Steering Wheel; Electric Power Steering (Eps) - Hyundai Ioniq EV 2020 Owner's Manual

STEERING WHEEL

Electric power steering (EPS)

The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the vehicle is off or if
the power steering system becomes
inoperative, the vehicle may still be
steered, 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, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE

System does not operate nor-
mally, the warning light (

and have the system checked as
soon as possible.
