the outward influences (for exam-
ple, ferry boat travelling, tower
parking etc.), because it could cause
the siren to sound inadvertently.

the sensor detects the inadvertent
movement inside the vehicle (for
example, blowing a wind or enter-
ing a butterfly) and it makes the
siren sounds.
 If boxes are piled high in the vehi- cle, the sensor may not detect the
movement behind the boxes. Also

STEERING WHEEL
Electronic power steering (EPS)
Power steering uses the motor to
assist you in steering the vehicle. If
the engine is off or if the power steer-
ing system becomes inoperative, the
vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
The motor driven power steering is
controlled by the power steering con-
trol unit which senses the steering
wheel torque and vehicle speed to
command the motor.
The steering wheel becomes heavier
as the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s
speed decreases for better control of
the steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorised Kia dealer.
✽✽ NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
 The EPS warning light does not illuminate.
 The steering effort is high immedi- ately after turning the ignition
switch on. This happens as the sys-
tem performs the EPS system diag-
nostics. 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/OFF
position.
 Motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low driv-
ing speed.
 The steering effort increases if the steering wheel is rotated continu-
ously when the vehicle is not in
motion. However, after a few min-
utes, it will return to its normal con-
ditions. (Continued)(Continued)
 If an error is detected in the electric
power steering system, EPS will
stop assisting driver in steering the
vehicle to prevent accidents and the
warning light on the cluster will
illuminate or blink. We recom-
mend that the system be checked
by an authorised Kia dealer.
 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 vehicle is stationary, if you turn the steering wheel all the
way to the left or right continuously,
the steering wheel becomes heavier
from the end. This is not a system
malfunction but for your safety. As
time passes, the steering wheel
returns to its 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 diffi-
cult to control operate abnormally.
