Steering wheel
When you continuously operate the
steering wheel, the overcurrent
protection device is activated and it
requires more force to operate the
steering wheel. However, this
doesn't indicate a malfunction, and
it works for your safety and will
return to normal after some time.
If the Electric Power Steering (EPS)
system does not work or an error
occurs, the warning light on the
instrument panel may be turned on
or blink and it may require more
force to operate the steering wheel.
In this case, please hold the steering
wheel more tightly than usual and
operate with greater force. And
then immediately pull your vehicle
over to a safe place and have your
vehicle inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
Tilt & 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 posi
-
tioned so that it is comfortable for
you to drive, while permitting you to
see the instrument panel warning
lights and gauges.
Steering wheel adjustment
Never adjust the angle and height of
the steering wheel while driving. You
may lose steering control.
Adjusting steering wheel angle and
height
1. To change the steering wheel
angle, pull down the lock release
lever (1).
2. Adjust the steering wheel to the
desired angle (2) and height (3).
Move the steering wheel, so it
points toward your chest, not
toward your face. Make sure you
can see the instrument panel
warning lights and gauges. After
adjusting, pull up the lock.
3. Pull up the lock-release lever to
lock the steering wheel in place.
Push the steering wheel both up
and down to be certain it is locked
in position.
