vehicle has lost power steering assistance. Refer to "Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information (EVIC)" in "Understanding
Your Instrument Panel" for further information.
If the "POWER STEERING HOT" message and an icon
are displayed on the EVIC screen, it indicates that
extreme steering maneuvers may have occurred, which
caused an over temperature condition in the power
steering system. You will lose power steering assistance
momentarily until the over temperature condition no
longer exists. Once driving conditions are safe, then pull
over and let vehicle idle for a few moments until the light
turns off. Refer to "Electronic Vehicle Information
(EVIC)" in "Understanding Your Instrument Panel" for
further information.
NOTE:
• Even if power steering assistance is no longer opera-
tional, 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 your authorized dealer for
service.
