Steering wheel
The steering wheel of this vehicle is
equipped with the Electric Power
Steering (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
steering system becomes inopera
-
tive, 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 vehi
-
cle 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 steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during nor
-
mal vehicle operation, have the sys
-
tem checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.

during normal vehicle operation:
䳜 When the ENGINE START/STOP
button is the ON position, the
steering wheel enters normal
operation mode after diagnosing
the Electric Power Steering sys
-
tem (for about 3 seconds).
䳜 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.

when the vehicle is not in motion

Kia dealer and have the vehicle
checked as soon as possible.

-
ing wheel may require increased
steering effort.
