Place the vehicle on a horizontal surface with a level surface, turn the steering wheel to set the steered wheels to the straight-ahead position.
Start the engine and let it idle.
Nominal value: 750 + 100 min⁻¹.
Attach a spring dynamometer to the outer circumference of the steering wheel and measure the force required to turn it from a straight-ahead position to the left and right (within 1.5 turns). Also note that there is no change in the force expended when turning the steering wheel.
Nominal value: the force required to turn the steering wheel is no more than 29 N.
Permissible deviation: no more than 5.9 N.
