Kia Cee'd: Steering wheel / Electronic power steering
Power steering uses the motor to assist
you in steering the vehicle. If the engine
is off or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, the vehicle may
still be steered, but it will require
increased steering effort.
The electronic power steering 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 steering
wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend that
the system be checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.
✽ NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur during
normal vehicle operation:
- The EPS warning light does not illuminate.
- The steering effort is high immediately
after turning the ignition switch on.
This happens as the system performs
the EPS system diagnostics. When the
diagnostics is 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.
- Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving
speed.
- The steering effort increases if the
steering wheel is rotated continuously
when the vehicle is not in motion.
However, after a few minutes, it will
return to its normal conditions.
- If an error is detected in the electric
power steering system, EPS will stop
assisting driver in steering the vehicle to
prevent accidents and the warning light
on the cluster will illuminate or blink.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer as
soon as possible.
- When you operate the steering wheel in
low temperature, abnormal noise could
occur. If temperature rises, the noise
will disappear. This is a normal condition.
- When the vehicle is stationary, if you
turn the steering wheel all the way to
the left or right continuously, the
steering wheel becomes heavier from
the end. This is not a system malfunction
but for your safety. As time passes,
the steering wheel returns to its
normal condition.
- When the charging system warning
light comes on or the voltage is low
(When the alternator (or battery) does
not operate normally or it malfunctions),
the steering wheel may get
heavy and become difficult to control
operate abnormally.
A tilt and telescopic steering wheel
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.
