Features of your vehicle
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 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
Kia dealer.
✽ ✽NOTICEThe following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not
illuminate.
• The steering gets heavy immedi- ately after turning the ignition
switch on. This happens as the sys-
tem performs the EPS system
diagnostics. When the diagnostics
are 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 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 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
Kia dealer and have the vehicle
checked as soon as possible. (Continued)
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
 If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate nor-mally, the warning light willilluminate on the instrumentcluster. The steering wheelmay require increased steer-ing effort. Take your vehicle toan authorized Kia dealer andhave the vehicle checked assoon as possible.
 When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature,noise may occur. If temperaturerises, the noise will likely disap-pear. This is a normal condition.
 When the vehicle is stationary, when the steering wheel isturned all the way to the left orright continuously, the steer-ing wheel becomes harder toturn. The power assist is limit-ed to protect the motor fromoverheating.
As time passes, the steeringwheel return to its normalcondition.
