IF THE EPAS SYSTEM INDICATOR COMES ON

Reasons for the indicator to come on

Comes on when there is a problem with EPAS system.

If you depress the accelerator pedal repeatedly to increase the engine speed while the

engine is idling, the indicator comes on, and sometimes the steering wheel becomes

harder to operate.

What to do when the indicator comes on

stop the vehicle in safe place and restart the engine.

If the indicator comes on and stay on, immediately have your vehicle inspected by a dealer.

NOTICE:

If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an extremely low speed, or hold the steering wheel on the full left

or right position for a while, the system heats up. The system goes into a protective mode, and limits its

performance. the steering wheel becomes harder and harder to operate. Once the system cools down,

EPAS system is restored. Repeated operation under these condition can eventually damage the system.
