STEERING WHEEL
Electronic power steering
Power steering uses the motor to assist
you in steering the vehicle. 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.
The electronic power steering is con-
trolled by the power steering control unit
which senses the steering wheel torque
and vehicle speed to command the
motor.
The steering effort becomes heavier as
the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s speed
decreases for better control of the steer- ing wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend that
the system be checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.✽NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not illu- minate.
• The steering effort is high immediate-
ly 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 posi-
tion.
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving
speed.
• The steering effort increases if the
steering wheel is rotated continuously
when the vehicle is not in motion.
However, after a few minutes, it will
return to its normal conditions. (Continued)(Continued)
• If an error is detected in the electric
power steering system, EPS will stop
assisting driver in steering the vehicle to
prevent accidents and the warning light
on the cluster will illuminate or blink.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer as
soon as possible.
• When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, 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 continuously, the
steering wheel becomes heavier from
the end. This is not a system malfunc-
tion but for your safety. As time pass-
es, the steering wheel returns to its
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 malfunc-
tions), the steering wheel may get
heavy and become difficult to control
operate abnormally.

Tilt and telescopic steering
A tilt and telescopic steering wheel
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.
To change the steering wheel angle, pull
down the lock release lever (1), adjust the
steering wheel to the desired angle (2)
and height (3), then pull up the lock-
release lever to lock the steering wheel in
place. Be sure to adjust the steering wheel
to the desired position before driving.Heated steering wheel (if equipped)
With the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion, pressing the heated steering wheel
button warms the steering wheel.
✽NOTICE
The heated steering wheel will turn off
automatically approximately 30 minutes
after the heated steering wheel is turned
on.
WARNING
• Never adjust the angle and height of steering wheel while driving.
You may lose your steering con-
trol and cause severe personal
injury or accidents.
• After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and down to be
certain it is locked in position.OJD042031OJD042083

The sport mode is usually used when
driving in highway.
CAUTION
• For your safety, if you press thesteering mode button while oper-ating the steering wheel, the LCD display will change, but the steer-ing effort will not change immedi-
