POWER STEERING

The electric power steering system provides increased
vehicle response and ease of maneuverability in tight
spaces. The power steering system adapts to different
driving conditions. If the electric power 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.
STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
Alternate electric power steering efforts can be selected
through the Uconnect System
page 168.
Ú
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 an authorized dealer for
service
page 95.
Ú
NOTE:
 Even if the power steering assistance is no longer oper-
ational, 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 electric 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.
