Power steering
Power steering uses energy from the
engine to assist you in steering the vehi-
cle. If the engine is off or if the power
steering system becomes inoperative,
the vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power steer-
ing checked by an authorized Kia dealer.✽✽NOTICE
If the power steering drive belt breaks
or if the power steering pump malfunc-
tions, the steering effort will greatly
increase.
✽
✽ NOTICE
If the vehicle is parked for extended
periods outside in cold weather (below
-10°C(14°F)), the power steering may
require increased effort when the engine
is first started. This is caused by
increased fluid viscosity due to the cold
weather and does not indicate a mal-
function.
When this happens, increase the engine
RPM by depressing the accelerator until
the RPM reaches 1,500 rpm then release
or let the engine idle for two or three
minutes to warm up the fluid.
D130300AEN Tilt steering
Tilt steering allows 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 positioned
so that it is comfortable for you to drive,
while permitting you to see the instru-
ment panel warning lights and gauges.
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel to the
extreme right or left for more than 5
seconds with the engine running.Holding the steering wheel for morethan 5 seconds in either positionmay cause damage to the power
steering pump.
WARNING
Never adjust the angle of the steering wheel while driving. You
may lose steering control and
cause severe personal injury,death or accidents.
After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and down to be
certain it is locked in position.

Inside rearview mirror
Adjust the rearview mirror so that the
center view through the rear window is
seen. Make this adjustment before you
start driving.
D140101AHM
Day/night rearview mirror
Make this adjustment before you start
driving and while the day/night lever is in
the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to reduce the glare from the headlights of
the vehicles behind you during night driv-ing.
Remember that you lose some rearviewclarity in the night position.
D140102AHM-EE
Electric chromic mirror (ECM) (if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automatical- ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the vehicles behind you in nighttime or
low light driving conditions. The sensormounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and automati-cally controls the headlight glare from the
vehicles behind 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 automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle.
MIRRORS
WARNING -

Do not place objects in the rear
seat or cargo area which would
interfere with your vision through
the rear window.

Calibration procedure
The compass may not indicate the cor- rect compass direction if the electronic
compass has not been calibrated cor-
rectly, if the compass zone number is dif-
ferent from your current location, or when
you are driving in certain areas (tunnel,
parking garage, underground parking lot,
near transformer substation, etc.), and
the following may occur:
The compass headings become inac-
curate.
The compass heading doesn't change when the vehicle changes direction.
Some compass headings are not dis- played.
The compass headings are inaccurate in long distance driving.
If the vehicle's compass headings
become inaccurate continuously, the
compass should be manually calibrated
as follows: 1. For optimum calibration, switch off all
nonessential electrical accessories
(rear window defroster, climate controlsystem, audio system and windshield
wiper, etc.) and close all doors.
2. Move the vehicle to a safe and spa- cious place away from any large steel
structures or power generating cablesor equipment.
3. Turn on the compass function, and press and hold the COMPASS button
(2) for about 3 seconds until the
"ZONE" appears in the display.
Release the button and the zone num-
ber will appear in the display. If the zone number is different from your
current location, set the correct zone
number referring to "Setting the compass
zone" and perform the "Calibration pro-cedure" again.

4. When the compass heading displaynormally, press and hold the button (2)
again for about 6~7 seconds until the
"CAL" appears and release the button.
5. Drive your vehicle in a complete circle for at least 2~3 times (either clock-
wise or counterclockwise) at less than5 mph (8 km/h) until the "CAL" disap-
pears, and the compass heading
appears. Then the calibration will be
complete. If the compass mirror does not recog-
nize the terrestrial magnetism correct-
ly depending on the external circum-
stances, the calibration procedure
may be delayed.
6. If the vehicle's compass headings become inaccurate again, repeat the
above steps. Setting the compass zone
This compass must be set to compen-
sate for the variation between true north
and magnetic north. To set variation:
1. Find your current location and vari-
ance zone number on the zone map.
2. Press and hold the COMPASS button (2) for about 3 seconds until the
"ZONE" appears in the display, and
release the button. Then the zone
number will appear in the display.
3. Press the button (2) repeatedly until the correct zone number for your loca-
tion appears in the display. 4. If the desired zone number is selected,
release the button (2). After about 3
seconds, the "ZONE" will disappear
and a compass direction will show in
the display.
5. If the new compass zone is set, per- form the "Calibration procedure".
✽✽ NOTICE
 Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc. that is attached to the vehicle using a
magnet. Anything attached to the roof
of the vehicle with a magnet will effect
the compass operation.
 If the compass deviates from the cor-
rect indication after repeating the
adjustment, have the compass
checked by an authorized dealer.
 The compass may not indicate the
correct compass point in tunnels or
while driving up or down a steep hill.
(The compass returns to the correct
compass point when the vehicle moves
to an area where the geomagnetism is
stabilized.)

Outside rearview mirror Be sure to adjust the mirror angles
before driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both left-
hand and right-hand outside rearview
mirrors. The mirrors can be adjusted
remotely with the remote switch. The mir-
ror heads can be folded back to prevent
damage during an automatic car wash or
when passing through a narrow street.D140201AHM-EE
Remote control
The electric remote control mirror switch
allows you to adjust the position of the
left and right outside rearview mirrors. Toadjust the position of either mirror the
ignition switch should be in the ACC posi-
tion. Push the switch (1) to R or L to
select the right side mirror or the left side
mirror, then press a corresponding pointon the mirror adjustment control to posi-
tion the selected mirror up, down, left or
right.
After the adjustment, put the switch into
the neutral (center) position to prevent
inadvertent adjustment.
WARNING - Rearview mir-
rors
The right outside rearview mirror is convex. In some countries, the
left outside rearview mirror is
also convex. Objects seen in the
mirror are closer than they
appear.
Use your interior rearview mirror or direct observation to deter-
mine the actual distance of fol-
lowing vehicles when changinglanes.
CAUTION
Do not scrape ice off the mirror
face; this may damage the surface
of the glass. If ice should restrictthe movement of the mirror, do notforce the mirror for adjustment. To remove ice, use a deicer spray, or a
sponge or soft cloth with very warmwater.
CAUTION
If the mirror is jammed with ice, do
not adjust the mirror by force. Usean approved spray de-icer (not radi-ator antifreeze) to release thefrozen mechanism or move the
vehicle to a warm place and allowthe ice to melt.
WARNING
Do not adjust or fold the outside
rearview mirrors while the vehicle
is moving. This could result in loss
of control, and an accident which
could cause death, serious injury
or property damage.
