Which effect does towing with the engine stopped have on steering?

  • A.The power assistance is lost and the effort rises
  • B.The steering becomes lighter, since the pump is not driven and therefore offers no resistance to the movement
  • C.No effect
  • D.The steering locks after a short distance, because the fluid within the rack becomes trapped and prevents movement

Answer: A

Without the engine driving the pump there is no assistance and the effort at the wheel rises substantially, particularly at low speed. The brake servo is lost for the same reason. Both must be anticipated by anyone steering a towed vehicle. Tracing the requirement back to the physical constraint that produces it makes the answer follow. The order in which the effects act is what decides the outcome, so it is worth establishing first. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a formula, is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
