Electric power steering system

The electric power steering system reduces the effort required
to turn the steering wheel. It operates while the engine is run-
ning.
CAUTION
!
● Do not stop the engine while driving. With the
engine stopped, the steering action would become
extremely heavy and an unexpected accident might
occur.
NOTE
● If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel fully to either
side (while parking, for example), a protective function
that prevents the system from overheating will be acti-
vated, making the steering action gradually heavier. In this
event, turn the steering wheel as little as possible for a
while. When the system's temperature decreases, the
steering action will return to normal.
● If you turn the steering wheel while the vehicle is station-
ary with its headlamps on, the headlamps may grow dim.
This phenomenon does not indicate a fault. The head-
lamps will return to their original brightness after a short
while.
