WARNING: The electric power steering system has diagnostic

checks that continuously monitor the system to ensure proper

operation of the electronic system. When an electronic error is

detected, a message will be displayed in the information display.

If this happens, stop the vehicle in a safe place, and turn 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.

WARNING: 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.

When a steering system error is detected, steering messages may appear

in the information display.

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/pull.
