- HINT:
- The amount of power assistance may be decreased to prevent the motor and ECUs from overheating if the steering wheel is continuously turned when the vehicle is either stopped or driven at a low speed, or if the steering wheel is kept at either full lock position for a long time. In that case, the amount of power assistance will return to normal if the steering wheel is not turned for approximately 10 minutes with the engine idling.
