Power Steering
NOTE
The steering may feel rigid if you
continuously attempt to steer when the
vehicle is stopped or moving
extremely slowly. This has been
designed to protect the system and
doesn’t indicate a malfunction. If you
don’t attempt to steer for a minute,
power steering will be restored.
NOTE
The power steering system is
inoperable when the malfunction
indicator light illuminates. Manual
steering is possible, but requires more
physical effort.
