Steering

Caution
To avoid damage to the
steering system, do not
drive over curbs, parking
barriers, or similar objects at
speeds greater than 3 km/h
(1 mph). Use care when
driving over other objects
such as lane dividers and
speed bumps. Damage
caused by misuse of the
vehicle is not covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Electric Power Steering
The vehicle is equipped with
an electric power steering
system, which reduces the
amount of effort needed to
steer the vehicle. It does not
have power steering fluid.
Regular maintenance is not
required.
If the vehicle experiences a
system malfunction and loses
power steering, greater
steering effort may be
required. Power steering
assist also may be reduced if
you turn the steering wheel as
far as it can turn and hold it
there with force for an
extended period of time.
See your dealer if there is a
problem.
Curve Tips
Take curves at a reasonable
speed.
Reduce speed before
entering a curve.
Maintain a reasonable
steady speed through the
curve.
Wait until the vehicle is out
of the curve before
accelerating gently into the
straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
There are some situations
when steering around a
problem may be more
effective than braking.
Holding both sides of the
steering wheel allows you to
turn 180 degrees without
removing a hand.
