Steering Wheel
Motor Driven Power Steering
(MDPS)
The system assists you with steering the
vehicle. If the vehicle is turned off or if the
power steering system becomes
inoperative, you can still steer the vehicle,
but it requires increased steering effort.
If you notice any change in the effort
required to steer during normal vehicle
operation, contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
If the Motor Driven Power Steering
warning light and the message "Check
motor driven power steering"
illuminates on the instrument, you can
continue to steer the vehicle, but it
requires increased steering effort.
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and have the system inspected as soon as
possible.
Information
During normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high
immediately after pressing the Engine
Start/Stop button the ON position.
This happens as the system performs
the MDPS system diagnostics. When
the diagnostics are completed, the
steering wheel effort returns to its
normal condition.
• When the battery voltage is low, you
may have to use more effort to steer.
This is a temporary condition and
returns to normal condition after
charging the battery.
• A click noise may be heard from the
MDPS relay after the Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON or OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at a stop or driving at low
speeds.
• When you operate the steering wheel in
low temperatures, abnormal noise may
occur. When the temperature rises, the
noise disappears.
• When an error is detected from MDPS,
the steering effort assist function is not
activated. Instrument cluster warning
lights may illuminate or the steering
effort may be high. If these symptoms
occur, drive the vehicle to a safe
location as soon as possible. Have your
vehicle be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
Tilt/Telescopic steering
Adjust the steering wheel 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 up and
down to be in the locked position.
WARNING
Never adjust the steering wheel while
driving. This may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in a collision.
NOTICE
While adjusting the steering wheel
height, please do not push or pull it hard
since the fixture can be damaged.
