Steering wheel
The steering wheel of this vehicle is
equipped with the Electric Power Steer
-
ing (EPS) system.
Electric power steering (EPS)
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 EPS 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 an authorized Kia dealer.
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
僅 When the ENGINE START/STOP but
-
ton is the ON position, the steering
wheel enters normal operation mode
after diagnosing the Electric Power
Steering system (for about 3 sec
-
onds).
僅 A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after turning the ENGINE
START/STOP button is turned to the
ON or OFF position.
僅 If the steering wheel is operated when
the vehicle is not in motion or driven
at a low speed, you may hear some
noise.
