Power steering
Power steering uses energy from the
engine to assist you in steering the vehi-
cle. If the engine is off or if the power
steering system becomes inoperative,
the vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power steer-
ing checked by an authorized Kia dealer.✽✽NOTICE
If the power steering drive belt breaks
or if the power steering pump malfunc-
tions, the steering effort will greatly
increase.
✽
✽ NOTICE
If the vehicle is parked for extended
periods outside in cold weather (below
-10°C(14°F)), the power steering may
require increased effort when the engine
is first started. This is caused by
increased fluid viscosity due to the cold
weather and does not indicate a mal-
function.
When this happens, increase the engine
RPM by depressing the accelerator until
the RPM reaches 1,500 rpm then release
or let the engine idle for two or three
minutes to warm up the fluid.
D130300AEN Tilt 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.
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel to the
extreme right or left for more than 5
seconds with the engine running.Holding the steering wheel for morethan 5 seconds in either positionmay cause damage to the power
steering pump.
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.

again for about 6~7 seconds until the
"CAL" appears and release the button.
5. Drive your vehicle in a complete circle for at least 2~3 times (either clock-
wise or counterclockwise) at less than5 mph (8 km/h) until the "CAL" disap-
pears, and the compass heading
appears. Then the calibration will be
complete. If the compass mirror does not recog-
nize the terrestrial magnetism correct-
ly depending on the external circum-
stances, the calibration procedure
may be delayed.
6. If the vehicle's compass headings become inaccurate again, repeat the
above steps. Setting the compass zone
This compass must be set to compen-
sate for the variation between true north
and magnetic north. To set variation:
1. Find your current location and vari-
ance zone number on the zone map.
2. Press and hold the COMPASS button (2) for about 3 seconds until the
"ZONE" appears in the display, and
release the button. Then the zone
number will appear in the display.
3. Press the button (2) repeatedly until the correct zone number for your loca-
tion appears in the display. 4. If the desired zone number is selected,
release the button (2). After about 3
seconds, the "ZONE" will disappear
and a compass direction will show in
the display.
5. If the new compass zone is set, per- form the "Calibration procedure".
✽✽ NOTICE
Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc. that is attached to the vehicle using a
magnet. Anything attached to the roof
of the vehicle with a magnet will effect
the compass operation.
If the compass deviates from the cor-
rect indication after repeating the
adjustment, have the compass
checked by an authorized dealer.
The compass may not indicate the
correct compass point in tunnels or
while driving up or down a steep hill.
(The compass returns to the correct
compass point when the vehicle moves
to an area where the geomagnetism is
stabilized.)
