Instruments and Controls Electric Power Steering Horn If the electric power steering fails or cannot operate the steering will appear very heavy, this will affect driving safety. IMPORTANT 1 To avoid possible SRS issues, please do not press with excessive force or hit the airbag cover when operating the horn. The electric power steering system only works when the vehicle is in READY mode. The system operates via a motor with assistance levels automatically adjusted based on vehicle speed, steering wheel torque and steering wheel angle.
IMPORTANT Holding the steering wheel on full lock for long periods will result in a reduction in power assistance causing a heavier feel to the steering for a short period of time. Press the horn button area on the steering wheel (as indicated by the arrow) to operate the horn. Note: The vehicle horn switch location and the driver’s airbag are located in close proximity on the steering wheel. The illustration shows the position of the horn switches, please ensure that you press in this area to avoid any potential conflict with the operation of the airbag. 27
