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 steering system
becomes inoperative, the vehicle may
still be steered, but it will require
increased steering effort.
The motor driven 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 authorized
Kia dealer.
✽✽NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
The EPS warning light does not illu- minate. (Continued)(Continued)
The steering effort is high immediate-
ly after turning the ignition switch on.
This happens as the EPS system per-
forms the diagnostics. When the diag-
nostics is completed, the steering effort
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.
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. We recommend that you
contact an authorized Kia dealer.
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.
When you operate the steering wheel
in low temperature, abnormal noise
could occur. If temperature rises, the
noise will disappear. This is a normal
condition.
Tilt steering
Tilt steering 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,
while permitting you to see the instru-
ment panel warning lights and gauges.
STEERING WHEEL
WARNING
Never adjust the angle of the steering wheel while driving. You
may lose steering control and
cause severe personal injury,death or accidents.
After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and down to be
certain it is locked in position.

With the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion, pressing the heated steering wheel

bol on your steering wheel.
Check the horn regularly to be sure it
operates properly.
✽✽ NOTICE

ing wheel (see illustration). The horn will
operate only when this area is pressed.
CAUTION
Do not strike the horn severely to operate it, or hit it with your fist. Do not press on the horn with a sharp-pointed object.

Anti-lock brake system
(ABS) warning light (if equipped)
This warning light illuminates if the igni-
tion switch is turned to ON and goes off
in approximately 3 seconds if the system
is operating normally.
If the ABS warning light remains on,
comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, this indicates
that the ABS may have malfunctioned.
If this occurs, we recommend to have the
system checked by an authorized Kia
dealer. The normal braking system will
still be operational, but without the assis-
tance of the anti-lock brake system. Electronic brake force distri-
bution (EBD) system warning
light
If two warning lights illumi- nate at the same time while
driving, your vehicle may
have a malfunction with ABSand EBD system.
In this case, your ABS and regular brake
system may not work normally. We rec-
ommend that the system be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.
Seat belt warning
As a reminder to the driver and passen-
ger, the seat belt warning light will blink
or illuminate for approximately 6 seconds
each time you turn the ignition switch ON
regardless of belt fastening.
For details, refer to the seat belt on chap- ter 3.
WARNING
If the both ABS and Brake warning
lights are on and stay on, your vehi-
cle’s brake system will not work
normally. So you may experience
an unexpected and dangerous situa-
tion during sudden braking. In this
case, avoid high speed driving and
abrupt braking. We recommend that
the system be checked by an author-
ized Kia dealer.

sound for about 5 seconds. The indicator
will go off while the vehicle is moving.
Keep the smart key in the vehicle or
insert it in the smart key holder.
Key reminder warning chime (if equipped)

the driver’s door is closed.
Glow indicator (Diesel engine)
The indicator illuminates when the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position. The
engine can be started after the preheat
indicator light goes off. The illuminating
time varies with the water temperature,
air temperature and battery condition.
✽✽ NOTICE
If the engine does not start within 10
seconds after the preheating is complet-
ed, turn the ignition key once more to
the LOCK position for 10 seconds, and
then to the ON position, in order to pre-
heat again.
Fuel filter warning light (Diesel engine)
This warning light illuminates for 3 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is set to the
ON position and then it will go off. If it
lights up while the engine is running, it
indicates that water has accumulated
inside the fuel filter. If this happens,
remove the water from the fuel filter. For
more information, refer to “Fuel filter” insection 7.
CAUTION
When the fuel filter warning light is illuminated, engine power (vehicle
speed & idle speed) may decrease. If you keep driving with the warninglight on, you can damage your vehi- cle's engine parts and injection sys-
tem of the Common Rail.
If this occurs, we recommend thatthe system be checked by an author- ized Kia dealer.

To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the car through the ventilation
system, temporarily set the air intakecontrol to the recirculated air position.
Be sure to return the control to the
fresh air position when the irritation
has passed to keep fresh air in the
vehicle. This will help keep the driver
alert and comfortable.
Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just ahead
of the windshield. Care should be
taken that these are not blocked by
leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions.
To prevent interior fog on the wind- shield, set the air intake control to the
fresh air position and fan speed to the

✽✽ NOTICE
When using the air conditioning sys- tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely while driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera-
tures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine over-
heating. Continue to use the blower
fan but turn the air conditioning sys-
tem off if the temperature gauge indi-
cates engine overheating.
When opening the windows in humid
weather air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle.
Since excessive water droplets may
cause damage to electrical equipment,
air conditioning should only be run
with the windows closed.
