Theft-alarm system (For Brazil)
Intrusion/tilt sensor ON/OFF con-
dition (For Brazil, if equipped)
The intrusion/tilt sensor detects
movement inside the vehicle and
inclination of the vehicle after locking.
•To cancel the sensor operation,
press the sensor ON/OFF button
when the system is in the
"Disarmed" stage and the ignition
switch or Engine Star t/Stop button
is in the OFF position. The button
light will turn on to indicate that the
sensor is deactivated.
•If you press the button again or turn
the ignition switch or Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON position,
the sensor will be activated again.
If the system is armed when the sen-
sor is in the OFF status, the intru-
sion/tilt sensor will not operate. But,
the alarm will be activated when the
system meets the “intrusion/tilt sen-
sor off condition” of “Theft alarm”
stage. Refer to the follow page.
Deactivate the intrusion/tilt sensor
if there are any chances the vehicle
tilts by the outward influences.
For example,
-When the vehicle is transported by
train, boat or trailer.
-When the vehicle is parked at a
parking tower.
Otherwise, the horn may sound inad-
ver tently.
Information
•Make sure all windows are close
while the sensor operates. If not, the
sensor detects the inadvertent move-
ment inside the vehicle (for example,
blowing a wind or entering a butter-
fly) and it makes the horn sounds.
• If boxes are piled high in the vehicle,
the sensor may not detect the move-
ment behind the boxes. Also the
boxes may drop and it makes the
horn sounds.
• If the sensor is stained with foreign
matter such as cosmetics, spray type
air freshener, or spray type window
cleaner, the sensor may not operate

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.
If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normal-
ly, the warning light ( ) will illu-
minate on the instrument cluster.
The steering wheel may become
difficult to control or operate. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the sys-
tem checked as soon as possible.
Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
•The steering effort may be high
immediately after placing the igni-
tion switch or the Engine Start/Stop
button in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics is completed,
the steering wheel will return to its
normal condition.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Aclick noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the ignition switch is
placed to the ON or LOCK/OFF
position (Without Smart key system).
Aclick noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON or OFF position.
(With Smart key system)
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at 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 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 con-
dition.

mirror. The sensor detects the light
level around the vehicle, and auto-
matically adjusts to control the head-
lamp glare from vehicles behind you.
