The Remote smart parking assist (RSPA)
system helps the drivers park their
vehicle by using sensors to measure
parking spaces and control the steering
wheel, gear shift and vehicle speed to
semi-automatically park the vehicle.
With the smart key, the driver can move
the vehicle forward or backward using
the rearward /forward buttons (5, 6) on
the smart key.
For information, refer to “Remote smart

Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)
System
The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) system
is provided to help prevent exiting the
vehicle with the rear passenger left in the
vehicle. When you open the front door
after opening and closing the rear door
and turning off the engine, the “Check
rear seats” warning message appears on
the cluster.
„„Cluster
ODN8A059339
„„Steering wheel
ODN8A059134
CAUTION
• The system does not actually detect
objects or people in the rear seat. By
using a rear door opened and closed
history, the system indicates that
there may be something in the rear
seat.
• The rear door opened and closed
history can be initialized only when
you turn off the engine normally, get
off the vehicle and lock the door with
the remote control key. Therefore,
there could be alarms even though
the back doors are locked.
ex) When you get in and drive your vehicle without locking the doors
after the alarm sounds, there could
be the alarm sounds if you turn off
the engine and open the driver’s seat
door.
WARNING
It does not use the actual sensors but it
provides the alarm sounds by checking
the rear door lock/unlock status as a
reminder.

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 a 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
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
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.
