Power Steering; Speed Control - If Equipped - Chrysler 300 2017 Owner's Manual

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.
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. Refer to
"Customer Programmable Features" within
"Uconnect Settings" in "Multimedia" for further
information.
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 instrument cluster display,
this indicates the vehicle needs to be taken to
the dealer for service. Refer to "Warning Lights
And Messages" in "Getting To Know Your Instru-
ment 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 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 ma-
neuvers may have occurred which caused an
over temperature condition in the power steer-
ing system. Once driving conditions are safe,
pull over and let the vehicle idle for a few
moments until the icon and message turn off.
SPEED CONTROL — IF

When engaged, the Speed Control takes over
accelerator operations at speeds greater than
25 mph (40 km/h).
The Speed Control buttons are located on the
right side of the steering wheel.
Speed Control Buttons

NOTE:
In order to ensure proper operation, the Speed
Control System has been designed to shut
down if multiple Speed Control functions are
operated at the same time. If this occurs, the
Speed Control System can be reactivated by
pushing the Speed Control on/off button and
resetting the desired vehicle set speed.
