The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not
illuminate.
• The steering gets heavy immedi -
ately after turning the ignition
switch is ON position. This hap -
pens as the system performs the
EPS system diagnostics. When
the diagnostics are completed,
the steering wheel will return to
its normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from
the EPS relay after turning the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
or LOCK position.
• A motor noise may be heard when
the vehicle is at a stop or at a low
driving speed.
• If the Electronic Power Steering
System does not operate nor -
mally, the warning light will illumi -
nate on the instrument cluster.
The steering wheel may become
difficult to control or operate
abnormally. Take your vehicle to
an authorized Kia dealer and have
the vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
• When the charging system warn -
ing light comes on due to the low
voltage (when the alternator or
battery does not operate nor -
mally or malfunctions), the steer -
ing wheel may require increased
steering effort.
If the Electronic Power Steering
System does not operate normally,
the warning light will illuminate on
the instrument cluster. The steering
wheel may become difficult to con -
trol or operate abnormally. In this
case, have the system inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.
When you operate the steering
wheel in low temperature, the
steering effort may be high and
abnormal noise could occur. If tem -
perature rises, the noise will disap -
pear. This is a normal condition.
When the vehicle is stationary, and
the steering wheel is turned all the
way to the left or right continu -
ously, the steering wheel becomes
harder to turn. The power assist is
limited to protect the motor from
overheating.
As time passes, the steering wheel
will return to its normal condition.

allows you to adjust the steering
wheel before you drive

legs more room when you exit and

The steering wheel should be posi -
tioned so that it is comfortable for
you to drive, while permitting you to
see the instrument panel warning
lights and gauges.
