The power steering system consists of an oil pump, a compensation tank and a pipeline. The steering column is trauma-safe and compresses upon impact.
For better cooling of the hydraulic fluid, 16-valve engines are equipped with an additional cooling pipe between the steering gear housing and the reservoir.
The rack and pinion steering does not require maintenance, except for checking the condition of the sealing cuffs.
