Variable Gear Ratio (VGR) Power Steering: Notes

All models are equipped with a VGR power steering system.

The steering gear ratio of this system is 1:19 at around the straight-ahead position for higher stability during high-speed driving.

Near the right and left maximum steering angle positions, the gear ratio is made smaller than that of the straight-ahead position so that the system can respond quickly to steering wheel inputs.
