Power steering system
E00607400127
When the engine is stopped, the power steering system will not
function and it will require greater manual effort to operate the
steering wheel. Keep this in mind in particular when towing the
vehicle. Never turn off the engine while driving.
Periodically check the power steering fluid level.
CAUTION
!●Do not hold the steering wheel in the fully turned
position (either left or right), for longer than 10 sec-
onds.
This can cause damage to the power steering system.

Battery
E01001201277
The condition of the battery is very important for quick starting
of the engine and proper functioning of the vehicle’s electrical
system. Regular inspection and care are especially important in
cold weather.NOTE●After replacing the battery, the electronic control system
data for the automatic transmission, etc., will be erased.
As a result, shift shocks may occur.
Shift shocks will become smoother after several changes
in speed.
●Memory data for settings made by the user may be erased
when the battery is replaced. If this happens, establish the
settings again using the relevant procedures.
