Turn the wheels toward the side of the
road so the vehicle will move away
from the center of the road if it moves.
4. Push the ignition switch to the OFF po-
sition.
WARNING
If the engine is not running or is turned off
while driving, the power assist for the steer-
ing will not work. Steering will be much
harder to operate.
The power assisted steering uses a hy-
draulic pump, driven by the engine, to as-
sist steering.
If the engine stops or the drive belt
breaks, you will still have control of the
vehicle. However, much greater steering
effort is needed, especially in sharp turns
or at low speeds.
BRAKING PRECAUTIONS
The brake system has two separate hy-
draulic circuits. If one circuit malfunc-
tions, you will still have braking at two
wheels.
You may feel a small click and hear a
sound when the brake pedal is fully de-
pressed slowly. This is not a malfunction
and means the brake assist mechanism is
operating properly.
Vacuum assisted brakes
The brake booster aids braking by using
engine vacuum. If the engine stops, you
can stop the vehicle by depressing the
brake pedal. However, greater foot pres-
sure on the brake pedal will be required
to stop the vehicle and the stopping dis-
tance will be longer.
When the brake pedal is depressed slowly
and firmly, you may hear a clicking noise
and feel a slight pulsation. This is normal
and indicates that the Brake Assist
System is operating.
Wet brakes
When the vehicle is washed or driven
through water, the brakes may get wet.
As a result, your braking distance will be
