Steering wheel
僅 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.
僅 If the vehicle needs to be jump started
due to battery discharge, the steering
wheel may not function normally. This
is a temporary situation caused by low
battery voltage. It will be solved once
the battery is charged. Check for nor
-
mal steering function by turning the
steering wheel slowly before driving
the vehicle.
僅 The steering effort can suddenly
increase, if the operation of the EPS
system is stopped to prevent serious
accidents when EPS control unit
detects malfunction of the EPS sys
-
tem by self-diagnosis.
If the Electric Power Steering system
does not operate normally, the warning
light will illuminate on the instrument
cluster. The steering wheel may become
difficult to control or operate abnor
-
mally. In this case, have the system
inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
When you operate the steering wheel in
low temperature, the steering effort may
be high and abnormal noise could occur.
If temperature rises, the noise will disap
-
pear. This is a normal condition.
When the vehicle is stationary, and the
steering wheel is turned all the way to
the left or right continuously, the steer
-
ing wheel becomes harder to turn. The
power assist is limited to protect the
motor from overheating.
As time passes, the steering wheel will
return to its normal condition.
Tilt and telescopic steering wheel
A tilt and telescopic steering wheel
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.
