Power Steering - Porsche Boxster Owner's Manual

Power Steering

Warning!
Risk of accident resulting in serious personal
injury or death. When the engine is stopped
(e.g. when being towed) or the hydraulic
system fails, there is no assistance for
steering. Therefore, substantially more force
will have to be exerted in order to steer.
Exercise great care when being towed.
Have the fault remedied at your nearest
authorized Porsche dealer.
Note
The flow noise heard at full steering lock is system
related and does not indicate a defect in the
steering system.
Checking hydraulic uid
Please observe the chapter "EXERCISE
EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON
YOUR VEHICLE" on page 208.
The reservoir is in the engine compartment.
Regular checking of hydraulic fluid is part of
servicing.
