from providing assist, you will still have the ability to steer
the vehicle manually.

Continued operation with reduced assist could pose a
safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be
obtained as soon as possible.
If the Steering icon is displayed and the “SER-
VICE POWER STEERING” or the “POWER
STEERING ASSIST OFF – SERVICE SYSTEM”
message is displayed within the instrument clus-
ter, this indicates the vehicle needs to be taken to the dealer

derstanding Your Instrument Panel” for further informa-
tion.

steering effort, especially at low speeds and during
parking maneuvers.
• If the condition persists, see your authorized dealer for
service.
