Other information:
While the engine is running, this warning
light illuminates when a malfunction has
been detected in the electric power steering
system.
CAUTION
When the power steering warning
light is illuminated, there may be
more resistance when the steering
wheel is operated...
The ABS prevents the lock-up of wheels
which may occur during sudden braking or
braking on slippery road surfaces. This
helps prevent the loss of steering control
and directional stability caused by wheel
lock-up.
When the ABS is operating, you may hear
a chattering noise or feel a slight vibration
in the brake pedal...
