Features of your vehicle

Steering wheel

The steering wheel of this vehicle is
equipped with the Electric Power Steer

ing (EPS) system.

Electric power steering (EPS)

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 EPS is controlled 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, have the system
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

NOTICE

The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• When the ENGINE START/STOP

but

ton is the ON position, the

steering wheel enters normal
operation mode after diagnosing the
Electric Power Steering system (for
about 3 sec

onds).

• A click noise may be heard from the

EPS relay after turning the ENGINE
START/STOP button is turned to
the ON or OFF position.

• If the steering wheel is operated when

the vehicle is not in motion or driven at
a low speed, you may hear some
noise.

• If the Electric Power Steering system

does not operate normally, the warn

ing light will illuminate or blink on the
instrument cluster. If the power assis

tance of steering fails, you will need to
use more force to steer.

• Operating the steering wheel at lower

temperatures may require more force
and accompany noise. However,
when the temperature increases, it
returns to normal.

• Take your vehicle to an authorized Kia

dealer and have the vehicle checked
as soon as possible.

• When the charging system warning

light comes on due to the low voltage
(when the alternator or battery does
not operate normally or malfunc

tions),

the steering wheel may require
increased steering effort.

• When jump starting the vehicle after

battery discharge, the steering wheel
may not function properly. It is a tem

porary situation due to low battery
voltage, and upon stable battery
charging, the steering wheel will func

tion normally again. Please move the
steering wheel around to make sure
the steering wheel is functioning
properly before driving the vehicle.

CAUTION

When you continuously operate the
steering wheel, the overcurrent protec

tion device is activated and it requires
more force to operate the steering wheel.
However, this doesn't indicate a
malfunction, and it works for your safety
and will return to normal after some time.
