Power Steering

Hydraulic Power Steering

Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS) is
standard equipment on this vehicle.
The power steering system will give
good vehicle response and increased
ease of maneuverability in tight
spaces. The system will provide me-
chanical steering capability if power
assist is lost.
If the power assist is interrupted, it
will still be possible to steer your ve-
hicle. Under these conditions, you will
feel a substantial increase in steering
effort, especially at very low vehicle
speeds and during parking maneu-
vers.
NOTE: Review the following to avoid
damaging the power steering system:
• Prolonged or excessive turns of the
steering wheel can increase the
steering fluid temperature.
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
should be avoided when possible as
damage to the power steering pump
may occur.
• Fill the power steering fluid reservoir
once its level is under the MIN mark
in the reservoir. Do not drive the ve-
hicle with the fluid level below MIN .
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced
power steering assist could pose a
safety risk to yourself and others.
Check the following if the vehicle is
experiencing steering difficulty:
• Tires for proper inflation
• Tires for even wear
• Loose or worn suspension compo-
nents
• Loose or worn steering components
• Proper wheel alignment
