STEERING

Electric Power Steering (3.7L, 5.0L

and 3.5L EcoBoost™ engines) (If

Equipped)

WARNINGS

The electric power steering system

has diagnostic checks that

continuously monitor the system to

ensure proper operation. When a system

error is detected a steering message will

appear in the information display.

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.

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.

Hydraulic Steering (6.2L engine)

(If Equipped)

To help prevent damage to the power

steering system, never hold the steering

wheel at its furthest turning points (until

it stops) for more than a few seconds

when the engine is running. If the power

steering system breaks down (or if the

engine is turned off), you can steer the

vehicle manually, but it takes more effort.

• Never hold the steering wheel at its

furthest turning points (until it stops)

for more than three to five seconds

when the engine is running.

• Do not operate the vehicle with a low

power steering pump fluid level (below

the MIN mark on the reservoir).

• Some noise is normal during operation.

If excessive, check for low power

steering pump fluid level before

seeking service by your dealer.

• Heavy or uneven efforts may be caused

by low power steering fluid. Check for

low power steering pump fluid level

before seeking service by your dealer.

• Do not fill the power steering pump

reservoir above the MAX mark on the

reservoir, as this may result in leaks

from the reservoir.

If the power steering system breaks down

(or if the engine is turned off), you can

steer the vehicle manually, but it takes

more effort.
