STEERING WHEEL
Electric power steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering the
vehicle. If the engine is off or if the power
steering system becomes inoperative,
the vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
Also, the steering effort becomes heavier
as the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s speed
decreases for better control of the
steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend that
the system be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
• If the Electric Power Steering System
does not operate normally, the
warning light ( ) will illuminate
or blink on the instrument cluster.
The steering wheel may become
difficult to control or operate. We
recommend to contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer to have the system
checked as soon as possible.
• When abnormality is detected in
the electric power steering system,
to prevent a deadly accident, the
steering assist function will stop. At
this time, the warning light turns on
or blinks on the cluster. The steering
wheel may become difficult to
control or operate. Have your vehicle
checked immediately, after moving
the vehicle to a safe zone.
Information
The following symptoms may occur during
normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high
immediately after placing the ignition
switch in the ON position.
This happens as the system performs
the EPS system diagnostics. When
the diagnostics are 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 ignition switch
is placed 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 the vehicle is stationary, if you
turn the steering wheel all the way
to the left or right continuously, the
steering wheel effort increases. This
is not a system malfunction. As time
passes, the steering wheel effort will
return to its normal condition.
