STARTING AND OPERATING
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 an autho-
rized dealer for service. It is likely the vehicle has lost
power steering assistance
page 100.
If the "POWER STEERING HOT" message and an icon
are displayed on the instrument cluster screen, it indi-
cates that extreme steering maneuvers may have
occurred, which caused an over temperature condition
in the power steering system. You will lose power steer-
ing assistance momentarily until the over temperature
condition no longer exists. Once driving conditions are
safe, pull over and let vehicle idle for a few moments
until the light turns off
page 100.
NOTE:
•
Even if 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 very low
vehicle speeds and during parking maneuvers.
•
If the condition persists, see an authorized dealer
for service.
STOP/START SYSTEM — MANUAL
TRANSMISSION (IF EQUIPPED)
The Engine Stop/Start (ESS) function is developed to
reduce fuel consumption. The system will stop the
engine automatically during a vehicle stop if the
required conditions are met. Pressing the clutch pedal
will automatically restart the vehicle.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the Stop/Start system be dis-
abled during off-road use.
Secondary Battery
Your vehicle may be equipped with a secondary battery
used to power the Stop/Start system and the 12 Volt
vehicle electrical system. The secondary battery is
located behind the wheel well for the front passenger
wheel.
Battery Locations
1 — Primary Battery
2 — Secondary Battery
AUTOSTOP MODE
WARNING!
•
Vehicles with the Stop/Start system will be
equipped with two batteries. Both the main and
the supplemental batteries must be disconnected
to completely de-energize the 12 Volt electrical
system.
•
Serious injury or death could result if you do not
disconnect both batteries. To learn how to properly
disconnect, see an authorized dealer.
The Stop/Start feature is enabled after every normal
engine start. It will remain in STOP/START NOT READY
until you drive forward with a vehicle speed greater
than 5 mph (8 km/h). At that time, the system will go
into STOP/START READY and if all other conditions are
met, can go into an STOP/START AUTOSTOP ACTIVE
mode.
To Activate The STOP/START AUTOSTOP ACTIVE Mode,
The Following Must Occur:
•
The system must be in STOP/START READY state. A
STOP/START READY message will be displayed in
the instrument cluster
page 98.
•
Vehicle speed must be less than 2 mph (3 km/h).
•
The gear selector must be in the NEUTRAL position
and the clutch pedal must be fully released.
The engine will shut down, the tachometer will fall to
the Stop/Start position, the STOP/START AUTOSTOP
ACTIVE message will appear, and the heater/air condi-
tioning (HVAC) air flow will be reduced.
