Steering wheel
The steering wheel of this vehicle is
equipped with the Motor Driven Power
Steering system.
Motor Driven Power Steering
(MDPS)
Power steering uses the motor to assist
you in steering the vehicle.
If the engine is off or if the power steer
-
ing system becomes inoperative, the
vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
The MDPS is controlled by the power
steering control unit which senses the
steering wheel torque and vehicle 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 steer
-
ing wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the system
checked by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
僅 The MDPS warning light does not
appear.
僅 The steering effort is high immedi
-
ately after turning the ignition switch
on. This happens as the MDPS system
performs the diagnostics. When the
diagnostics is completed, the steering
effort will return to its normal condi
-
tion.
