power steering
"...my belt had slipped, so my power steering did not work."
Power steering makes it easier to turn the steering wheel of a car. If it stops working, it can be very hard to steer, especially when you're going slowly.
Power steering is a system that helps drivers steer the vehicle by using hydraulic or electric actuators to reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel. When the power steering fails, it can make steering the vehicle significantly more difficult, especially at low speeds.
