The power steering system includes a hydraulic steering gear, power steering pump, reservoir and fluid cooler on petrol versions.
The steering system uses a conventional rack and pinion power steering mounted on the rear of the subframe.
The TD4 diesel engine and i6 gasoline engine use different power steering pumps. The variable displacement vane pump on the diesel version is used to increase engine efficiency. The petrol engine version uses a fixed displacement vane pump for improved control accuracy and reactive action. Both pumps have a high flow rate, which improves the dynamic performance of the steering.
Gasoline vehicles are equipped with a fluid cooler that cools the power steering fluid from the fixed displacement pump.
