normally. In this happens, the steering wheel can still be operated, however, the
operation may feel heavy compared to normal, or the steering wheel could vibrate

or moving extremely slowly will cause the power steering system to go into
protective mode which will make the steering feel heavy, but this does not indicate
a problem. If this occurs, park the vehicle safely and wait several minutes for the
system to return to normal.
