ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING

Your vehicle is equipped with an Electro-Hydraulic
Power Steering system that will provide increased
vehicle response and ease of maneuverability. 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.
