Hydraulic power steering Electric power steering
1. OVERVIEW
The electric power steering, EPS, does not have any belt-driven steering pump constantly running, so it
is lightweight and the motor consumes energy only when the steering wheel is turned by the driver, and
this leads to improvement in fuel efficiency. Also, the elimination of a belt-driven pump and its
accessories greatly simplifies manufacturing and maintenance. While offering these benefits, as it does
not contain any steering oil, the environment is not polluted both when the steering system is produced
and discarded.
In other words, the electric power steering (EPS) system uses the electric motor to assist the steering
force. It functions independently regardless of whether the engine is running or not, unlike the existing
hydraulic power steering.
The EPS system generates an assist steering force variably depending on the driving conditions by
controlling the motor's operation, based on the input signals from the sensors such as torque sensor and
angle sensor. In turn, the EPS receives the torque signal by the driver's movements of the steering
wheel, as well as the vehicle speed, and uses the motor to determine the assist torque. The EPS
controls the motor for this. Another features of EPS are fail-safe function, diagnosis function,
communication function between units and interface function for external diagnostic device.
The EPS system components such as the torque sensor, steering angle sensor, fail-safe relay, etc. are
located in the steering column and EPS unit assembly.
Advantages: ▶
Assurance of improved steering
Provides optimal steering force according to the
vehicle speed
Enhanced steering stability while driving at high
speed (1)
-
-Reduced fuel consumption
Consumes energy only when steering wheel
is turned (improved by 3 to 5%)
Energy saving (reduced by 85% compared
with hydraulic power steering)
Reduced number of parts: Elimination of
steering pump, hydraulic hose, pump pulley,
oil reservoir, belt, bracket, etc. (2)

2. OPERATION
When the driver turns the steering wheel, a torque is generated and the torque sensor and the steering
angle sensor in the EPS system detect the rotation of the steering column to run the electric motor. At
this time, the worm gear connected to the motor drives the helical gear mounted to the steering column
to generate the assist torque for the steering column. This allows the driver to operate the steering wheel
easier.Output torque = 1) Steering force (manual torque) + 2) Assist torque

When the vehicle is driven on a road surface covered with water at high speed, tires do not contact with
the road surface but rotate floating on a thin film of water.
It causes brake failure, lower traction force and losing the steering performance.
To prevent this, increase the tire inflation pressure, use tires with leaf shape tread which is not worn.
However, it is a best measure to drive slowly.

C. General Warnings for Air Bag
Do not check the circuits with a circuit tester. Do not attempt to modify any air bag component
including the steering wheel, air bag mountings and related wirings.
Do not subject any air bag component, such as the steering wheel, air bag mountings, wirings, to
impacts. You might get severely injured by sudden deployment of the air bag.
As the air bag/seat belt pretensioner parts are very hot after being deployed. Allow them to cool
down sufficiently before touching them.
The deployed air bag/seat belt pretensioner cannot deploy again. It will work when an additional
impact is applied. The components of the deployed air bag/seat belt pretensioner are non-reusable
parts. Therefore, remove or replace them as a unit.
The air bag and seat belt pretensioner systems contain explosive charges, so handle carefully when
disposing or replacing them.
Incorrect inspection can result in serious injuries or malfunctions in the air bag and seat belt
pretensioner system.
The air bag warning lamp is illuminated for 3 to 7 sec. after the engine is started to check the system.
Drive the vehicle after this warning lamp is turned off. If this warning lamp stays ON, the system may
be defective. Have the air bag system checked immediately by Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong
Authorized Service Center. -

As the air bag system is very hot after being deployed, allow at least 30 minutes for the system to cool
down sufficiently before touching it. It can cause serious burns.
When an occupant fastens the seat belt in an unstable or inclined posture, the air bag system cannot
protect the occupant properly. Moreover, the occupant can be injured by the air bag.
Children and infants should ride in a rear seat. Seating in the passenger's seat with carrying a child or
infant is strictly prohibited. An infant or a child could be severely injured by air bag deployed.
A child restraint system must be placed in a rear seat.
A child restraint system must not be placed in the passenger's seat. An infant or a child could be
severely injured by the air bag deployment.
Do not cover, place any object or affix any stickers on the air bag inflation location.
Do not cover the front seat. The side air bag will not work properly.
Never put your arms around the front seat from behind, lean on the front seatback, or put your arms
out of the window. You can severely injured when the side air bag deploys.
Never lean on the door since it becomes very dangerous when the side air bag deploys.
Do not put any object such as an umbrella or bags between the door and side air bag mounting.
The side air bag deploys when there is a severe side collision.
Do not put any object such as an umbrella or bags between the door and side air bag mounting.
Do not slam the front door to close it. The side air bag may deploy unexpectedly.
Do not move your seat too close to the steering wheel or dashboard. Being too close to the steering
wheel or instrument panel during the air bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death
Move back as far as practical to allow the air bag room to inflate when driving.
Do not incline toward the steering wheel or hold the steering wheel with your hands crossed. Never
allow the front passenger to put hands or feet on the dash board. It can cause severe injures when
the air bag inflates.
Never put your feet on the dash board. You can severely injured when the air bag inflates.
It is normal that a loud noise, dust and smoke occur when the air bag and seat belt pretensioner
operate.
A large quantity of non-toxic gas is generated when the air bag or seat belt pretensioner deploys. If
these airborne particles irritate your skin, eyes, nose, or throat, rinse the area with cool water. If the
irritation continues, see your doctor.
The windshield glass may be broken when the passenger air bag deploys.
The air bag is a unit to save an occupant's life from sudden accident and it inflates at a very fast speed
by gas with high temperature, which might cause injury, such as an abrasion, bruise and burn
depending on the accident conditions.
A loud noise and non-toxic smoke-like particles are generated when air bags deploy. -
