Attention:
- If the power steering indicator light comes on while driving, the power steering is switched off. This will result in increased steering effort, especially on sharp turns and at low speeds. Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and contact a service station.
- In some cases, the EPAS power steering malfunction indicator lamp may be influenced by external factors (in relation to the power steering) factors. If the warning light comes on, first stop as soon as possible, observing the traffic safety rules. Turn off the ignition for about 20 seconds, then turn on the ignition again. If the warning light remains on, contact a service station.
Electric power steering is designed to reduce the effort required to operate the steering wheel.
When intensively maneuvering the vehicle on the spot, the effort required to control the steering wheel may increase. This is not a sign of a malfunction, but is a consequence of the restrictions imposed by the power steering control system in order to prevent the power steering motor from overheating. This circumstance is not a reason for repair. When driving resumes, the power steering returns to normal.
The electric power steering cannot effectively reduce steering effort when the battery is discharged. The power steering function returns to normal after the battery is charged.
If the indicator lamp lights up when the engine is running, this may indicate a malfunction in the electric power steering system. This will result in increased effort on the steering wheel, especially on sharp turns and at low speeds. To check the functionality of the electric power steering, contact a service station.
