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.
