Your Driving, the Road, and the
Vehicle
Electric Power 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.
Towing
Towing Your Vehicle
Consult your dealer/retailer or a professional towing
service if the disabled vehicle needs to be towed.
Recreational Vehicle Towing
Recreational vehicle towing means towing the vehicle
behind another vehicle
– such as behind a motorhome.
The two most common types of recreational vehicle
towing are known as dinghy towing and dolly towing.
Dinghy towing is towing the vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground. Dolly towing is towing the vehicle with
two wheels on the ground and two wheels up on a
device known as a dolly.
