Electric Power Steering
(EPS) Indicator
This indicator normally comes on
when you turn the ignition to ON (II)
and goes off after the engine starts.
If it comes on at any other time,
there is a problem in the Electric
Power Steering system. If this
happens, stop the vehicle in a safe
place and turn off the engine. Reset
the system by restarting the engine.
The indicator will not turn off
immediately. If it does not go off
after driving a short distance, or
comes back on again while driving,
take the vehicle to your dealer to
have it checked. With the indicator
on, the EPS may be turned off,
making the vehicle harder to steer.
If you turn the steering wheel to the
full left or right position repeatedly
while stopping or driving at very low
speed, you may feel slightly harder
steering due to overheating of the
steering gear box.
Continuously driving under those
condition could damage the power
steering system.

a few seconds when you turn the

(the normal brake operates
properly). Have your vehicle
checked by your dealer.
