6. Occasionally, a second burnish session is required.
If the brake pads begin to emit an odor during the
next track session, reduce vehicle speed and brak-
ing deceleration rate to burnish targets and follow
steps 2-4.
7. New brake pads installed on old rotors require a
burnish. New rotors installed with old brake pads
should be burnished at the track or driven for
300 miles (485 km) of city driving to develop an
adequate lining transfer layer on the rotor surface
prior to track use.
8. Rotors that pulsate during track use should be
replaced.
NOTE:
Resurfacing of the rotors is not recommended, as it
removes mass from the rotor, reducing its thermal
capacity. Resurfacing also thins the rotor cheek,
making it less robust and increasing the likelihood
of pulsation in further track use.
FUEL SAVER TECHNOLOGY 5.7L AND 6.4L
ONLY — IF EQUIPPED
This feature offers improved fuel economy by shutting
off four of the engine's eight cylinders during light load
and cruise conditions. The system is automatic with no
driver inputs.
NOTE:
This system may take some time to return to full func-
tionality after a battery disconnect.
POWER STEERING
The electric power steering system will provide
increased vehicle response and ease of maneuverabil-
ity. The power steering system adapts to different driv-
ing conditions and adjusts accordingly.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist could pose a
safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be
obtained as soon as possible.
Alternate electric power steering efforts can be selected
through the Uconnect System
page 129.
If the Electric Power Steering warning icon is displayed
and the “Service Power Steering” or the “Power Steer-
ing Assist Off – Service System” message is displayed
within the instrument cluster display, this indicates the
vehicle needs to be taken to the dealer for service
page 75.
NOTE:
•
Even if the power steering assistance is no longer
operational, it is still possible to steer the vehicle.
Under these conditions there will be a substantial
increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds
and during parking maneuvers.
•
If the condition persists, see an authorized dealer
for service.
If the Steering icon is displayed and the “Power Steering
System Over Temp” message is displayed on the instru-
ment cluster screen, this indicates an over temperature
condition in the power steering system. Once driving
conditions are safe, pull over and let the vehicle idle for
a few moments until the icon and message turn off.
STOP/START SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Stop/Start function is designed to reduce fuel con-
sumption. The system will stop the engine automatically
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.
This vehicle has been upgraded with a heavy duty
starter, enhanced battery, and other upgraded engine
parts, to handle the additional engine starts.
AUTOSTOP MODE
The Stop/Start feature is enabled after every normal
customer engine start. At that time, the system will go
into STOP/START READY.
To Activate The Autostop Mode, The Following Must
Occur:
•
The system must be in STOP/START READY state. A
STOP/START READY message will be displayed in
the instrument cluster display within the Stop/Start
section
page 69.
•
The vehicle must be completely stopped.
•
The gear selector must be in a forward gear and the
brake pedal pressed.
The engine will shut down, the tachometer will move to
the zero position and the Stop/Start telltale will illumi-
nate indicating you are in Autostop. Customer settings
will be maintained upon return to an engine running
condition.
