25 OPERATING THE VEHICLE B Directions for Use of Power Steering 1. Power steering is activated only while the engine is running. While the engine is stopped, the vehicle functions in the same manner as vehicle without power steering. 2. When the steering wheel is turned all the way to the stop, the relief valve is activated. Do not hold the steering wheel in this position for a long period of time. 3. Avoid turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is stopped, or tires may wear out sooner. 4. The power steering mechanism makes the steering easier. Be careful when driving at high speeds. B Driving in Reverse To avoid personal injury:
