450 STARTING AND OPERATING
while parking and good feel while driving. If the electro-
hydraulic power steering system experiences a fault that
prevents it from providing power steering assist, then the
system will provide mechanical steering capability.
CAUTION!
Extreme steering maneuvers may cause the electri-
cally driven pump to reduce or stop power steering
assistance in order to prevent damage to the system.
Normal operation will resume once the system is
allowed to cool.
If the "SERVICE POWER STEERING" message
and a flashing icon are displayed on the DID
screen, it indicates that the vehicle needs to be
taken to the dealer for service. It is likely the
vehicle has lost power steering assistance. Refer to
"Driver Information Display (DID)" in "Understanding
Your Instrument Panel" for further information.
If the "POWER STEERING HOT" message and an icon
are displayed on the DID 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 "Driver Information Display (DID)" in "Under-
standing 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.
