steering KIA OPTIMA PLUG-IN HYBRID 2017 User Guide

Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front seat.
The purpose of the air bag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front
passenger with additional protection to
that offered by the seat belt alone.
The side air bags are designed to de‐ ploy only during certain side impact col‐
lisions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and point of impact. How‐ ever, when the side deployment
threshold is satisfied at front-impact,
the side air bags may deploy. The side air bags are not designed to deploy in
all side impact or rollover situations.
The side air bags may deploy on the
side of the impact or on both sides.
WARNING
Do not allow the passengers to leantheir heads or bodies onto doors, puttheir arms on the doors, stretchtheir arms out of the window, orplace objects between the doors andpassengers when they are seated onseats equipped with side and/or cur‐tain air bags.
NOTICE
nif equipped with rollover sen‐
sor
•Both sides of the side air bags de‐
ploy in certain rollover situations.
•The side air bag may deploy when
the rollover sensor detects the sit‐
uation as a rollover.
WARNING
•The side air bag is supplemental tothe driver's and the passenger'sseat belt systems and is not asubstitute for them. Therefore,your seat belts must be worn at alltimes while the vehicle is in mo‐tion. The air bags deploy only in
certain side impact or rollover*
conditions severe enough to causesignificant injury to the vehicle oc‐cupants.
(Continued)
*: Only vehicles equipped with rolloversensor.
(Continued)
•For best protection from the sideair bag system and to avoid beinginjured by the deploying side airbag, both front seat occupantsshould sit in an upright positionwith the seat belt properly fas‐tened. The driver's hands shouldbe placed on the steering wheel atthe 9:00 and 3:00 positions.The passenger's arms and handsshould be placed on their laps.
•Do not use any accessory seatcovers.
•Use of seat covers could reduce orprevent the effectiveness of thesystem.
•Do not install any accessories onthe side or near the side air bag.
•Do not place any objects over theair bag or between the air bag andyourself.
•Do not place any objects (an um‐brella, bag, etc.) between the frontdoor and the front seat. Such ob‐jects may become dangerous pro‐jectiles and cause injury if the sup‐plemental side air bag inflates.

NOTICE
nwithout rollover sensor
However, side and/or curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle is
rolled over by a side impact collision,
if the vehicle is equipped with side
air bags and curtain air bags.
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and so there are no parts you can safe‐
ly service by yourself. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate, or
continuously remains on, we recom‐ mend that the system be inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
•Modification to SRS components orwiring, including the addition ofany kind of badges to the pad cov‐ers or modifications to the bodystructure, can adversely affectSRS performance and lead to pos‐sible injury.
•For cleaning the air bag pad cov‐ers, use only a soft, dry cloth orone which has been moistenedwith plain water. Solvents or clean‐ers could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deploymentof the system.
•No objects should be placed overor near the air bag modules on thesteering wheel, instrument panel,and the front passenger's panelabove the glove box, because anysuch object could cause harm ifthe vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the air bags to in‐flate.
•If the air bags inflate, we recom‐mend that the system be replacedby an authorized Kia dealer.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Do not tamper with or disconnectSRS wiring, or other componentsof the SRS system. Doing so couldresult in injury, due to accidentalinflation of the air bags or by ren‐dering the SRS inoperative.
•If components of the air bag sys‐tem must be discarded, or if thevehicle must be scrapped, certainsafety precautions must be ob‐served. An authorized Kia dealerknows these precautions and cangive you the necessary informa‐tion. Failure to follow these pre‐cautions and procedures could in‐crease the risk of personal injury.
•If your car was flooded and hassoaked carpeting or water on theflooring, you shouldn't try to startthe engine; we recommend thatyou contact an authorized Kiadealer.
Additional safety precautions
•Never let passengers ride in the cargoarea or on top of a folded down backseat. All occupants should sit upright,
fully back in their seats with their
seat belts on and their feet on the
floor.

STEERING WHEEL
Electric power steering
Power steering uses the motor to as‐sist you in steering the vehicle. If the
engine is off or if the power steering
system becomes inoperative, the vehi‐ cle may still be steered, but it will re‐
quire 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 com‐
mand the motor.
The steering effort becomes heavier as the vehicleL

(Continued)
•When you operate the steering
wheel in a low temperature, ab‐
normal noise could occur. If the
temperature rises, the noise will
disappear. This is a normal condi‐
tion.
Tilt & telescopic steering
A tilt and telescopic steering wheel al‐
lows 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, while permitting you to see
the instrument panel warning lights and gauges.
WARNING
•Never adjust the angle of thesteering wheel while driving. Youmay lose steering control andcause severe personal injury,death or accidents.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•After adjusting, push the steeringwheel both up and down to be cer‐tain it is locked in position.
0+'
To change the steering wheel angle,
pull down the lock release lever (1), ad‐ just the steering wheel to the desired
angle (2) and height (3), then pull up
the lock-release lever (4) to lock the steering wheel in place. Be sure to ad‐
just the steering wheel to the desired
position before driving.
NOTICE
After adjustment, sometimes the
lock-release lever may not lock the
steering wheel.
It is not a malfunction. This occurs
when two gears engage. In this case,
adjust the steering wheel again and
then lock the steering wheel.
