LDS fluid reservoir.
The LDS fluidreservoir supplies the suspension circuit as well as the steering assistance
circuit (fluid: LDS TOTAL H50126).
Steering assistance pump with constant flow (engines: ES9A, DT17).
The power steering pump is driven by the accessories belt.
A stepper motor incorporated in the steering assistance valve modulates the steering assistance
as a function of the vehicle speed.
Regulation pressure: 115 ± 5 bars.
