Power windows
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to oper-
ate. Each door has a power window
switch that controls the door’s win-
dow. The driver’s door has a master
power window switch that controls all
the windows in the vehicle. Also, the
driver has a power window lock
switch which can block the operation
of rear passenger windows.
The power windows can be operated
for approximately 30 seconds after
the ignition key is removed or turned
to the ACC or LOCK position.
However, if the front doors are
opened, the power windows cannot
be operated even within the 30 sec-
onds period.✽✽
NOTICE
Whilst driving with the rear win-
dows down or with the sunroof (if
equipped) in an open (or partially
open position), your vehicle may
demonstrate a wind buffeting or
pulsation noise. This noise is a nor-
mal occurrence and can be reduced
or eliminated by taking the follow-
ing actions. If the noise occurs with
one or both of the rear windows
down, partially lower both front
windows approximately one inch.
If you experience the noise with the
sunroof open, slightly reduce the
size of the sunroof opening. Window opening and closing

Automatic reversal
(for Type B windows, if equipped)
If the upward movement of the win-
dow is blocked by an object or part of
the body, the window will detect the
resistance and will stop upward
movement. The window will then
lower approximately 30 cm (11.8 in.)
to allow the object to be cleared.

whilst the power window switch is
pulled up continuously, the window
will stop upward movement then
lower approximately 2.5 cm (1 in.).

Closing the bonnet
1. Before closing the bonnet, checkthe following:
ment must be correctly installed.
bustible material must be
removed from the engine com-
partment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the bonnet until it is about 30 cm (1 ft.) above the closed
position and let it drop. Make sure
that it locks into place.WARNING - Bonnet
Before closing the bonnet, ensure that all obstructions
are removed from the bonnet
opening. Closing the bonnetwith an obstruction present in
the bonnet opening may
result in property damage or
severe personal injury.
Do not leave gloves, rags or any other combustible materi-
al in the engine compartment.
Doing so may cause a heat-
induced fire.WARNING
Always double check to be sure that the bonnet is firmly
latched before driving away. If
it is not latched, the bonnet
could fly open whilst the vehi-
cle is being driven, causing a
total loss of visibility, whichmight result in an accident.
The support rod must be inserted completely into the
hole whenever you inspect the
engine compartment. This will
prevent the bonnet from falling
and possibly injuring you.
Do not move the vehicle with the bonnet raised. The view
will be blocked and the bon-
net could fall or be damaged.

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.

Tilt & telescopic steering
A tilt and telescopic steering wheel
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 posi-
tioned so that it is comfortable for
you to drive, whilst permitting you to
see the instrument panel warning
lights and gauges.To change the steering wheel angle,
pull down the lock release lever (1),
adjust the steering wheel to thedesired angle (2) and height (3), then
pull up the lock-release lever to lock
the steering wheel in place. Be sure
to adjust the steering wheel to the
desired position before driving.Heated steering wheel (if equipped)
With the ignition switch in the ON position, pressing the heated steer-
ing wheel button warms the steeringwheel.
✽✽
NOTICE
The heated steering wheel will turn off automatically approxi-
mately 30 minutes after the heated
steering wheel is turned on.
If you turn on the ignition again after turn off the engine in half an
hour (after operating heater but-
ton), the heated steering wheel will
be maintained in its 'ON' condition.
WARNING
Never adjust the angle and height of steering wheel
whilst driving. You may lose
your steering control and
cause severe personal injuryor accidents.
After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and
down to be certain it is lockedin position.
