Power steering system
E00607400084
When the engine is stopped, the power steering system will not
function and it will require greater manual effort to operate the
steering wheel. Keep this in mind in particular when towing the
vehicle. Never turn off the engine while driving.
Periodically check the power steering fluid level.
Active stability & traction control (ASTC)
E00613800168
The active stability & traction control (ASTC) takes overall
control of the anti-lock brake system, active stability control
function and active traction control function to maintain the
vehicle’s stability and traction. Please read this section in con-
junction with the pages on the anti-lock brake system, active
stability control function and active traction control function.

CAUTION
!
●
Do not hold the steering wheel in the fully turned
position (either left or right), for longer than 10 sec-
onds.
This can cause damage to the power steering system.
CAUTION
!
●
Do not over-rely on the ASTC. Even when the ASTC
is operating, there are limits to how far it can ensure
vehicle stability; reckless driving may lead to acci-
dents. Always drive carefully, taking account of the
road conditions.
●
Be sure to use the same specified type and size of
tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, there is a possibility
that the ASTC will not work properly.
