STEERING WHEEL
Electric power steering
Power steering uses the motor to as‐sist you in steering the vehicle. If the
engine is off or if the power steering
system becomes inoperative, the vehi‐ cle may still be steered, but it will re‐
quire increased steering effort.
The motor driven power steering is
controlled by the power steering con‐ trol unit which senses the steering
wheel torque, steering wheel position
and vehicle speed to command the mo‐ tor.
The steering wheel becomes heavier as
the vehicle’s speed increases and be‐
comes lighter as the vehicle’s speed de‐ creases for better control of the steer‐
ing wheel.
Should you notice any change in the ef‐
fort required to steer during normal ve‐ hicle operation, have the system
checked by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
•The EPS warning light does not il‐
luminate.
•The steering effort is high imme‐
diately 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 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.

•If the Electric Power Steering Sys‐
tem 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. In
this case, have the system inspec‐
ted by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
•The steering effort increases if
the steering wheel is rotated con‐
tinuously when the vehicle is not
in motion. However, after a few
minutes, 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.

•When the charging system warn‐
ing light comes on or the voltage is
low (When the alternator (or bat‐
tery) does not operate normally or
it malfunctions), the steering
wheel may get heavy and become
difficult to control operate abnor‐
mally.
Tilt & telescopic steering (if
equipped)
A tilt and telescopic steering wheel al‐
lows 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 posi‐ tioned so that it is comfortable for you
to drive, while permitting you to see
the instrument panel warning lights and gauges.
WARNING
•Never adjust the angle of thesteering wheel while driving. Youmay lose steering control andcause severe personal injury,death or accidents.
•After adjusting, push the steeringwheel both up and down to be cer‐tain it is locked in position.
To change the steering wheel angle,
pull down the lock release lever (1), ad‐ just the steering wheel to the desired
angle (2) and height (3, if equipped),
then pull up the lock-release lever to lock the steering wheel in place. Be sure
to adjust the steering wheel to the de‐
sired position before driving.

WARNING
•Never press the ENGINE START/STOP button while the vehicle is inmotion. This would result in loss ofdirectional control and brakingfunction, which could cause an ac‐cident.
•The anti-theft steering columnlock is not a substitute for theparking brake. Before leaving thedriver's seat, always make surethe shift lever is engaged in P(Park), set the parking brake fullyand shut the engine off. Unexpec‐ted and sudden vehicle movementmay occur if these precautions arenot taken.
•Never reach for the ENGINESTART/STOP button or any othercontrols through the steeringwheel while the vehicle is in mo‐tion. The presence of your hand orarm in the area could cause loss ofvehicle control, an accident and se‐rious bodily injury or death.

Starting the engine
WARNING
•Always wear appropriate shoeswhen operating your vehicle. Un‐suitable shoes (high heels, skiboots, etc.) may interfere withyour ability to use the brake andaccelerator pedal.
•Do not start the vehicle with theaccelerator pedal depressed. Thevehicle can move and lead to anaccident.
•Wait until the engine rpm is nor‐mal. The vehicle may suddenlymove if the brake pedal is releasedwhen the rpm is high.

• Be sure the vehicle is completelystopped before you attempt to shift
into reverse. The transaxle can be damaged if you do not.
• Exercise extreme caution when driv‐ ing on a slippery surface. Be especial‐
ly careful when braking, accelerating
or shifting gears. On a slippery sur‐
face, an abrupt change in vehicle speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to go out
of control.
WARNING
•Always buckle-up! In a collision, anunbelted occupant is significantlymore likely to be seriously injuredor killed than a properly belted oc‐cupant.
•Avoid high speeds when corneringor turning.
•Do not make quick steering wheelmovements, such as sharp lanechanges or fast, sharp turns.
•The risk of rollover is greatly in‐creased if you lose control of yourvehicle at highway speeds.

•Loss of control often occurs if twoor more wheels drop off the road‐way and the driver oversteers toreenter the roadway.
•In the event your vehicle leavesthe roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pullingback into the travel lanes.

2. Move the shift lever.
If the brake pedal is repeatedly de‐
pressed and released with the shift lev‐ er in the P (Park) position, a chattering
noise near the shift lever may be heard.
This is a normal condition.
WARNING
Always fully depress the brake pedalbefore and while shifting out of theP (Park) position into another posi‐tion to avoid inadvertent motion ofthe vehicle which could injure per‐sons in or around the car.
Good driving practices
• Never move the shift lever from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to any other po‐
sition with the accelerator pedal de‐ pressed.
• Never move the shift lever into P (Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
• Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into R
(Reverse) or D (Drive). • Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This may be ex‐tremely hazardous. Always leave the
car in gear when moving.
• Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunc‐
tion. Instead, when you are driving
down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you do this,
engine braking will help slow the car.
• Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may
not be engaged.
• Always use the parking brake. Do not depend on placing the transaxle in P
(Park) to keep the car from moving.
• Exercise extreme caution when driv‐ ing on a slippery surface. Be especial‐
ly careful when braking, accelerating
or shifting gears. On a slippery sur‐ face, an abrupt change in vehicle
speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to go out
of control.
• Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly de‐
pressing and releasing the accelera‐
tor pedal.
