Overview

The steering consists of a steering wheel, steering column, steering mechanism and tie rods. For the convenience of driving, the steering wheel is adjustable for height.

The steering wheel is fixed to the steering column and transfers effort on gear rack gear.

Rack steering each side is connected to the tie rod by means of a ball joint. The steering traction force transmitted through the steering tips and rotary fists to the front wheels. Rack and pinion steering has a slight stroke and has no backlash by the rotation of the steering wheel from lock to lock. The steering is virtually maintenance free, but should always check the condition of protective covers of spherical hinges.

To facilitate the rotation of the steering wheel mounted hydraulic power steering. It is composed of oil pump, tank and oil lines. The pump is actuated by engine Poly-V belt, delivers oil from the tank under pressure to a distributor located in the steering mechanism. The distributor is mechanically connected to the steering shaft and delivers the oil depending on the direction of rotation of the steering wheel in a corresponding cavity of the working cylinder. The oil pressure on the piston rack and thus creates a force that facilitates the rotation of the steering wheel. Simultaneously, the piston pushes out the oil on the other side of the working cylinder through the return conduit back into the tank.

In the central part of a steering wheel mounted airbag for the driver. Airbag driver's side is standard equipment on all models. The security system is actuated when the ignition is activated and deceleration sensor connected to the control unit. If there is a fault in the airbag in the instrument cluster warning lamp.

When performing any work on the car is equipped with an air bag, moving and storage cushion should observe the following precautions:

- Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running;

- Do not disconnect the battery terminal when in the car are the people;

- When performing any work on the security system, or holding Electric Car deactivate the security system;

- If the warning light alarm security system, you must immediately contact the station maintenance;

- Transport safety cushion is necessary to separate bag up;

- During transport to lay hands on the airbag;

- Do not throw the airbag;

- Do not dismantle the airbag;

- Not be exposed to air bag solvents or cleaning agents;

- Do not expose the air bag to a temperature of over 80 ?� C;

- Avoid contact of the airbag with an open flame;

- Do not install on the car's airbag defects or damage.

If you have side airbags mounted in the front seatbacks, use only recommended for front seat covers.

Before removing the air bag, do the following:

- Switch off the ignition and remove a wire of "weight" from the accumulator. When removing the wire of "weight" in the car should not be people;

- Insulate the wire of "weight" in order to avoid accidentally connecting wires;

- An one-disconnect the electrical connector for the power supply to the airbag;

- Establish forward wheels for movement directly.

Failure to comply may lead to failure of the airbag system.
