Tilt steering
Tilt  steering   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.
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 accelerator until the
RPM reaches 1,500 rpm  then release or
let the engine  idle for two or three  min-
utes to warm up the fluid.
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.
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.
WARNING
CAUTION
Never  adjust   the   angle  of   the
steering wheel  while driving. You
may  lose   steering   control  and
cause   severe   personal   injury,
death or accidents.
After adjusting, push the steering
wheel  both  up  and  down  to  be
certain it is locked in position.
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  sec-
onds  in either  position may  cause
damage   to    the   power   steering
pump.
NOTICE
If the  power steering  drive  belt breaks
or if the  power steering pump malfunc-
tions,  the   steering  effort   will   greatly
increase.
