Features of your vehicle
Electric power steering
Power steering uses the 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 the power steering con-
trol unit which senses the steering
wheel torque and vehicle speed to
command the motor.
The steering wheel becomes heavier
as the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s
speed decreases for better control of
the steering wheel.
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.
✽ ✽NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort is high immedi-
ately after turning the ignition
switch on. This happens as the sys-
tem performs the EPS system
diagnostics. When the diagnostics
is 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 position.
• 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 continu-
ously when the vehicle is not in
motion. However, after a few min-
utes, it will return to its normal
conditions.
• When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, abnor-
mal noise could occur. If tempera-
ture rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
If the EPS system does not
operate normally, the warninglight will illuminate on theinstrument cluster. The steeringwheel may become difficult tocontrol or operate abnormally.Take your vehicle to an author-ized Kia dealer and have thevehicle checked as soon aspossible.

driver selectable steering mode will

With smart key system
If any of the following occurs in a
vehicle equipped with the smart key,
the immobilizer indicator illuminates,
blinks or goes off.
When the smart key is in the vehicle, if the ENGINE START/STOP button
is in the ACC or ON position, the
indicator will illuminate for approxi-
mately 30 seconds to indicate that
you are able to start the engine.
However, when the smart key is not
in the vehicle, if the ENGINE
START/STOP button is pressed, the
indicator will blink for a few seconds
to indicate that you are not be able to
start the engine.
If the indicator illuminates only for 2 seconds and goes out when the

key in the vehicle, have the system
checked by an authorized Kia dealer. When the battery is weak, if the
