Features of your vehicle
NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
The EPS warning light does not
illuminate.
The steering effort is high imme
diately after turning the ignition
switch on. This happens as the
EPS system performs the diag
nostics. When the diagnostics is
completed, the steering effort will
return to its normal condition.
A click noise may be heard from
the EPS relay after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or
LOCK position.
Motor noise may be heard when
the vehicle is at a stop or at a low
driving speed.
When the abnormality is detected
in the electric power steering sys
tem, a deadly accident prevention
purposes, steering assist func
tions will be stopped. At this time,
the instrument panel warning
light turns on or blinks and the
power to manipulate the steering
will be off. Please check immedi
ately after moving the vehicle to a
safe zone.
The steering effort increases if
the steering wheel is rotated con
tinuously when the vehicle is not
in motion. However, after a few
minutes, it will return to its nor
mal conditions.
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. In this case, have the
system inspected by a profes
sional workshop. Kia recom
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
When you operate the steering
wheel in low temperature, abnor
mal noise could occur. If tempera
ture rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.
