2017 KIA Forte Owners Manual

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 electric power steering is con- trolled by the power steering control unit which senses the steering wheel torque and vehicle speed to com- mand the motor. The steering wheel 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, have the power steering checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

44

✽✽ NOTICE The following symptoms may occur during normal vehicle operation: • The steering effort is increased immediately after turning the igni- tion switch on. This happens as the system 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 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 continu- ously when the vehicle is not in motion. However, after a few min- utes, it will return to its normal condition.

• When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, noise may occur. If the temperature rises, the noise will likely disap- pear. This is a normal condition.

(Continued)

(Continued) • When the charging system warn- ing light comes on or the battery voltage is low (when the alternator or battery does not operate nor- mally), the steering wheel may get heavy and become difficult to con- trol operate abnormally.

If the Electric Power Steering System does not operate normally, the warn- ing light will illuminate on the instru- ment 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.

Tilt and telescoping steering Tilt 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.

The steering wheel should be posi- tioned so that it is comfortable for you to drive, while permitting you to see the instrument panel warning lights and gauges.

WARNING - Steering wheel adjustment

Never adjust the angle and height of the steering wheel while driving. You may lose steering control

Heated steering wheel (if equipped)

OYDM046397
With the ignition switch in the ON position, pressing the heated steer- ing wheel button warms the steering wheel. The indicator on the button will illuminate and notify you on the LCD display. To turn the heated steering wheel off, press the button once again. The indicator on the button will turn off and notify you on the LCD display. If you turn on the ignition again after turning off your engine in half an hour (after operating heater button), the heating system will be main- tained in its 'on' condition.

46

WARNING

If the steering wheel becomes too warm, turn the system off. The heated steering wheel may cause burns even at low tem- peratures, especially if used for long periods of time.

✽✽ NOTICE The heated steering wheel will turn off automatically approximately 30
minutes after the heated steering wheel is turned on.

CAUTION

(cid:129) Do not install any grip to oper- ate the steering wheel. This causes damage to the heated steering wheel system.

(cid:129) When cleaning the heated steering wheel,do not use an organic solvent such as paint thinner, benzene, alcohol and gasoline. Doing so may dam- age the surface of the steering wheel.

(cid:129) If the surface of the steering wheel is damaged by a sharp object, damage to the heated steering wheel components could occur.

MIRRORS Inside rearview mirror Adjust the rearview mirror so that the center view through the rear window is seen. Make this adjustment before you start driving. Do not place objects in the rear seat which would interfere with your vision through the rear window.

WARNING - Mirror

adjustment

Do not adjust the rearview mirror while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control.

Features of your vehicle

Electric chromic mirror (ECM) (if equipped) The electric rearview mirror automat- ically controls the glare from the headlights of the vehicles behind you in nighttime or low light driving condi- tions. The sensor mounted in the mir- ror senses the light level around the vehicle, and automatically controls the headlight glare from the vehicles behind you. When the engine is running, the glare is automatically controlled by the sensor mounted in the rearview mirror. Whenever the shift lever is shifted into reverse (R), the mirror will auto- matically go to the brightest setting in order to improve the drivers view behind the vehicle.

Day/night rearview mirror (if equipped)

Night

Day

OYDDCO2031

Make this adjustment before you start driving and while the day/night lever is in the day position. Pull the day/night lever toward you to reduce the glare from the headlights of the vehicles behind you during night driving. Remember that you lose some rearview clarity in the night position.
