- My car has some characteristics that appear to be designed to
- forestall just that kind of problem. For example, if the
- speed exceeds 40 km/h and the steering angle sensor shows
- more than 35 degree steering angle for more than 80 seconds,
- a separate circuit assumes that the sensor is broken and
- turns off the variable ratio steering.
