SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and so there are no parts you
can safely service by yourself. If the
SRS air bag warning light does not
illuminate when you turn the ignition
ON, or if it continuously remains on,
we recommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Improper handling of the SRS sys-
tem may result in serious personal
injury.WARNING
• Modification to SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS per-
formance and lead to possible
injury.
• For cleaning the air bag pad
covers, use only a soft, dry
cloth or one which has been
moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could
adversely affect the air bag
covers and proper deploy-
ment of the system.
• No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the
front passenger's panel above
the glove box, because any
such object could cause harm
if the vehicle is in a crash
severe enough to cause the
air bags to inflate.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• If the air bags inflate, they
must be replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring, or other
components of the SRS sys-
tem. Doing so could result in
injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the air bags or by ren-
dering the SRS inoperative.
• If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or
if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed.
An authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er knows these precautions
and can give you the neces-
sary information. Failure to
follow these precautions and
procedures could increase
the risk of personal injury.
• If your car was flooded and
has soaked carpeting or water
on the flooring, you shouldn't
try to start the engine; have
the car towed to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

A driver position memory system is
provided to store and recall the driv-
er seat, outside rearview mirrors,
steering wheel position and HUD
(Head-Up Display) height with a sim-
ple button operation. By saving the
desired positions into the system
memory, different drivers can reposi-
tion the driver seat, outside rearview
mirrors, steering wheel and HUD
(Head-Up Display) height based
upon their driving preference. If the
battery is disconnected, the position
memory will be lost and the driving
positions should be restored in the
system.
✽NOTICE
If the memory system does not oper-
ate normally, have the driver posi-
tion memory system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

STEERING WHEEL
Power steering
Power steering uses energy from the
engine 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.
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.
Electronic Hydraulic Power
Steering (EHPS)
EHPS uses an electromotor to assist
you in steering the vehicle. It senses
the vehicle speed and road condition.
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.
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.
✽NOTICE
If the power steering drive belt
breaks or if the power steering
pump malfunctions, the steering
effort will greatly increase.
✽NOTICE
If the vehicle is parked for extended
periods outside in cold weather
(below -10°C/14°F), the power steer-
ing may require increased effort
when the engine is first started. This
is caused by increased fluid viscosity
due to the cold weather and does not
indicate a malfunction.
When this happens, increase the
engine RPM by depressing accelera-
tor until the RPM reaches 1,500 rpm
then release or let the engine idle for
two or three minutes to warm up the
fluid.
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel
against a stop (extreme right or
left turn) for more than 5 sec-
onds with the engine running.
Holding the steering wheel for
more than 5 seconds in either
position may cause damage to
the power steering pump.

Features of your vehicle
Tilt/Telescopic steering
Tilt/Telescopic steering allows you to
adjust the steering wheel before you
drive. You can also raise it to give
your legs more room when you exit
and enter the vehicle.
The steering wheel should be posi-
tioned so that it is comfortable for
you to drive, while permitting you to
see the instrument panel warning
lights and gauges.
Electric type
Adjust the steering wheel angle (2)
and position (3) with the switch (1).
Never adjust the position of the
steering wheel while driving.
Heated steering wheel
(if equipped)
With the engine start/stop button in
the ON position, pressing the heated
steering wheel button warms the
steering wheel. The indicator on the
button is illuminated.
To turn the heated steering wheel off,
press the button once again. The
indicator on the button is turned off.
Approximately 30 munities after the
heated steering wheel is turned on, it
will be turned off automatically.WARNING
• Never adjust the angle of the
steering wheel while driving.
You may lose steering control
and cause severe personal
injury, death or accidents.
• After adjusting, push the
steering wheel both up and
down to be certain it is locked
in position.

3. Press the button until the new zone
number appears in the display.
After you stop pressing the button
in, the display will show a compass
direction within a few seconds.
4. Changing Mirror Angle setting
(if equipped):
Due to mirror positions being angled
towards the driver, the compass mir-
ror can also compensate for drivers
seated on the Left Hand side of the
vehicle (steering wheel on the LH
side of the vehicle) or Right Hand
side of the vehicle (steering wheel on
the RH side of the vehicle).To adjust the Left Hand, “L” or Right
Hand, “R”, setting:
1. Press and hold the button for more
than 12 seconds.
2. Release then press the button to
toggle between “L” and “R”.
✽NOTICE
This procedure also causes the com-
pass to be de-calibrated.
3. To re-calibrate the compass, drive
the vehicle in 2 complete circles at
less than 8km/h (5mph).
CAUTION
1.Do not install the ski rack,
antenna, etc. which are
attached to the vehicle by
means of a magnet. They affect
the operation of the compass.
2.If the compass deviates from
the correct indication soon
after repeated adjustment, we
recommend that the system
be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
3.The compass may not indicate
the correct compass point in
tunnels or while driving up or
down a steep hill.
(The compass returns to the
correct compass point when
the vehicle moves to an area
where the geomagnetism is
stabilized.)
4.When cleaning the mirror, use
a paper towel or similar materi-
al dampened with glass clean-
er. Do not spray glass cleaner
directly on the mirror as that
may cause the liquid cleaner to
enter the mirror housing.
