function, but steering force must be
boosted.

4.

Since the power steering oil also serves
as the lubricant of the system, therefore
you are not allowed to drive your car
when the liquid level is very low or there
is no hydraulic oil in the liquid reservoir;
driving at this time shall not only do
serious damage to the steering oil pump
and other spare parts, but may also lead
to the malfunction of the steering system.
