FEATURES

Power steering is adopted in all vehicles to make the
steering system easier to handle.

•

A 4-spoke steering wheel is used.

•

The steering column has a shock absorbing
mechanism and a tilt mechanism.

•

A rack and pinion steering gear is used for steer-
ing that feels more direct and for ample handling
performance.

•

An oil pump responsive to engine RPM is used
for stable steering at high speeds.

•

The separate plastic resin oil reservoir is used to
reduce weight and to make the fluid level check-
ing easier.
