5.6 Electric power steering
(EPS)
The EPS is a power steering system that
directly relies on the motor to provide auxiliary
torque. It is mainly composed of integrated
torque and angle sensor, motor, steering
electric control unit (ECU) and reducer.
The EPS ECU controls the motor assist torque
output in real time by detecting the driver’s
torque input, vehicle speed, engine speed and
other vehicle status signals, providing the best
steering assistance, ensuring the vehicle’s low-
speed steering agility and high-speed steering
stability, and improving driving comfort and
vehicle safety.
EPS indicator lamp
When the vehicle power is in the “ON” position,
the indicator lamp
will light up, and after
the self-test is completed, the system indicator
lamp will go out, indicating that the EPS works
normally.
If the indicator lamp lights up after engine start
or during driving, it indicates that the EPS
is faulty, and the instrument cluster display will
issue a warning “Please check EPS”. In this
case, park the vehicle in a safe place, try to
shut down the engine and start it again. If the
indicator lamp does not go out or it lights up
again during driving, do not continue driving.
Please contact the GAC Motor authorized
shop for inspection and repair in time.
Steering mode
The steering mode is divided into “light,
comfort and sport” modes. The light mode
has light hand force, the comfort mode has
moderate hand force, and the sport mode has
heavy hand force. The system defaults to “light”
mode. When the vehicle is stationary, release
the steering wheel, and set the steering mode
in the AV system “Application menu-Adaptive
vehicle dynamic control-Current mode settings-
Steering wheel force”.
CAUTION
When driving, it is forbidden to set steering
mode to prevent accidents.
