Features of your vehicle
Electric power steering (EPS)
The power steering uses an electric
motor to assist you in 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.
The motor driven power steering is
controlled by a power steering con-
trol unit which senses the steering
wheel torque and vehicle speed to
command the motor.
The steering becomes slightly heav-
ier as the vehicle’s speed increases
and becomes lighter as the vehicle’s
speed decreases for optimum steer-
ing control.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power
steering checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The following may occur during
normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not
illuminate when turning the igni-
tion to the ON position.
• The steering gets heavy immedi-
ately after turning the ignition
switch on. This happens as the sys-
tem performs the EPS system
diagnostics. When the diagnostics
are completed, the steering wheel
will return to its normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from
the EPS relay after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or
LOCK (OFF) position.
• A motor noise may be heard when
the vehicle is at a stop or at a low
driving speed.
• When the vehicle is stationary, if
you turn the steering wheel all the
way to the left or right repeatedly,
the steering wheel assist may tem-
porarily be reduced, not a system
malfunction. As time passes. The
steering wheel return to normal
operation.
(Continued)(Continued)
• When you operate the steering
wheel in very low temperatures,
system noise may occur. When the
temperature rises, the noise will dis-
appear. This is a normal condition.
• When the charging system warn-
ing light comes on or the system
voltage is low, the steering wheel
assist may be reduced.

tioned so that it is comfortable for
you to drive, while permitting you to
see the instrument panel warning
lights and gauges.

and height:
1. Pull down the lock-release lever
(1).
2. Adjust the steering wheel to the
desired angle (2) and height (3).
3. Pull up the lock-release lever to
lock the steering wheel in place.

WARNING
When programming the
HomeLink®Wireless Control
System, you may be operating
a garage door or gate operator.
Make sure that people and
objects are out of the way of
the moving door or gate to pre-
vent potential harm or damage.
Do not use HomeLink with
any garage door opener that
lacks the safety stop and
reverse feature as required by
federal safety standards. (This
includes any garage door
opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982.) A garage
door opener which cannot
detect an object, signaling the
door to stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without
these features increases risk
of serious injury or death. For
more information, call 1-800-
355-3515 or on the internet at
www.homelink.com.

When the door is open, or if the
engine is not started within 1 minute,
the tachometer pointer may move
slightly with the ignition in the ON
position with the engine OFF. This
movement is normal and will not
affect the accuracy of the tachometer
once the engine is running.
Engine temperature gauge
This gauge indicates the tempera-
ture of the engine coolant when the
ignition switch is ON.
Do not continue driving with an over-
heated engine. If your vehicle over-
heats, refer to “If the engine over-
heats” in section 6.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. The
engine coolant is under pres-
sure and could cause severe
burns. Wait until the engine is
cool before adding coolant to
the reservoir.
CAUTION
If the gauge moves beyond the
normal range area toward the “H”
position, it indicates overheating
that may damage the engine.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with-
in the tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine
damage.OMD040048

Features of your vehicle
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approx-
imate amount of fuel remaining in the
fuel tank.
The fuel tank capacity is
given in section 8.
The fuel gauge is
supplemented by a low fuel warning
light, which will illuminate when the
fuel tank is near empty.
On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge
may fluctuate or the low fuel warning
light may come on earlier than usual
due to the movement of fuel in the
tank.
Odometer (mi. or km)
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance the vehicle has been driven.
You will also find the odometer useful
to determine when periodic mainte-
nance should be performed.
WARNING - Fuel gauge
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addi-
tional fuel as soon as possible
after the warning light comes
on or when the gauge indicator
comes close to the E level.
CAUTION
Avoid driving with a extremely
low fuel level. Running out of
fuel could cause the engine to
misfire, damaging the catalytic
converter.
