POWER STEERING 1. Firmly apply the parking brake. 2. Automatic transmission models: Move the selector lever to the P (Park) position. Manual transmission models: Place the shift lever in the R (Reverse) position. When parking on an uphill grade, place the shift lever in the 1 (Low gear) position. 3. To help prevent the vehicle from rolling into the street when parked on a sloping drive way, it is a good practice to turn the wheels as illustrated. 1 HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB: k HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO 3 CURB: k Turn the wheels toward the side of the road so the vehicle will move away from the center of the road if it moves. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the key. The power assisted steering uses a hydraulic pump, driven by the engine, to assist steering. If the engine stops or the drive belt breaks, you will still have control of the vehicle. However, much greater steering effort is needed, especially in sharp turns or at low speeds. WARNING If the engine is not running or is turned off while driving, the power assist for the steering will not work. Steering will be much harder to operate. Turn the wheels into the curb and move the vehicle forward until the curb side wheel gently touches the curb. 2 HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB: k Turn the wheels away from the curb and move the vehicle back until the curb side wheel gently touches the curb.
