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.

Electronic Power
Steering (EPS) Warning
Light (if equipped)
This warning light illumi‐nates:
• Once you set the ignition switch or Engine Start/Stop Button to the ON
position. - This indicator light comes on after the ignition key is turned to the
ON position and then goes out af‐
ter approximately 3 seconds.
• When there is a malfunction with the EPS.
In this case, have the vehicle inspec‐ted by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL)
This warning light illumi‐nates:
• Once you set the ignition switch or Engine Start/Stop Button to the ON
position. - It remains on until the engine is started.
• When there is a malfunction with the emission control system.
In this case, have the vehicle inspec‐
ted by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
nMalfunction Indicator Lamp(MIL)
Driving with the Malfunction Indica‐tor Lamp (MIL) on may cause dam‐age to the emission control systemswhich could effect drivability and/orfuel economy.
CAUTION
nGasoline Engine
If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp(MIL) illuminates, potential catalyticconverter damage is possible whichcould result in loss of engine power.In this case, have the vehicle inspec‐ted by a professional workshop assoon as possible.Kia recommends to visit an author‐ized Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
nDiesel Engine
If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp(MIL) blinks, some error related tothe injection quantity adjustmentoccurs which could result in loss ofengine power, combustion noise andpoor emission.In this case, have the engine controlsystem inspected by a professionalworkshop. Kia recommends to visitan authorized Kia dealer/servicepartner.

BRAKE SYSTEM
Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakesthat adjust automatically through nor‐
mal usage.
In the event that the power-assisted
brakes lose power because of a stalled engine or some other reason, you can
still stop your vehicle by applying
greater force to the brake pedal than you normally would. The stopping dis‐
tance, however, will be longer.
When the engine is not running, the re‐
serve brake power is partially depleted each time the brake pedal is applied. Do
not pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when nec‐ essary to maintain steering control on
slippery surfaces.
WARNING
nBrakes
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Do not drive with your foot restingon the brake pedal. This will createabnormal high brake tempera‐tures, excessive brake lining andpad wear, and increased stoppingdistances.
•When descending a long or steephill, shift to a lower gear and avoidcontinuous application of thebrakes. Continuous brake applica‐tion will cause the brakes to over‐heat and could result in a tempo‐rary loss of braking performance.
•Wet brakes may impair the vehi‐cle’s ability to safely slow down;the vehicle may also pull to oneside when the brakes are applied.Applying the brakes lightly will in‐dicate whether they have been af‐fected in this way. Always testyour brakes in this fashion afterdriving through deep water. To drythe brakes, apply them lightlywhile maintaining a safe forwardspeed until brake performance re‐turns to normal.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Always, confirm the position ofthe brake and accelerator pedalbefore driving. If you don't checkthe position of the accelerator andbrake pedal before driving, youmay depress the accelerator in‐stead of the brake pedal. It maycause a serious accident.
In the event of brake failure
If service brakes fail to operate while
the vehicle is in motion, you can make an emergency stop with the parking
brake. The stopping distance, however,
will be much greater than normal.
WARNING
nParking brake
Applying the parking brake while thevehicle is moving at normal speedscan cause a sudden loss of control ofthe vehicle. If you must use theparking brake to stop the vehicle,use great caution in applying thebrake.

Collision warning (2nd warning)
• The warning message appears on theLCD display with a warning alarm.
• The vehicle will reduce its speed to a certain limit.- The brake activates gradually for vehicles ahead.
- The brake control activates within an arranged limit to ease the im‐
pact from a collision.
Emergency braking (3rd warning)
• The warning message appears on the LCD display with a warning alarm.
• The vehicle will reduce its speed to a certain limit.
- The brake control activates within an arranged limit to ease the im‐
pact from a collision. Maximum
brake control is activated just be‐
fore the collision.
Brake operation
• In an urgent situation, the braking system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the driv‐ er’s depressing the brake pedal. • The FCA provides additional braking
power for optimum braking perform‐
ance, when the driver depresses the
brake pedal.
• The braking control is automatically deactivated, when the driver sharplydepresses the brake pedal, or when
the driver abruptly operates the
steering wheel.
• The braking control is automatically canceled, when risk factors disappear.
CAUTION
The driver should always pay greatcaution to vehicle operation, eventhough there is no warning messageor warning alarm.
WARNING
The FCA cannot avoid all collisions.The FCA might not completely stopthe vehicle before collision, due toambient, weather and road condi‐tions. The driver has the responsibili‐ty to drive safely and control the ve‐hicle.
