Chevrolet Trax: Steering
Electric Power Steering
If the vehicle has electric power
steering, it does not have power
steering fluid. Regular maintenance
is not required.
If power steering assist is lost due
to a system malfunction, the vehicle
can be steered, but may require
increased effort. See your dealer if
there is a problem.
If the steering wheel is turned until it
reaches the end of its travel, and is
held in that position for an extended
period of time, power steering assist
may be reduced.
If the steering assist is used for an
extended period of time, power
assist may be reduced.
Normal use of the power steering
assist should return when the
system cools down.
Hydraulic Power Steering
If the vehicle has the hydraulic
power steering, it may require
maintenance. See Power Steering
Fluid (1.4L L4 Engine) on
page 10-20 or Power Steering Fluid
(1.8L L4 Engine)
If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or a
system malfunctions, the vehicle
can be steered but may require
increased effort.
Caution
If the steering wheel is turned
until it reaches the end of its
travel, and is held in that position
for more than 15 seconds,
damage may occur to the power
steering system and there may be
loss of power steering assist.
See your dealer if there is a
problem.
Curve Tips
- Take curves at a reasonable
speed.
- Reduce speed before entering a
curve.
- Maintain a reasonable steady
speed through the curve.
- Wait until the vehicle is out of
the curve before accelerating
gently into the straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
- There are some situations when
steering around a problem may
be more effective than braking.
- Holding both sides of the
steering wheel allows you to turn
180 degrees without removing
a hand.
- Antilock Brake System (ABS)
allows steering while braking.
