IF THE EPAS SYSTEM INDICATOR COMES ON
Reasons for the indicator to come on
Comes on when there is a problem with EPAS systems.
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.
