Directions for Use of Power Steering
1. Power steering is activated only while the engine is
running. While the engine is stopped, the vehicle
functions in the same manner as vehicle without
power steering.
2. When the steering wheel is turned all the way to the
stop, the relief valve is activated. Do not hold the
steering wheel in this position for a long period of time.
3. Avoid turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is
stopped, or tires may wear out sooner.
4. The power steering mechanism makes the steering
easier. Be careful when driving at high speeds.
