A driver position memory system is
provided to store and recall the driv-
er seat position with a simple button
operation. By saving the desired
position into the system memory, dif-
ferent drivers can reposition the driv-
er seat based upon their driving pref-
erence. If the battery is disconnect-
ed, the position memory will be lost
and the driving position should be
restored in the system.

Features of your vehicle
Electric power steering
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, have the power
steering checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.
✽ ✽NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort is increased
immediately after turning the igni-
tion switch on. This happens as the
system performs the EPS system
diagnostics. 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 the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or
LOCK position.
• 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 continuous-
ly when the vehicle is not in motion.
However, after a few minutes, it will
return to its normal conditions.
• 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.
If the Electric Power Steering System
does not operate normally, the warn-
ing light will illuminate on the instru-
ment cluster. The steering 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.

It will turn off automatically approxi-
mately 30 minutes after the heated

turning off your engine in half an
hour (after operating heater button),
the heating system will be main-
tained in its 'on' condition.
CAUTION
Do not install any grip to oper-
ate the steering wheel. Thiscauses damage to the heatedsteering wheel system.
When cleaning the heated steering wheel, do not use anorganic solvent such as paintthinner, benzene, alcohol andgasoline. Doing so may dam-age the surface of the steeringwheel.
If the surface of the steering wheel is damaged by a sharpobject, damage to the heatedsteering wheel componentscould occur.
