STEERING

To help prevent damage to the power steering system:

•

Never hold the steering wheel at its furthest turning points (until it
stops) for more than a few seconds when the engine is running.

•

Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering fluid level
(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).

•

Some noise is normal during operation. If the noise is excessive, check
for a low power steering fluid level before seeking service by your
authorized dealer.

•

Heavy or uneven steering efforts may be caused by a low power
steering fluid level. Check for a low power steering fluid level before
seeking service by your authorized dealer.

•

Do not fill the power steering fluid reservoir above the MAX mark on
the reservoir.

If the power steering system breaks down (or if the engine is turned
off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more effort.
