switch is placed in the ON position and
goes off in approximately 3 seconds if
the system is operating normally.
If the ABS warning light remains on,
comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch isplaced to the ON position, this indi-
cates that there may be a malfunc-
tion with the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible. The nor-
mal braking system will still be oper-
ational, but without the assistance of
the anti-lock brake system.

If these two warning lights illuminate
at the same time while driving, your
vehicle may have a malfunction withthe ABS and EBD system.

authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
✽✽ NOTICE

warning light is on and stays on, the
speedometer or odometer/tripmeter
may not work. Also, the EPS warning
light may illuminate and the steering
effort may increase or decrease. In
this case, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
as soon as possible.
If both ABS and brake warning
lights are on and stay on, your
vehicle’s brake system will not
work normally. So you may expe-
rience an unexpected and dan-
gerous situation during sudden

This system assists you with steering
the vehicle.
If the engine is turned off or if the
EPS becomes inoperative, you may
still steer the vehicle, but it will
require increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the EPS
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽✽NOTICE
 The steering effort may be high immediately after placing the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics is complet-
ed, the steering wheel will return
to its normal condition.
 A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition
switch is placed in 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 you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, abnor-
mal noise may occur. If tempera-
ture rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.Tilt steering/Telescope steering

lights of the car behind you in night-
time or low light driving conditions.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror. The sensor detects the light
level around the vehicle, and auto-matically adjusts to control the head-
light glare from vehicles behind you.
Whenever the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse), the mirror will automat-
ically go to the brightest setting to
improve the driver’s view behind the
vehicle.

tion on. The mirror indicator light

Press the ON/OFF button to turn
the automatic dimming function off.
The mirror indicator light will turn
off.
The mirror defaults to the ON posi- tion whenever the ignition switch is
turned on.
