Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering - Jeep WRANGLER 2020 Owner's Manual

WARNING!
Ensure the stabilizer/sway bar is reconnected
before driving on hard surfaced roads or at
speeds above 18 mph (29 km/h); a
disconnected stabilizer/sway bar may
contribute to the loss of vehicle control, which
could result in serious injury. Under certain
circumstances, the front stabilizer/sway bar
enhances vehicle stability and assists with
vehicle control. The system monitors vehicle
speed and will attempt to reconnect the
stabilizer/sway bar at speeds over 18 mph
(29 km/h). This is indicated by a flashing or
solid "Sway Bar Indicator Light." Once vehicle
speed is reduced below 14 mph (22 km/h),
the system will once again attempt to return
to off-road mode.
To disconnect the stabilizer/sway bar, shift to
either 4H or 4L and push the SWAY BAR switch
to obtain the off-road position. Refer to
"Four-Wheel Drive Operation" in this section for
further information. The "Sway Bar Indicator
Light" will flash until the stabilizer/sway bar has
been fully disconnected.
NOTE:
The stabilizer/sway bar may be torque locked
due to left and right suspension height differ-
ences. This condition is due to driving surface
differences or vehicle loading. In order for the
stabilizer/sway bar to disconnect/reconnect,
the right and left halves of the bar must be
aligned. This alignment may require that the
vehicle be driven onto level ground or rocked
from side to side.
To return to on-road mode, push the SWAY BAR
switch again.
WARNING!
If the stabilizer/sway bar will not return to
on-road mode, the "Sway Bar Indicator Light"
will flash in the instrument cluster and vehicle
stability may be reduced. Do not attempt to
drive the vehicle over 18 mph (29 km/h).
Driving faster than 18 mph (29 km/h) with a
disconnected stabilizer/sway bar may
contribute to the loss of vehicle control, which
could result in serious injury.
STARTING AND OPERATING

ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING

Your vehicle is equipped with an
electro-hydraulic power steering system that
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 electro-hydraulic power steering
system experiences a fault that prevents it from
providing power steering assist, then the
system will provide mechanical steering
capability.
CAUTION!
Extreme steering maneuvers may cause the
electrically driven pump to reduce or stop
power steering assistance in order to prevent
damage to the system. Normal operation will
resume once the system is allowed to cool.
If the "SERVICE POWER STEERING"
message and a flashing icon are
displayed on the instrument cluster
screen, it indicates that the vehicle
needs to be taken to the dealer for service. It is
likely the vehicle has lost power steering
assistance. Refer to "Instrument Cluster
