STEERING WHEEL
Power steering (if equipped)
NOTICE
Tilt and telescopic steering
(if equipped)
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.
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  mal-
function.
When this happens,  increase the engine
RPM by depressing the accelerator until
the RPM reaches 1,500 rpm then release
or  let the  engine  idle  for two  or  three
minutes to warm up the fluid.
A  tilt   and   telescopic   steering   wheel
allows you  to  adjust the  steering wheel
before you drive. You can  also raise it to
the highest  level to  give your legs  more
room when  you exit  and enter  the vehi-
cle.
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.
NOTICE
Never hold the  steering wheel against
a stop (extreme  right or left  turn) for
more than  5 seconds  with  the engine
running.  Holding  the  steering  wheel
for more than 5 seconds in either posi-
tion may  cause damage  to the  power
steering pump.
If the power steering drive belt breaks
or  if  the  power steering  pump  mal-
functions,   the   steering    effort   will
greatly increase.
WARNING - Steering wheel
Never adjust the angle of steering
wheel while driving.You  may lose
your  steering control  and  cause
severe  personal   injury  or   acci-
dents.
After adjusting, push the steering
wheel  both  up  and  down  to  be
certain it is locked in position.
