Steering wheel
The steering wheel of this vehicle is
equipped with the Electronic Power
Steering (EPS) system.
Electric Power Steering (EPS) sys
-
tem
Electric power steering is a device
that uses an electric motor to help
the driver provide less effort in
steering the vehicle.
If the vehicle is off or if the Elec
-
tronic Power Steering (EPS)
becomes inoperative, the vehicle
may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
The EPS is controlled by the power
steering control unit which senses
the steering wheel torque and vehi
-
cle speed to command the motor.
The steering effort becomes
heavier as the vehicle's speed
increases and becomes lighter as
the vehicle's speed decreases for
better control of the steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during nor
-
mal vehicle operation, have the
power steering checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.
