Power Steering - Chrysler 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT Owner's Manual

CAUTION! (Continued)
• Driving through standing water may cause
damage to your vehicle's drivetrain com-
ponents. Always inspect your vehicle's flu-
ids (i.e., engine oil, transmission, axle,
etc.) for signs of contamination (i.e., fluid
that is milky or foamy in appearance) after
driving through standing water. Do not
continue to operate the vehicle if any fluid
appears contaminated, as this may result
in further damage. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
• Getting water inside your vehicle's engine
can cause it to lock up and stall out, and
cause serious internal damage to the en-
gine. Such damage is not covered by the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

WARNING!
• Driving through standing water limits your
vehicle's traction capabilities. Do not ex-
ceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through
standing water.
• Driving through standing water limits your
vehicle's braking capabilities, which in-
creases stopping distances. Therefore, af-
ter driving through standing water, drive
slowly and lightly press on the brake pedal
several times to dry the brakes.
• Getting water inside your vehicle's engine
can cause it to lock up and stall out, and
leave you stranded.
• Failure to follow these warnings may result
in injuries that are serious or fatal to you,
your passengers, and others around you.

POWER STEERING

The standard power steering system will give
you good vehicle response and increased ease
of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system
will provide mechanical steering capability if
power assist is lost.
If for some reason the power assist is inter-
rupted, it will still be possible to steer your
vehicle. Under these conditions, you will ob-
serve a substantial increase in steering effort,
especially at very low vehicle speeds and dur-
ing parking maneuvers.
NOTE:
• Increased noise levels at the end of the
steering wheel travel are considered nor-
mal and do not indicate that there is a
problem with the power steering system.
