360 STARTING AND OPERATING
If the "POWER STEERING HOT" message and an icon are
displayed on the instrument cluster 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 "Instru-
ment Cluster Display" in "Getting To Know Your Instru-
ment Panel" for further information.
NOTE:
• Even if power steering assistance is no longer operational,
it is still possible to steer the vehicle. Under these condi-
tions 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.
STOP/START SYSTEM — AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION (IF EQUIPPED)
The Engine Stop/Start (ESS) function is developed to reduce
fuel consumption. The system will stop the engine automat-
ically during a vehicle stop if the required conditions are
met. Releasing the brake pedal or pressing the accelerator
pedal will automatically re-start the engine.
ESS vehicles have been upgraded with a heavy duty starter,
enhanced battery, and other upgraded engine parts, to
handle the additional engine starts. Vehicles equipped with
eTorque contain a heavy duty motor generator and an addi-
tional hybrid electric battery to store energy from vehicle
deceleration for use on engine startup after a stop as well as
providing launch torque assist.
NOTE:
It is recommended that Stop/Start be disabled during
off-road use.
