Features of your vehicle
僅 The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
- The EPS warning light does not illu-
minate.
- The steering effort is high immedi-
ately after pressing the EV button
to ON position. This happens as the
EPS system performs the diagnos-
tics. When the diagnostics is com-
pleted, the steering effort will
return to its normal condition.
- A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after EV button is in ON
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 functions
will be stopped. At this time, the
instrument cluster warning light
turns on or blinks and the power to
manipulate the steering will be off.
Please check immediately after
moving the vehicle to a safe zone.
- The steering effort increases if the
steering wheel is rotated continu-
ously when the vehicle is not in
motion. However, after a few min-
utes, it will return to its normal con-
ditions.
- If the Electric Power Steering Sys-
tem does not operate normally, the
warning light will illuminate or blink
on the instrument cluster. The
steering wheel may become diffi-
cult to control or operate abnor-
mally. In this case, have the system
inspected by a professional work-
shop. Kia recommends visiting an
authorized Kia dealer/service part-
ner.
- 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.
- When jump starting the vehicle
after battery discharge, the steer-
ing wheel may not function prop-
erly. It is a temporary situation due
to low battery voltage, and upon
stable battery charging, the steer-
ing wheel will function normally
again. Please move the steering
wheel around to make sure the
steering wheel is functioning prop-
erly before driving the vehicle.
僅 The heated steering wheel will turn off
automatically approximately 30 min-
utes after the heated steering wheel is
turned on.
