Operation
僅 Adjust the steering wheel angle (2)

WARNING
僅 Never adjust the angle and height of
the steering wheel while driving. You
may lose steering control and cause
severe personal injury, death or acci -
dents.
僅 After adjusting, push the steering
wheel both up and down to be certain
it is locked in position.
僅 If the steering wheel becomes too
warm, turn the system off. The heated
steering wheel may cause burns even
at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time.
CAUTION
僅 Do not install any type of grip cover
on the steering wheel, as it may
impair the function of the heated
steering wheel system.
僅 When cleaning the heated steering
wheel, do not use an organic solvent
such as paint thinner, benzene, alco -
hol or gasoline. Doing so may damage
the surface of the steering wheel.
僅 If the surface of the steering wheel is
damaged by a sharp object, damage
to the heated steering wheel compo -
nents could occur.
僅 Do not strike the horn severely to
operate it, or hit it with your fist.
僅 When cleaning the steering wheel, do
not use an organic solvent such as
thinner, benzene, alcohol and gaso -
line. Doing so may damage the steer -
ing wheel.
NOTICE
僅 Be sure to adjust the steering wheel to
the desired position before driving.
僅 After adjustment, sometimes the lock-
release lever may not lock the steer -
ing wheel. It is not a malfunction. This
occurs when two gears engage. In this
case, adjust the steering wheel again
and then lock the steering wheel.
僅 The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
- The EPS warning light does not
appear.
- The steering effort is high immedi -
ately after pressing the EV button
to ON position. This happens as the
EPS system performs the diagnos -
tics. When the diagnostics is com -
pleted, the steering effort will
return to its normal condition.
- A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after EV button is in ON
position.
