Introduction
The power steering is not hydraulic but elec-
tromech
anical. The advantage of this steer-
ing is that it foes not need flexible hydraulic
pipes, hydraulic oil, pump, filter or other
parts. The electromechanical system saves
fuel. Whereas a hydraulic system needs con-
tinuous oil pressure, electromechanical
steering only needs power when it is used.
In vehicles with electromechanical steering,
the assisted steering function automatically
adjusts according to vehicle speed, steering
wheel torque and wheel orientation. The
power steering only works when the engine
is running.
WARNING
If the power steering does not work, you will
need much more s
trength to turn the wheel.
This has a considerable effect on vehicle
safety.
●
The power steering only works when the
engine is running.

Never allow the vehicle to move when the
