• Engine-speed-sensing power steering has been adopted for vehicles with the L3 Turbo, L5 engine.

• For vehicles with the MZR-CD 2.2 engine, excellent steering feel and smooth handling from low to high speeds is provided due to the adoption of electro hydraulic power assist steering (EHPAS). Engine load is reduced, improving fuel economy, due to the adoption of an electric power steering oil pump.

• A steering column with a tilt/telescope mechanism has been adopted on all models for improved operability.

• With the adoption of a steering shaft with an energy absorbing mechanism, safety has been improved.
