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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•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.

Features of your vehicle

Electrochromic mirror (ECM) (if
equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automati‐
cally controls the glare from the head‐ lights of the vehicles behind you in
nighttime or low light driving condi‐
tions. The sensor (3) mounted in the mirror senses the light level around the
vehicle, and automatically controls the
headlight glare from the vehicles be‐ hind you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror. Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatical‐
ly go to the brightest setting in order
to improve the drivers view behind the vehicle.
CAUTION
When cleaning the mirror, use a pa‐per towel or similar material damp‐ened with glass cleaner. Do notspray glass cleaner directly on themirror. It may cause the liquid clean‐er to enter the mirror housing.
