僅 Tilt And Telescopic Steering Wheel; 僅 Heated Steering Wheel - Kia Niro EV 2023 Owner's Manual

Features of your vehicle
When the vehicle is stationary, and the
steering wheel is turned all the way to
the left or right continuously, the steer -
ing 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.
Tilt and telescopic steering wheel
A tilt and telescopic steering wheel
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.
