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 
your vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI 
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.

Opening the Hood
B0152KO01
1.  Park the vehicle and set the parking  brake.
2.  Pull the release lever to unlatch the  hood. The hood should pop open 
slightly.
B0152KO02
3.  Go to the front of the vehicle, raise the hood slightly, push up the secondary 
latch  M inside of the hood center and 
lift the hood  N.
After the hood has been lifted halfway, 
it will raise completely by itself.
Closing the Hood
1.  Before closing the hood, check in and around the engine compartment to 
ensure the following:
 
- Any tools or other loose objects 
are removed from the engine room 
area or hood opening area
 
- All gloves, rags, or other 
combustible material is removed 
from the engine compartment
 
- All filler caps are tightly and 
correctly installed
2.  Lower the hood halfway (lifted  approximately 12 in. (30 cm) from the 
closed position) and push down to 
securely lock in place. Then double 
check to be sure the hood is secure. 
If the hood can be raised slightly, it is 
not securely locked. Open it again and 
close it with more force.
 WARNING
[ Before closing the hood, ensure 
all obstructions are removed from 
around the hood opening.
[  Always double check to be sure that 
the hood is firmly latched before 
driving away. Check there is no 
hood open warning light or message 
displayed on the instrument cluster. 
Driving with the hood opened may 
cause a total loss of visibility, which 
might result in an accident.
[  Do not move the vehicle with the 
hood in the raised position, as vision 
is obstructed, which might result in 
an accident, and the hood could fall 
or be damaged.
