•  Never   adjust   the   angle    of

You  may   lose  your  steering
control and cause  severe per-
sonal injury or accidents.
If the vehicle is parked for extended
periods   outside   in   cold   weather
(below -10°C/14°F), the power steer-
ing   may  require   increased   effort
when the engine is first started. This
is caused by increased fluid viscosity
due to the cold weather and does not
indicate a malfunction.
When   this  happens,   increase   the
engine RPM by depressing accelera-
tor until the RPM reaches 1,500 rpm
then release or let the engine idle for
two or three minutes to warm up the
fluid.
After
adjusting,
push
the
steering  wheel   both  up  and
down to be certain it is locked
in position.

The manual and the car is good. Your web site is like your dealers. Intrustive and obnoxious. Keep it simple and butt out of my life.
