ject to be cleared. If the window detects the resistance
while the power window switch is
pulled up continuously, the window will

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, steering wheel position
and vehicle speed to command the mo‐ tor.
The steering wheel becomes heavier as
the vehicle’s speed increases and be‐
comes lighter as the vehicle’s speed de‐ creases for better control of the steer‐
ing wheel.
Should you notice any change in the ef‐
fort required to steer during normal ve‐ hicle operation, have the system
checked by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
•The EPS warning light does not il‐
luminate.
•The steering effort is high imme‐
diately 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 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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•If the Electric Power Steering Sys‐
tem 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. In
this case, have the system inspec‐
ted by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
•The steering effort increases if
the steering wheel is rotated con‐
tinuously 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.

Electrochromic mirror (ECM) (if
equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automati‐
cally controls the glare from the head‐ lights of the vehicles behind you in
nighttime or low light driving condi‐
tions. The sensor (3) mounted in the mirror senses the light level around the
vehicle, and automatically controls the
headlight glare from the vehicles be‐ hind 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
reverse (R), the mirror will automatical‐
ly go to the brightest setting in order
to improve the drivers view behind the vehicle.
CAUTION
When cleaning the mirror, use a pa‐per towel or similar material damp‐ened with glass cleaner. Do notspray glass cleaner directly on themirror. It may cause the liquid clean‐er to enter the mirror housing.
To operate the electric rearview mirror:
• The mirror defaults to the ON posi‐ tion whenever the ignition switch is
turned on.
• Press the ON/OFF button (1) to turn the automatic dimming function off.
The mirror indicator light (2) will turn
off.
Press the ON/OFF button (1) to turn

Outside rearview mirror
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 mirror heads can be folded back to pre‐
vent damage during an automatic car
wash or when passing in a narrow street.
WARNING

•The outside rearview mirror isconvex. Objects seen in the mirrorare closer than they appear.
•Use your interior rearview mirroror direct observation to determinethe actual distance of followingvehicles when changing lanes.
CAUTION
Do not scrape ice off the mirror face;this may damage the surface of theglass. If ice should restrict move‐ment of the mirror, do not force themirror for adjustment. To remove

If the mirror is jammed with ice, donot adjust the mirror by force. Usean approved spray de-icer (not radi‐ator antifreeze) to release the fro‐zen mechanism or move the vehicleto a warm place and allow the ice tomelt.
WARNING
Do not adjust or fold the outsiderearview mirrors while the vehicle ismoving. This could result in loss ofcontrol, and an accident which couldcause death, serious injury or prop‐erty damage.
Remote control
Electric type
The electric remote control mirror
switch allows you to adjust the position of the left and right outside rearview
mirrors. To adjust the position of either
mirror, the ignition switch should be in the ACC position.
To adjust the position of either mirror,
press the R or L button (1) to select the
right side mirror or the left side mirror, then press a corresponding point (
)
on the mirror adjustment control to po‐
sition the selected mirror up, down, left or right. After adjustment, press the R or L but‐
ton again to prevent the inadvertent
adjustment.
