178 STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING! • After adjustment, to the desired height, check to be sure that the lever is locked. • Do not attempt to adjust the steering wheel while driving. This can be dangerous. POWER STEERING Your vehicle is equipped with power assisted steering as standard equipment. The power assisted steering system of your vehicle provides mechanical steering capability in the event power assist is lost. If for some reason the hydraulic pressure is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these conditions you will observe a substantial increase in steering effort. Should loss of hydraulic pressure occur take your vehicle to an authorized dealer. WARNING! Never turn off the engine while the vehicle is moving. Your ability to control the vehicle may be seriously reduced. CAUTION! Do not leave the steering wheel in the fully turned position. This can cause the power steering pump to be damaged due to poor lubrication.
