Driving Information
Steering
This vehicle has On-Demand
Electric-Assist Power Steering
instead of conventional full-time
hydraulic power steering. It uses
electricity supplied by the same
battery which is re-charged by the
regenerative braking system.
Because the system is On-Demand
Electric-Assist, energy is used only
when the steering wheel is turned,
or when the steering gear is used to
help isolate the forces of rough
roads. This system does not use
power steering fluid, making it
maintenance-free.
