CAUTION! (Continued)
• 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

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" 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.
If the Electric Power Steering warn-
ing icon is displayed and the "SER-
VICE POWER STEERING" or the
"POWER STEERING ASSIST OFF
– SERVICE SYSTEM" message is
displayed within the Driver Information Display
(DID), this indicates the vehicle needs to be
taken to the dealer for service. Refer to "Driver
Information Display (DID)" in "Understanding
Your Instrument Panel" for further information.
NOTE:
• Even if the power steering assistance is
no longer operational, it is still possible to
steer the vehicle. Under these conditions
there will be a substantial increase in
steering effort, especially at low speeds
and during parking maneuvers.
• If the condition persists, see your autho-
rized dealer for service.
