Driving your vehicle
Malfunction indicator
The VSM can be deactivated even if
you don’t cancel the VSM operation
by pressing the ESC OFF button. It
indicates that a malfunction has
been detected somewhere in the
Electric Power Steering system or
VSM system. If the ESC indicator
light ( ) or EPS warning light
remains on, take your vehicle to an
authorized Kia dealer and have the
system checked.
• Your vehicle is designed to activate
according to the driver’s intention,
even with installed VSM. Always
follow all the normal precautions
for driving at safe speeds for the
conditions – including driving in
inclement weather and on a slip-
pery road.
WARNING
For maximum protection, always
wear your seat belt. No system,
no matter how advanced, can
compensate for all driver error
and/or driving conditions.
Always drive responsibly.

When replacing tires and
wheels, make sure they are the
same size as the original tires

with varying tire or wheel sizes
may affect the vehicle's han-
dling.

Management system is not a
substitute for safe driving prac-
tices but a supplementary func-
tion only. It is the responsibility
of the driver to always check the
speed and the distance to the
vehicle ahead. Always hold the
steering wheel firmly while driv-
ing.
