POWER STEERING SYSTEM
Power Assisted System (Power Steering)
D: VARIABLE GEAR RATIO (VGR) POWER STEERING
The OUTBACK model is equipped with a VGR power steering system.
The steering gear ratio of this system is 1:19 at around the straight-ahead position for higher sta-
bility during high-speed driving.
Near the right and left maximum steering angle positions, the gear ratio is made smaller than that
of the straight-ahead position so that the system can respond quickly to steering wheel inputs.
