overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of
time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur,
refrain from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the engine
(except hybrid vehicle) or hybrid system (hybrid vehicle) off. The EPS sys-
tem should return to normal within 10 minutes.
