STARTING AND OPERATING 267
displayed on the instrument cluster display, it indicates that
extreme steering maneuvers may have occurred, which
caused an over temperature condition in the power steering
system. You will lose power steering assistance momentarily
until the over temperature condition no longer exists. Once
driving conditions are safe, then pull over and let vehicle idle
for a few moments until the light turns off. Refer to “Instru-
ment Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further information.
NOTE:
• Even if the power steering assistance is no longer opera-
tional, 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 your authorized dealer for
service.
STOP/START SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Stop/Start function is developed to reduce fuel
consumption. 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.
Automatic Mode
The Stop/Start feature is enabled after every normal
customer engine start. At that time, the system will go into
STOP/START READY and if all other conditions are met,
can go into a STOP/START AUTOSTOP ACTIVE
“Autostop” mode.
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.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
• The vehicle must be completely stopped.
• The gear selector must be in a forward gear and the brake
pedal depressed.
The engine will shut down, the tachometer will move to the
zero position and the Stop/Start telltale will illuminate indi-
cating you are in Autostop. Customer settings will be main-
tained upon return to an engine running condition.
