If your vehicle is equipped with a sunroof,
you can slide or tilt your sunroof with the
sunroof control lever located on the over-
head console. The sunroof can only be opened, closed,
or tilted when the ignition switch is in theON position. In cold and wet climates, the sunroof
may not work properly due to freezing
conditions.
After the vehicle is washed or in a rain- storm, be sure to wipe off any water that
is on the sunroof before operating it.

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

mirrors
The outside rearview mirror is convex. Objects seen in the mir-
ror are closer than they appear.
Use your interior rearview mirror or direct observation to determine
the actual distance of following
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 move- ment of the mirror, do not force themirror for adjustment. To remove ice, use a deicer spray, or a sponge or
soft cloth with very warm water.
CAUTION
If the mirror is jammed with ice, do not adjust the mirror by force. Usean approved spray de-icer (not radi-
ator antifreeze) to release thefrozen mechanism or move the vehicle to a warm place and allowthe 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.

Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approxi- mate amount of fuel remaining in the fueltank.
✽✽
NOTICE
The fuel tank capacity is given in chapter 8.
The fuel gauge is supplemented by a
low fuel warning light, which will illu-
minate when the fuel tank is nearly
empty.
On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge
may fluctuate or the low fuel warning
light may come on earlier than usual
due to the movement of fuel in the tank.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
This gauge shows the temperature of the
engine coolant when the ignition switchis ON.
Do not continue driving with an overheat-
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to “If the engine overheats” in chapter 6.
WARNING - Fuel gauge
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addition-
al fuel as soon as possible after thewarning light comes on or when the
gauge indicator comes close to the
“O (Empty)” level.
CAUTION
Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire damag-ing the catalytic converter.
