Operation and works

7. Power Steering

Caution
While the engine is running, the steering
wheel can be operated very lightly. You
should carefully operate the steering wheel
when driving at a high speed. If not, an
accident may be caused.
Power steering is active only when the engine
is running. If the engine speed is low, the
steering wheel may be a little heavier but this
should not cause a problem in steering the
vehicle.
[Care for Handling]
When the steering wheel is turned fully, the
relief valve is activated and a noise will be
noted. If the noise sounds only for a short
time, it may be ignored. However, do not
continue driving if the noise continues.
Turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is
not moving accelerates damage of the tire or
wheel rim. Do not turn the steering wheel if
not required.
