Electric Power Steering - Dodge Challenger 2015 Operating Information Manual

WARNING! (Continued)
• Driving through standing water limits your
vehicle's braking capabilities, which in-
creases stopping distances. Therefore, af-
ter driving through standing water, drive
slowly and lightly press on the brake pedal
several times to dry the brakes.
• Failure to follow these warnings may result
in injuries that are serious or fatal to you,
your passengers, and others around you.
CAUTION!
• Always check the depth of the standing
water before driving through it. Never drive
through standing water that is deeper than
the bottom of the tire rims mounted on the
vehicle.
• Determine the condition of the road or the
path that is under water and if there are
any obstacles in the way before driving
through the standing water.

CAUTION! (Continued)
• Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when
driving through standing water. This will
minimize wave effects.
• Driving through standing water may cause
damage to your vehicle's drivetrain com-
ponents. Always inspect your vehicle's flu-
ids (i.e., engine oil, transmission, axle,
etc.) for signs of contamination (i.e., fluid
that is milky or foamy in appearance) after
driving through standing water. Do not
continue to operate the vehicle if any fluid
appears contaminated, as this may result
in further damage. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
• Getting water inside your vehicle's engine
can cause it to lock up and stall out, and
cause serious internal damage to the en-
gine. Such damage is not covered by the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING

The electric power steering system will give you
good vehicle response and increased ease of
maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will
vary its assist to provide light efforts while
parking and good feel while driving. If the elec-
tric steering system experiences a fault that
prevents it from providing assist, you will still
have the ability to steer the vehicle manually.
Alternate electric power steering efforts can be
selected through the Uconnect® System. Refer
to "Customer Programmable Features" or "Per-
formance Control — If Equipped" within
"Uconnect Settings" in "Understanding Your In-
strument Panel" chapter for further information.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist
could pose a safety risk to yourself and
others. Service should be obtained as soon
as possible.
