Always remove the fuel cap

carefully and slowly. If the cap is

venting fuel or if you hear a hiss-

ing sound, wait until the condi-

tion stops before completely

removing the cap. If pressurized

fuel sprays out, it can cover your

clothes or skin and subject you

to the risk of fire and burns.

• Before touching the fuel noz-

zle, you should eliminate

potentially dangerous static

electricity discharge by touch-

ing another metal part of the

vehicle, a safe distance away

from the fuel filler neck, noz-

zle, or other gas source.

When using an approved portable

fuel container, be sure to place

the container on the ground prior

to refueling. Static electricity dis-

charge from the container can

ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.

Once refueling has begun, con-

tact with the vehicle should be

maintained until the filling is com-

plete. Use only approved portable

plastic fuel containers designed

to carry and store gasoline.

• Do not get back into a vehicle

once you have begun refueling

since you can generate static

electricity by touching, rubbing

or sliding against any item or

fabric (polyester, satin, nylon,

etc.) capable of producing stat-

ic electricity. Static electricity

discharge can ignite fuel

vapors resulting in rapid burn-

ing. If you must reenter the

vehicle, you should once again

eliminate potentially danger-

ous static electricity discharge

by touching a metal part of the

vehicle, away from the fuel filler

neck, nozzle or other gasoline

source.

Always check that the fuel cap is

installed securely to prevent fuel

spillage in the event of an accident.

STEERING WHEEL

• If the Electric Power Steering

System does not operate normally,

the warning light will illuminate on

the instrument cluster.The steering

wheel may require increased

steering effort. Take your vehicle to

an authorized Kia dealer and have

the vehicle checked as soon as

possible.

Electric power steering (EPS)

✽

NOTICE

The following symptoms may occur

during normal vehicle operation:

The EPS warning light does not

illuminate.

The steering gets heavy immedi-

ately after turning the ignition

switch on. This happens as the sys-

tem performs the EPS system

diagnostics. When the diagnostics

are completed, the steering wheel

will return to its normal condition.

A click noise may be heard from

the EPS relay after the ignition

switch is turned to the ON or

LOCK (OFF) position.

The power steering uses a 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 motor driven power steering is

controlled by a power steering con-

trol unit which senses the steering

wheel torque and vehicle speed to

command the motor.

• When you operate the steering

wheel in low temperature, noise

may occur. If temperature rises, the

noise will likely disappear. This is a

normal condition.

•

The steering becomes heavier as

the vehicle’s speed increases and

becomes lighter as the vehicle’s

speed decreases for optimum steer-

ing control.

• When the vehicle is stationary, and

the steering wheel is turned all the

way to the left or right continuous-

ly, the steering wheel becomes

harder to turn. The power assist is

limited to protect the motor from

overheating.

•

A motor noise may be heard when

the vehicle is at a stop or at a low

driving speed.

Should you notice any change in the

effort required to steer during normal

vehicle operation, have the power

steering checked by an authorized

Kia dealer.

If the Electric Power Steering

System does not operate normally,

the warning light will illuminate on

the instrument cluster. The steer-

ing wheel may become difficult to

control or operate abnormally.

Take your vehicle to an authorized

Kia dealer and have the vehicle

checked as soon as possible.

As time passes, the steering wheel

will return to its normal condition.

When the charging system warning

light comes on due to the low volt-

age (When the alternator or bat-

tery) does not operate normally or

malfunctions), the steering wheel

may require increased steering

effort.

Tilt and telescopic steering 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.

pass in the mirror can compensate

for this difference when it knows the

Magnetic Zone in which it is operat-

ing. This is set either by the dealer or

by the user. The operating Zone

Numbers for North America are

shown in the figure on the following

section.

The NVS™ Mirror in your vehicle is

also equipped with a Z-Nav™

Compass that shows the vehicle

Compass heading in the Display

Window using the 8 basic cardinal
