a closing sunroof.
• Do not extend the face, neck, arms or body outside through an
opened sunroof whilst driving.
• Make sure your hands and face are safely out of the way before clos-
ing a sunroof.
• A panorama sunroof is made of glass, therefore it may break in an
accident. If you do not have your
seat belt on, you may stick out of
the broken glass and get injured or
killed. For all passengers safety,
have an appropriate protection on.
(ex. seat belt, CRS, etc.)

may accumulate on the guide rail.

Features of your vehicle
Electronic power steering
Power steering uses the motor to assist
you in steering the vehicle. 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.
The electronic power steering is con-
trolled by the power steering control unit
which senses the steering wheel torque
and vehicle speed to command the
motor.
The steering effort becomes heavier as
the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s speed
decreases for better control of the steer- ing 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 dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not illu- minate.
• The steering effort is high immediately
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 condi-
tion.
• A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON or LOCK/OFF posi-
tion.
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving
speed.
• The steering effort increases if the
steering wheel is rotated continuously
when the vehicle is not in motion.
However, after a few minutes, it will
return to its normal conditions. (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 recommend that the system be
checked by an authorised Kia dealer as
soon as possible.
• When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, abnormal noise could
occur. If temperature rises, the noise
will disappear. This is a normal condi-
tion.
• 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 malfunc-
tion but for your safety. As time pass-
es, the steering wheel returns to its
normal condition.
• When the charging system warning light comes on or the voltage is low
(When the alternator (or battery) does
not operate normally or it malfunc-
tions), the steering wheel may get
heavy and become difficult to control
operate abnormally.

Tilt & telescopic steering
A tilt 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 positioned
so that it is comfortable for you to drive,
whilst permitting you to see the instru-
ment panel warning lights and gauges.
To change the steering wheel angle, pull
down the lock release lever (1), adjust the
steering wheel to the desired 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 posi-
tion, pressing the heated steering wheel
button warms the steering wheel.
✽NOTICE
The heated steering wheel will turn off
automatically approximately 30 minutes
after the heated steering wheel is turned
on.
WARNING
• Never adjust the angle and height of steering wheel whilst driving.
You may lose your steering con-
trol and cause severe personal
injury or accidents.
• After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and down to be
certain it is locked in position.OJD042031ROJD042083R

Inside rearview mirror
Adjust the rearview mirror so that the
centre view through the rear window is
seen. Make this adjustment before you
start driving.
Day/night rearview mirror
(if equipped)
Make this adjustment before you start
driving and whilst the day/night lever is in
the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlights of vehi-
cles behind you during night driving.
Remember that you lose some rearviewclarity in the night position.
Electric chromic mirror (ECM)(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automatical- ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car 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
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 R
(Reverse), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle.
MIRRORS
WARNING -
Rear visibility
Do not place objects in the rear
seat or cargo area which would
interfere with your vision out the
rear window.
CAUTION
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar materialdampened with glass cleaner. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly onthe mirror as that may cause the liq- uid cleaner to enter the mirror hous-
ing.
WARNING
Do not adjust the rearview mirror
whilst the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control, and
an accident which could cause
death, serious injury or property
damage.
WARNING
Do not modify the inside mirror and
do not install a wide mirror. It could
result in injury, during an accident
or deployment of the air bag.

Be sure to adjust 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 in a narrow street.
WARNING -
Rearview mir-
rors
• The outside rearview mirror is convex. Objects seen in the mir-
ror are closer than they appear.
• Use your interior rearview mirror or direct observation to deter-
mine the actual distance of fol-
lowing vehicles when changing lanes.
CAUTION
Do not scrape ice off the mirror
face; this may damage the surface of the glass. If ice should restrictmovement 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 the
frozen mechanism or move thevehicle to a warm place and allow
the ice to melt.
WARNING
Do not adjust or fold the outside
rearview mirrors whilst the vehicle
is moving. This could result in loss
of control, and an accident which
could cause death, serious injury
or property damage.
