Why is my Kia Picanto's steering wheel stiff?

I've noticed that my Kia Picanto's steering wheel is becoming increasingly stiff to turn. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

It sounds like your power steering fluid may be low. Check the fluid level and top it off if needed.

Another possibility could be a problem with the power steering pump. Have a mechanic check it out.

Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Low tire pressure can also make the steering feel stiff.
