2015 Hyundai Veloster Owner’s Manual

The tiny hatchback that perfectly combines cutting-edge design with dynamic performance is the 2015 Hyundai Veloster.

The Veloster oozes sportiness while providing functionality thanks to its aerodynamic design, driver-focused cabin, and available modern technologies. A fun driving experience is guaranteed by its selection of engines, one of which is turbocharged, while safety features and personalization possibilities highlight its enticing package among compact cars.

STEERING WHEEL

Electric 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 steering sys-tem becomes inoperative, the vehicle may still be steered, but it will require increased steering effort. The motor driven power steering is con-trolled by a power steering control unit which senses the steering wheel torque and vehicle speed to command the motor. The steering effort increases as the vehi-cle’s speed increases and the effort decreases as the vehicle’s speed decreases for optimum steering control. Should you notice any change in the effort required to steer during normal vehicle operation, have the power steer-ing checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

CAUTION

• If the Electric Power Steering System does not operate normal-ly, the warning light will illuminate on the instrument cluster. The steering wheel may become diffi-cult to control or operate abnor-mally. Take your vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have the vehicle checked as soon as possible.
• When you operate the steering wheel in low temperatures, an abnormal noise could occur. If temperature rises, the noise will disappear. This is a normal condi-tion.
• When the vehicle is stationary, if you turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or right repeatedly, the steering wheel assist may temporarily be reduced, not a system malfunction. As time passes. The steering wheel return to normal operation.

NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur dur-ing normal vehicle operation:

• The EPS warning light does not illu-minate when turning the ignition to the ON position.
• The steering effort increases after turning the ignition switch on. This happens as the system performs the EPS system diagnostics. When the diagnostics is completed, the steering wheel will return to its normal condi-tion.
• A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition switch is turned to the ON or LOCK (OFF) position.
• A motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving speed.
• If the Electric Power Steering System does not operate normally, the warn-ing light will illuminate on the instrument cluster. The steering 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.
• When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, abnormal noise could occur. If the temperature rises, the noise will disappear. This is a normal condition.
• When the charging system warning light comes on or the voltage is low (When the alternator (or battery) does not operate normally or it malfunctions), the steering effort may increase and may become difficult to control normal.

Tilt steering / Tilt and telescope steering
Tilt steering allows you to adjust the steering wheel before you drive. You can also raise it to give your legs more room when you exit and enter the vehicle. The steering wheel should be positioned so that it is comfortable for you to drive, while permitting you to see the instru-ment panel warning lights and gauges.

WARNING

• Never adjust the angle of the steering wheel while driving. You may lose steering control and cause severe personal injury, death or accidents.
• After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and down to be certain it is locked in position.

To change the steering wheel angle, pull down the lock release lever (1), adjust the steering wheel to the desired angle (2) (if equipped) and height (3), then pull up the lock-release lever to lock the steering wheel in place. Be sure to adjust the steer-ing wheel to the desired position before driving.

Heated steering wheel (if equipped)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, pressing the heated steering wheel button warms the steering wheel. The indicator on the button will illuminate. To turn the steering wheel off, press the button once again. The indicator on the button will turn off. It will turn off automatically approximate-ly 30 minutes after the heated steering wheel is turned on. If you turn on the ignition again after turn off your engine in half an hour (after oper-ating heater button), the heating system will be maintained in its ‘on’ condition.

CAUTION

• Do not install any grip to operate the steering wheel. This causes damage to the heated steering wheel system.
• When cleaning the heated steer-ing wheel, do not use an organic solvent such as paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline. Doing so may damage the sur-face of the steering wheel.
• If the surface of the steering wheel is damaged by a sharp object, damage to the heated steering wheel components could occur.

Horn

To sound the horn, press the horn sym-bol on your steering wheel. Check the horn regularly to be sure it operates properly.

NOTICE
To sound the horn, press the area indi-cated by the horn symbol on your steer-ing wheel (see illustration). The horn will operate only when this area is pressed.

CAUTION
Do not strike the horn severely to operate it, or hit it with your fist. Do not press on the horn with a sharp-pointed object.

Outside rearview mirror
Be sure to adjust mirror angles before driving. Your vehicle is equipped with both left-hand and right-hand outside rearview mirrors. The mirrors can be adjusted remotely with the remote switch. The mir-ror heads can be folded back to prevent damage during an automatic car wash or when passing in a narrow street.

WARNING – Rearview mirrors

• The right outside rearview mirror is convex. Objects seen in the mirror are closer than they appear.
• Use your interior rearview mirror or direct observation to deter-mine the actual distance of fol-lowing vehicles when changing lanes.

CAUTION
Do not scrape ice off the mirror face; this may damage the surface of the glass. If ice should restrict movement of the mirror, do not force the mirror for adjustment. To remove ice, use a deicer spray, or a sponge or soft cloth with warm water.

CAUTION
If the mirror is jammed with ice, do not adjust the mirror by force. Use an approved spray de-icer (not radi-ator antifreeze) to release the frozen mechanism or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.

WARNING
Do not adjust or fold the outside rearview mirrors while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control, and an accident which could cause death, serious injury or property damage.

Electric type
The electric remote control mirror switch allows you to adjust the position of the left and right outside rearview mirrors. To adjust the position of either mirror, the ignition switch should be in the ACC or ON position, or engine is running. Push the switch (1) to R or L to select the right side mirror or the left side mirror, then press a corresponding point on the mirror adjustment control to position the select-ed mirror up, down, left or right. After the adjustment, put the switch into the neutral (center) position to prevent inadvertent adjustment.

CAUTION

• The mirrors stop moving when they reach the maximum adjust-ing angles, but the motor continues to operate while the switch is pressed. Do not press the switch longer than necessary; the motor may be damaged.
• Do not attempt to adjust the out-side rearview mirror by hand. Doing so may damage the mirror.

Folding the outside rearview mirror
To fold outside rearview mirror, grasp the housing of mirror and then fold it toward the rear of the vehicle.

Blind zone mirror (BZM)
The blind zone mirror (BZM) is supple-mental mirror to reduce a driver’s blind spot that will show the rear side territory of your vehicle. The blind spot mirror is equipped with the driver’s outside rearview mirror.

WARNING 

• Always check the road condition while driving for unexpected situ-ations even though the vehicle is equipped with a blind spot mirror.
• The blind spot mirror is a device made for convenience. Do not solely rely on the mirror but always pay attention to drive safely.
