Electric Power Steering
Electric Power Steering Precautions
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.
