Power steering has been adopted in all vehicles to make the steering system easier to handle.

• A 4-spoke steering wheel is used. <2000-SOHC and 2400>

• The 3-spoke steering wheel with the steering shift switch is installed to improve the shifting operation. <2000-DOHC>

• A steering column has a shock absorbing mechanism and a tilt steering mechanism.

• Sound absorbing material is added to the shaft cover on the steering shaft. <2000-DOHC>

• Integral-type rack and pinion gear with high rigidity and excellent response is used.

• A vane type pump with a fluid flow rate control system which change steering effort according to the engine speed is used.

• The separate plastic resin oil reservoir is used to reduce weight and to make the fluid level checking easier.

• The cooler tube assembly is installed on the power steering fluid line to improve the cooling performance of the power steering fluid. <2000-DOHC and 2400>
