NOTE:
1) A squealing noise may be heard just after very cold engine start (-20°C or less), caused by fluid characteristics at extreme low temperatures. This is not a malfunction.
2) A slight "beat noise" is produced by the oil pump; this is note malfunction. (This noise occurs particularly when a stationary steering effort is made.)
3) A slight vibration may be felt when a stationary steering effort is made due to the condition of the road surface. To check whether the vibration actually exists or not, test-drive the vehicle on a dry concrete or asphalt surface. A very slight amount of vibration is not a malfunction.
