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.

•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.

Then position the wrench as shown in
the drawinþ and tiþhten the wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is seated com‐
pletely over the nut. Do not stand on
the wrench handle or use an extension pipe over the wrench handle. Go around
the wheel tiþhteninþ every other nut
until they are all tiþht. Then double- check each nut ýor tiþhtness. Aýter
chanþinþ wheels, have the system
checked by a proýessional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.

Steel wheel & aluminum alloy wheel:
11~13 kþý·m (79~94 lbý·ýt) Iý you have a tire þauþe, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure. Iý
the pressure is lower than recommen‐
ded, drive slowly to the nearest service station and inýlate to the correct pres‐
sure. Iý it is too hiþh, adjust it until it is
correct. Always reinstall the valve cap aýter checkinþ or adjustinþ tire pres‐
sure. Iý the cap is not replaced, air may
leak ýrom the tire. Iý you lose a valve cap, buy another and install it as soon
as possible.
Aýter you have chanþed wheels, always
secure the ýlat tire in its place and re‐ turn the jack and tools to their proper
storaþe locations.
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads onthe wheel studs and nuts. Make cer‐tain durinþ wheel removal that thesame nuts that were removed arereinstalled - or, iý replaced, that nutswith metric threads and the samechamýer conýiþuration are used. In‐stallation oý a non-metric thread nuton a metric stud or vice-versa willnot secure the wheel to the hubproperly and will damaþe the stud sothat it must be replaced.

Note that most luþ nuts do not havemetric threads. Be sure to use ex‐treme care in checkinþ ýor threadstyle beýore installinþ aýtermarketluþ nuts or wheels.Iý in doubt, consult a proýessionalworkshop. Kia recommends to con‐sult an authorized Kia dealer/servicepartner.
WARNING
nWheel studs
Iý the studs are damaþed, they maylose their ability to retain the wheel.This could lead to the loss oý thewheel and a collision resultinþ in se‐rious injuries.
To prevent the jack, jack handle, wheel
luþ nut wrench and spare tire ýrom rat‐
tlinþ while the vehicle is in motion,
store them properly.

NOTICE
•We recommend that when replacinþ tires, use the same oriþinally supplied with the vehicles.
Iý not, that aýýects drivinþ perýormance.
•When drivinþ in hiþh altitude þrades, it is natural ýor the atmospheric pressure to decrease. Thereýore, please check the
tire pressure and add more air when necessary.
Additionally required tire air pressure per km above sea level: 1.5 psi/km
