Steering wheel
Power steering (if equipped) Power steering uses energy from the engine 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.
Should you notice any change in the effort required to steer during normal vehicle operation, have the power steering checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
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 position
may cause damage to the power
steering pump.
• If the power steering drive belt breaks or if the power steering pump malfunctions, the steering effort will greatly increase.
NOTICE
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 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.
Tilt steering (if equipped) A tilt 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 vehicle.
The steering wheel should be positioned so that it is comfortable for you to drive, while permitting you to see the instrument panel warning lights and gauges.
WARNING - Steering wheel • Never adjust the angle of steering wheel while driving.You may lose your steering control and cause severe personal injury or accidents.
• After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and down to be certain it is locked in position.
To change the steering wheel angle, pull down (1) the lock release lever, adjust the steering wheel to the desired angle (2), then pull up the lock-release lever to lock the steering wheel in place.
Be sure to adjust the steering wheel to the desired position before driving.
