power supply or charging the battery, it
may take time to operate due to remote
renewal of security information. When you

The engine can be turned on if the
registered smartphone or card key is
placed on the interior authentication
pad (wireless charger). Do not leave
unsupervised children or people who
are not aware of the system since it
can result in serious injury or death.
Always have the registered digital key
(smartphone) or card key with you to

STEERING WHEEL
Electric Power Steering (EPS)
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.
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, have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
CAUTION

[ If the Electric Power Steering System
does not operate normally, the
warning light (
) 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 and have the system checked
as soon as possible.

[ When an abnormality is detected
in the electric power steering
system, to prevent an accident, the
steering assist function may become
inoperative. 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
area.
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 effort will return to its normal
condition.

[ When the battery voltage is low, you
may 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 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 the
EPS, the steering effort assist function
may become inoperative 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.

4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the
illustration. First connect one jumper
cable to the red, positive (+) jumper
terminal of your vehicle (1).
5. Connect the other end of the jumper cable to the red, positive (+) battery/
jumper terminal of the assisting
vehicle (2).
6. Connect the second jumper cable to the black, negative (-) battery/jumper
terminal of the assisting vehicle (3).
7. Connect the other end of the second jumper cable to the black, negative (-)
chassis ground of your vehicle (4).
8. Do not allow the jumper cables to contact anything except the correct
battery or jumper terminals or the
correct ground. Do not lean over the
battery when making connections.
WARNING
Do not connect the jumper cable to
the negative (-) jumper terminal of the
discharged battery. A spark could cause
the battery to explode and lead to a
personal injury or vehicle damage. 9. Operate your vehicle for at least
30 minutes of driving or at least
60 minutes of engine running at
idle before shutting off the engine.
Without sufficient time to charge
the battery the vehicle will reoccur
another no start. You can also visit
