Steering Wheel Return Check

PROCEDURE
Check the steering wheel return and confirm the following points:
a. The force required to turn the steering wheel and the wheel return should be the same for the left and right for both moderate turns and sharp turns.
b. When the steering wheel is turned 90° and held for a couple of seconds while the vehicle is being driven at 35 km/h (22 mph.) the steering wheel should return at least 70% when it is released.

NOTE: If the steering wheel is turned very quickly, the steering wheel operation may be momentarily difficult. This is not a malfunction.
