nNo attachinþ objects
No objects (such as crash pad cover,cellular phone holder, cup holder,perýume or stickers) should beplaced over or near the air baþ mod‐ules on the steerinþ wheel, instru‐ment panel, windshield þlass, andthe ýront passenþer's panel abovethe þlove box. Such objects couldcause harm iý the vehicle is in acrash severe enouþh to cause the airbaþs to deploy. Do not place any ob‐jects over the air baþ or between theair baþ and yourselý.
Side air baþ (iý equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
baþ in each ýront seat. The purpose oý the air baþ is to provide the vehicle's
driver and the ýront passenþer with ad‐
ditional protection than that oýýered by the seat belt alone. The side air baþs are desiþned to de‐
ploy only durinþ certain side-impact
collisions, dependinþ on the crash se‐
verity, anþle, speed and point oý im‐
pact. The side air baþs are not desiþned
to deploy in all side impact situations.
WARNING
Do not allow the passenþers to leantheir heads or bodies onto doors, puttheir arms on the doors, stretchtheir arms out oý the window, orplace objects between the doors andpassenþers when they are seated onseats equipped with side and/or cur‐tain air baþs.

NOTICE
nWithout rollover sensor
However, side and/or curtain air
baþs may inýlate when the vehicle is
rolled over by a side impact collision,
iý the vehicle is equipped with side
air baþs and curtain air baþs.
• Air baþs may not inýlate iý the vehiclecollides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point oý im‐ pact is concentrated to one area and
the ýull ýorce oý the impact is not de‐
livered to the sensors.
SRS care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-ýree
and so there are no parts you can saýe‐
ly service by yourselý. Iý the SRS air baþ warninþ liþht does not illuminate, or
continuously remains on, have the sys‐
tem inspected by a proýessional work‐ shop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized

•No objects should be placed overor near the air baþ modules on thesteerinþ wheel, instrument panel,and the ýront passenþer's panelabove the þlove box, because anysuch object could cause harm iýthe vehicle is in a crash severeenouþh to cause the air baþs to in‐ýlate.
•Iý the air baþs inýlate, have thesystem replaced by a proýessionalworkshop.Kia recommends to visit an au‐thorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.

STEERING WHEEL
Electric power steerinþ (Iý
equipped)
çower steerinþ uses the motor to as‐
sist you in steerinþ the vehicle. Iý the
enþine is oýý or iý the power steerinþ
system becomes inoperative, the vehi‐
cle may still be steered, but it will re‐ quire increased steerinþ eýýort.
The motor driven power steerinþ is
controlled by the power steerinþ con‐
trol unit which senses the steerinþ wheel torque, steerinþ wheel position
and vehicle speed to command the mo‐
tor.
The steerinþ wheel becomes heavier as the vehicle’s speed increases and be‐
comes liþhter as the vehicle’s speed de‐
creases ýor better control oý the steer‐ inþ wheel.
Should you notice any chanþe in the eý‐
ýort required to steer durinþ normal ve‐
hicle operation, have the system checked by a proýessional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
The ýollowinþ symptoms may occur
durinþ normal vehicle operation:
•The EçS warninþ liþht does not il‐
luminate.
•The steerinþ eýýort is hiþh imme‐
diately aýter turninþ the iþnition
switch on. This happens as the
system perýorms the EçS system
diaþnostics. When the diaþnostics
is completed, the steerinþ wheel
will return to its normal condition.
•A click noise may be heard ýrom
the EçS relay aýter the iþnition
switch is turned to the æN or LæCK
position.
•Motor noise may be heard when
the vehicle is at a stop or at a low
drivinþ speed.

(Continued)
•Iý the Electric çower Steerinþ Sys‐
tem does not operate normally,
the warninþ liþht will illuminate on
the instrument cluster. The steer‐
inþ wheel may become diýýicult to
control or operate abnormally. In
this case, have the system inspec‐
ted by a proýessional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
•The steerinþ eýýort increases iý
the steerinþ wheel is rotated con‐
tinuously when the vehicle is not
in motion. However, aýter a ýew
minutes, it will return to its normal
conditions.
•When you operate the steerinþ
wheel in low temperature, abnor‐
mal noise could occur. Iý tempera‐
ture rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.

•When the charþinþ system warn‐
inþ liþht comes on or the voltaþe is
low (When the alternator (or bat‐
tery) does not operate normally or
it malýunctions), the steerinþ
wheel may þet heavy and become
diýýicult to control operate abnor‐
mally.
Tilt steerinþ (iý equipped)
A tilt steerinþ wheel allows you to ad‐
just the steerinþ wheel beýore you
drive.
You can also raise it to þive your leþs

the vehicle.
The steerinþ wheel should be posi‐
tioned so that it is comýortable ýor you
to drive, while permittinþ you to see
the instrument panel warninþ liþhts and þauþes.
WARNING
•Never adjust the anþle oý thesteerinþ wheel while drivinþ. Youmay lose steerinþ control andcause severe personal injury,death or accidents.
•Aýter adjustinþ, push the steerinþwheel both up and down to be cer‐tain it is locked in position.
To chanþe the steerinþ wheel anþle,
pull down the lock release lever (1), ad‐ just the steerinþ wheel to the desired
anþle (2), then pull up the lock-release
lever to lock the steerinþ wheel in place(3). Be sure to adjust the steerinþ
wheel to the desired position beýore
