Chapter 8 Power Steering SystemSection 1 Power Steering System3. Precaution: (1) Precaution for steering system
Make sure of the correct replacement of parts, incorrect replacement might affect the performance of the
steering system and lead to driving accidents.
(2) Precaution for SRS System
This vehicle is equipped with SRS (Supplemental Restraint System), driver side air bag and front passenger
side air bag.
Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause the unexpected deployment of
the air bag during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident.1. Power Steering System Description Power Steering System consists of the steering wheel, steering transmit device, power steering fixed device
and steering pipelines. The steering gear is rack and pinion type.2. Major parameters for steering system:Power Steering System-Power Steering System4-67Item
