Convenience Features
Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering the 
vehicle. If the vehicle is turned off or 
if the power steering system 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 system 
checked by an authorized retailer of 
Genesis Branded products.
 CAUTION
If Motor Driven Power Steering does not 
operate normally, the 
 warning light 
and the message ‘Check motor driven 
power steering’ will illuminate on the 
instrument cluster. You may steer the 
vehicle, but it will require increased 
steering efforts. Take the vehicle to an 
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products and have the system checked 
as soon as possible.
