Steering Wheel - Hyundai 2016 Azera Owner's Manual

STEERING WHEEL

Electronic power steering (EPS)
The power steering uses a motor to
assist you in steering the vehicle. If
the engine is off or if the power steer-
ing system becomes inoperative, the
vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
The motor driven power steering is
controlled by a power steering con-
trol unit which senses the steering
wheel torque and vehicle speed to
command the motor.
The steering becomes heavier as
the vehicle's speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle's
speed decreases for optimum steer-
ing control.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power
steering checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort is high immedi-
ately after the engine starts. This
happens as the system performs
the EPS system diagnostics. When
the diagnostics is completed, the
steering wheel will return to its
normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from
the EPS relay after the ignition
switch is changed to the ON or
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 temperature, abnor-
mal noise could occur. If tempera-
ture rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.

• When the vehicle is stationary, if
you turn the steering wheel all the
way to the left or right continuous-
ly, the steering wheel effort
increases. This is not a system mal-
function. As time passes, the steer-
ing wheel effort will return to its
normal condition.
If the Electronic Power Steering
System does not operate normally,
the warning light ( ) will illuminate
on the instrument cluster. The steer-
ing wheel may become difficult to
control or operate abnormally. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
