Your engine is fitted with iridium–tipped
spark plugs.
NOTICE
Use only iridium–tipped spark plugs.
Do not adjust gaps for engine perfor-
mance or smooth drivability.
The electric power steering system, us-
ing an electric motor, assists the turn-
ing of the steering wheel.
In the following cases, you may feel the
steering becoming heavy. But it is not
a malfunction.
When maneuvering or turning frequently
over a long time
The power steering effect will be re-
duced to prevent the system from over-
heating. Avoid turning the steering
wheel, or stop the vehicle and turn the
ignition key to “ACC” or “LOCK” posi-
tion. The system will become cool in
about 10 minutes.
NOTICE
Frequent maneuvering and turning
over a long time may cause damage
to the system in which the mecha-
nism prevents overheating of the elec-
tric power steering system.
When the battery is discharged
Check the battery’s condition. If neces-
sary, recharge or replace the battery.
For details, see “Checking battery con-
dition” on page 262 in Section 7−3.
INFORMATION
When the steering wheel is turned, a
motor operating sound (whining
sound) may be head. This occurs
when the power steering motor works
and is not defective.
