Is it safe to drive when the power steering warning light is on?

The power steering warning light on the dashboard indicates that it is not recommended to continue driving, as doing so may pose certain safety hazards. Here is some information about the power steering system: 1. The power steering system in a car provides assistance for steering. If the power steering system fails, the steering wheel will become significantly heavier. 2. There are three types of power steering systems: electric power steering (EPS), hydraulic power steering (HPS), and electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS). 3. The electric power steering system relies directly on an electric motor to provide steering assistance and does not include hydraulic components or a power steering pump. During regular maintenance, it is important to inspect the power steering system. If it has hydraulic components, the power steering fluid should be replaced periodically.
