Power steering

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.

✽✽

NOTICE

If the power steering drive belt breaks

or if the power steering pump malfunc-

tions, 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 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.

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.

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.

STEERING WHEEL

CAUTION

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.

WARNING

• 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.
