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
electric steering system experiences a fault that
prevents it from providing assist, you will still
have the ability to steer the vehicle manually.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist
could pose a safety risk to yourself and
others. Service should be obtained as soon
as possible.
Alternate electric power steering efforts can be
selected through the Uconnect System
Ú page 133.
If the Electric Power Steering warning icon is
displayed and the "SERVICE POWER STEERING"
or the "POWER STEERING ASSIST OFF –
SERVICE SYSTEM" message is displayed within
the instrument cluster display, this indicates the
vehicle needs to be taken to the dealer for
service Ú page 76.
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 an authorized

dealer for service.
If the Steering icon is displayed and the
"POWER STEERING SYSTEM OVER TEMP"
message is displayed on the instrument cluster
screen, they indicate that extreme steering
maneuvers may have occurred which caused
an over temperature condition in the power
steering system. Once driving conditions are
safe, pull over and let the vehicle idle for a few
moments until the icon and message turn off.
