Electric power steering
(if equipped)
If the power steering drive belt breaks
or  if  the  power steering  pump  mal-
functions,   the   steering    effort   will
greatly increase.
Power  steering   uses  energy  from  the
engine to assist you in  steering the vehi-
cle. 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.
Should  you  notice  any   change  in  the
effort  required   to  steer  during  normal
vehicle operation, have  the power steer-
ing checked by an authorized KIA dealer.
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  wheel 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 power steer-
ing checked by an authorized KIA dealer.
•  If  the vehicle  is parked  for  extended
periods outside in cold weather (below
-10°C/14°F),  the power  steering  may
require   increased   effort   when   the
engine is  first  started. This  is caused
by increased fluid viscosity  due to the
cold weather  and does  not indicate  a
malfunction.
When   this   happens,    increase    the
engine RPM  by depressing  the accel-
erator  until  the  RPM  reaches  1,500
rpm then release or let the engine  idle
for two  or three minutes  to warm  up
the fluid.
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel to the
extreme right or left for more than 5
seconds  with  the  engine  running.
Holding the steering wheel for more
than  5  seconds  in  either  position
may  cause  damage  to  the   power
steering pump.
