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

ball stud pin and the steering knuckle is clean, tighten the slot nut, torque: 27~39N.m. Install the cotter pin,
make sure of the correct installation
(7) Add appropriate amount of specified power steering fluid, bleed the power steering system
(8) Check the power steering pipeline system for leakage
(9) Check the front wheel alignment and front wheel left and right limit turn angle, adjust the toe in if
necessary and tighten the tie rod lock nut
(10) Check the position of the steering wheel. It is required that the steering wheel spokes are basically
symmetrical when the vehicle is driven straight ahead, reassemble the steering wheel if necessary
