Coasting guide (if equipped)
A chime will sound and the coasting
guide indicator will blink four times to
inform the driver when to take the foot
off from the accelerator by anticipat-
ing a decelerating event* based on
the analysis of driving routes and
road conditions according to the nav-
igation system. It encourages the
driver to remove foot from accelerator
pedal and allow coasting down the
road with EV motor only. This helps
prevent unnecessary fuel consump-
tion and increases fuel efficiency.
❈Examples of a deceleration events
is going down an extended hill,
slowing down while approaching a
toll booth, and approaching
reduced speed zones.
Press the Engine Start/Stop button
and put the shift lever in P(Park). In
the User Settings Mode, select
Driving Assist, Coasting Guide, and
then On to turn on the system.
Cancel the selection of coasting
guide to turn off the system. For the
explanation of the system, press and
hold the [OK] button.

To activate the system, take the fol-
lowing procedures. Enter your desti-
nation information on the navigation
and select the driving route. Then,
satisfy the following.
- The driving speed should be
between 37 mph (60 km/h) and 99
mph (160 km/h).
❈ The operating speed may vary due
to difference between instrument
cluster and navigation effected by
tire inflation level.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Coasting guide is only a supplemen-
tal system to assist with fuel-efficient
driving. Thus, the operating condi-
tions may be different in accordance
with traffic/road conditions (i.e.
driving in a traffic jam, driving on a
slope, driving on a curve). Thus,
take the actual driving conditions
into consideration, such as distances
from the vehicles ahead/ behind,
while referring to the coasting guide
system as guidance.

Features of your vehicle
Electric Power Steering
(EPS)
The power steering uses a 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 EPS is controlled by a power
steering control unit which senses
the steering wheel torque and vehi-
cle speed to command the motor.
The steering becomes heavier as the
vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s
speed decreases for optimum steer-
ing control.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power
steering checked by an authorized
Kia dealer. If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normally,
the warning light will illuminate on
the instrument cluster. The steering
wheel may require increased
steering effort. Take your vehicle to
an authorized Kia dealer and have
the vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, noise
may occur. If temperature rises, the
noise will likely disappear. This is a
normal condition.
When the vehicle is stationary, and the steering wheel is turned all the
way to the left or right continuous-
ly, the steering wheel becomes
harder to turn. The power assist is
limited to protect the motor from
overheating.
As time passes, the steering wheel
will return to its normal condition.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not
illuminate.
• The steering gets heavy immedi- ately after turning the ENGINE
START/STOP button is ON posi-
tion. This happens as the system
performs the EPS system diagnos-
tics. When the diagnostics are
completed, the steering wheel will
return to its normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after turning the
ENGINE START/STOP button is
ON or OFF position.
• A motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low
driving speed.
• If the Electric Power Steering System 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.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
Kia dealer and have the vehicle
checked as soon as possible. (Continued)
