General Information: Notes

• The steering wheel has three spokes. All vehicles are equipped with SRS (Supplemental Restraint System).
• The steering column has a shock absorbing mechanism and a tilt steering mechanism.
• Improved fuel consumption by reduction of engine load, and weight saving by decrease of the number of parts have been achieved with the introduction of the electric power steering system.
• Vehicle-speed sensitive electric power steering (whole range type) has been adopted. This system allows a light steering force during stationary steering maneuver or low speed driving, and a moderate steering force during medium or high speed driving.
• For vehicles with this system, the electric power steering-ECU controls the motor current according to the vehicle speed and steering force of the steering wheel.
• CAN* communication has been adopted in order to communicate with another ECUs for obtaining necessary information related to this control, achieving wiring harness saving and secure data communication.
