Avoid turning the steering wheel while stationary; try to turn the wheel only after the vehicle is moving. Stationary steering should only be used occasionally in special circumstances, such as maneuvering out of a tight spot. 2. When the vehicle is parked, the steering wheel should be returned to the central position to avoid stress on the suspension system and tires. 3. When making a U-turn, try to avoid turning the steering wheel to the extreme lock position.
