WARNINGS

off the engine. After at least 10 seconds,

reset the system by restarting the engine,

and watch the information display for a

steering message. If a steering message

returns, or returns while driving, take the

vehicle to your dealer to have it checked.

Obtain immediate service if a system

error is detected. You may not notice

any difference in the feel of your

steering, but a serious condition may exist.

Failure to do so may result in loss of

steering control.

Your vehicle is equipped with an electric

power-assisted steering system. There is

no fluid reservoir to check or fill.

If your vehicle loses electrical power while

you are driving (or if the ignition is turned

off), you can steer the vehicle manually,

but it takes more effort. Extreme

continuous steering may increase the effort

it takes for you to steer. This occurs to

prevent internal overheating and

permanent damage to your steering

system. If this should occur, you will neither

lose the ability to steer the vehicle

manually nor will it cause permanent

damage. Typical steering and driving

maneuvers will allow the system to cool

and steering assist will return to normal.

Steering Tips

If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:

• an improperly inflated tire

• uneven tire wear

• loose or worn suspension components

• loose or worn steering components

• improper vehicle alignment

A high crown in the road or high crosswinds

may also make the steering seem to

wander or pull.
