Electric Power Steering
(EPS) Indicator
This indicator normally comes on
when you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position and goes off
after the engine starts. If it comes on
at any other time, there is a problem
in the electric power steering system.
If this happens, stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and turn off the engine.
Reset the system by restarting the
engine. The indicator will not turn
off immediately. If it does not go off
after driving a short distance, or
comes back on again while driving,
take the vehicle to your dealer to
have it checked. With the indicator
on, the EPS may be off, making the
vehicle harder to steer.
If you turn the steering wheel to the
full left or right position repeatedly
while stopping or driving at very low
speed, you may feel slightly harder
steering due to overheating of the
steering gearbox.
Continuously driving under those
conditions could damage the power
steering system.
Instrument Panel Indicators
U.S. Canada Brake System
Indicator
(Amber)
This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. When the brake system
indicator (amber) is on, there is the
problem with the Cooperative
Control with regenerative brake,
Creep Aid System or Brake Assist
(the normal brake operates properly).
Have your vehicle checked by your
dealer.
