anyone on 2.0 can clarify?

Mine dont have. The only time I saw it on is when I almost skid for the first time, and when you turn off the EPS. But when you turn off the EPS, it will show EPS off.

Only 2 common types of balancing:

A) Off-wheel balancing a.k.a. using balancing machine - This sort of balancing will usually only be good for speeds of up to 60~80km/h, depending on the speed limitation of the balancing machine.

B) On-wheel balancing a.k.a. jacking up your car with a driver inside running speeds of up to 110~140km/h - This sort of balancing requires an experienced person to accurately call out the proper spots for the lead weights to be inserted.

NOTE - As far as I'm aware, there is no such thing as a perfectly balanced wheel for all speeds. Why? If you were to read up on Science/Physics, you'll come to know that every element in this universe has a frequency in which it will react to (depending on the frequency range and composition of the atom molecules, etc.).

Anyways, my point is, go look for a reputable tyre shop/alignment specialist to perform on wheel balancing for your vehicle. But don't expect a perfectly balanced wheel at all speed range. Be happy as long as the wheels for vibrate between speeds of 70~160km/h (as these are the common speed range for our vehicles and road conditions in general).

PS - Just my 2-cents & good luck!

EPS can be turned ON and OFF for FORTE 2.0 meh?
I thought that's only for TCS aka ESC aka VSC aka Traction/Stability Control Systems?

EPS = Electronic Power Steering, right?

I think he jumbled up, I jumbled up. Yes. ESC can be turned off. EPS cannot turn off.

and in terms of EPS, Kia's version is the MDPS

@zerohunter

hey bro.... ur car is 4 months old i dont think your absorbers problem.
Since you found out some blackie oily stick on your fender then it will be your tyre rubber..

Rota Rims right? 16x8JJ offset cant found on net. but most of the rota rims offset are quite marvelous.
i saw 16x8JJ +20 in the market too...

You may look for 16x7JJ +40 to +35.
hope this help. Cheers

Here's what I found on the net (after a 5 minute search/read):

Electric power steering (EPS) system warning light (if equipped)
This warning light illuminates after the ignition key is turned to the ON position and then it will go off when the engine starts.
This light also comes on when the EPS has malfunctioned. If it comes on while driving, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

noted, thanks

thanks for advise

Like to share the news that one particular bank has now stopped Hire purchase loan for 8 & 9 years and only doing up to 7 years maximum. They are acting in line with Bank Negara's "Responsible Financial Guideline" to reduce individual debt ratio period.

However, other banks are still not yet affected by this ruling at this point in time, and I am not sure if they might follow suit soon. There is a possibility that Bank Negara may impose higher restrictions in the months to come by imposing a margin ceiling of 80-85% instead of the current 90%. Therefore, those who wish to borrow to the full, my advice is better to lock in your loan now instead of later.

Thanks, then mine is malfunctioning at least the at the indicator level. the steering still is light and hard at right timing.

Thanks rompers!

What's your milelage and years of owning?

2 days 250k :S

Wow! U are Pro!
Thanks for the detail explanation ^^

Thank u , really need to go for on wheel balancing next round

finally got new shoes for my 2 1/2 year old forte..MC5 @ 350 per piece at Weng Tat Tyre Subang. Also had to fix my long-standing left pull problem...RM 65 per chamber (2 of them -1.x)..now it doesn't makan left like before..have to do more testing during the week.

MC5 really quiet compared to my previous KH17 (awfully noisy).

Send your car to SC bro..dont play2 with the warnings. Let they check the error codes when they diagnose your car so that they can pin point the actual problem & solve it. Who knows the indicator is functioning well right?

2days? second hand car? Is the warranty over? go back to SC and let them pull out the error codes. then will know what's the problem?...worst case, need to change MDPS...est 6K to 7K.

The quietness is awesome isn't it. Try out the tyre compound on road sections which normally gives you the vibration, the glong noise last time with stock tyre. I can never believe why the Atlantics V7 is so hard that it always makes me think that the car is going to fall apart very soon when I go through a certain section of roads. With the new tyre, no more hurtfull butt.
