Jump start terminal point: EPS 12 V

The jump start terminal point is located to the right side of the engine compartment beside the spring strut dome. When EPS is used in conjunction with Integral Active Steering, the EPS unit is supplied with power via the jump start terminal point.

This creates a relationship between engine and transmission.
