hanical steering
Electro-mechanical power steering assists
the driver when st
eering.
Electro-mechanical power steering adapts
electronically to the speed of the car, torque
and turning angle.

will be required to turn the steering wheel.

power steering only works when the engine
is running.
In city traffic you do not need to turn so much
