Variable-Assist Electric Power Steering

---

Equinox 1LS, 1LT, 2LT and LTZ models feature variable-assist electric power steering that helps provide precise control and responsiveness.

Electric power steering (EPS) features electronic sensors and computer controls that measure and react to thousands of inputs per second, adjusting steering assistance to help the rack-and-pinion system operate smoothly over a variety of road conditions.

This feature enabled engineers to tune the steering with an electronic controller to provide the driver with different driving characteristics, depending on the situation. In a parking lot, variable-assist EPS makes Equinox easy to turn. On the highway, it provides "stiffness" for a better feel of the road without much steering effort.
