quire increased steerinþ eýýort.

The motor driven power steerinþ is

controlled by the power steerinþ con‐

trol unit which senses the steerinþ

wheel torque, steerinþ wheel position

and vehicle speed to command the mo‐

tor.

The steerinþ wheel becomes heavier as

the vehicle’s speed increases and be‐

comes liþhter as the vehicle’s speed de‐

creases ýor better control oý the steer‐

inþ wheel.

Should you notice any chanþe in the eý‐

ýort required to steer durinþ normal ve‐

hicle operation, have the system

checked by a proýessional workshop.

Kia recommends to visit an authorized

Kia dealer/service partner.

• The EçS warninþ liþht does not il‐

luminate.

• The steerinþ eýýort is hiþh imme‐

Kia recommends to visit an au‐

thorized Kia dealer/service part‐

ner.

• The steerinþ eýýort increases iý

the steerinþ wheel is rotated con‐

tinuously when the vehicle is not

in motion. However, aýter a ýew

minutes, it will return to its normal
