CONTROL SYSTEMS
Steering system
WARNING! The disabled hydraulic power steering increases
the effort necessary for turning the steering wheel.
It is not permitted to turn off the ignition and remove the key
from the ignition switch while the motor vehicle is moving. The
steering system shaft is blocked by the anti-theft device when the
key is removed, and the motor vehicle is not controlled.
If the steering system does not work properly, it is not allowed
to drive the vehicle or to tow it with a tow-rope. In this case use
two wheel towing or tow truck service.
The steering mechanism can be used only for a short time
when the hydraulic power steering is broken as a result of the
pump damage, the hose or the pump drive belt malfunction or
when the motor vehicle is towed as a result of engine stop. If the
power steering system lacks oil, the pump drive belt should be
removed, otherwise a pump seizure or belt rip is possible. Pay
special attention to coolant temperature when the pump drive belt
is removed to avoid engine overheating.
Long-term motor vehicle operation with disabled power
steering can lead to the premature wear of the steering system.
The total play of the steering system is inspected while the
engine is idling and the front wheels are positioned straight; the
steering wheel should be swung to both sides until the front wheels
turn. The total play cannot exceed 20°.
