in
the ON position.
This happens as the system performs the
EPS system diagnostics. When the diag-
nostics is completed, the steering wheel
will return to its normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the ignition switch is in
the ON or 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 illuminate on the
instrument cluster and the steering
efforts may be increased. When the fol-
lowing symptoms occur, immediately
drive the vehicle to a safe area and
check it.
