ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
HOW DOES ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING WORK
The electric power steering system assists
the brake system to help operate
advanced stability control and accident
avoidance systems.
If your vehicle loses electrical power or
detects a concern when you are driving the
system switches off and you retain normal
steering function. Additionally, whenever
the battery is disconnected or a new
battery is installed, you must drive your
vehicle a short distance before the system
relearns the strategy and reactivates all
systems.

PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: The electric power
steering system has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor the system. If
a fault is detected, a message displays
in the information display. Stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Switch the vehicle off. After at least 10
seconds, switch the vehicle on and
watch the information display for a
steering system warning message. If a
steering system warning message
returns, have the system checked as
soon as possible.
WARNING: If the system detects
an error, you may not feel a difference in
the steering, however a serious condition
may exist. Have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. Failure to do so may
result in loss of steering control.
Adapt your speed and driving behavior
according to reduced steering assist.
Extreme continuous steering may increase
the effort to steer. This occurs to prevent
internal overheating and damage to the
steering system. If this occurs, you will not
lose the ability to steer your vehicle
manually nor will it cause damage to the
system. Normal steering and driving allows
the system to cool down and steering
assist returns to normal.
Note: There is no fluid reservoir to check or
fill.
