ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING
Your vehicle is equipped with an electro-
hydraulic power steering system that will
provide increased vehicle response and ease of
maneuverability. If the electro-hydraulic power
steering system experiences a fault that
prevents it from providing power steering assist,
then the system will provide mechanical
steering capability.
If the “SERVICE POWER STEERING”
message and a flashing icon are
di
splayed on the instrument cluster
screen, it indicates that the vehicle
needs to be taken to the dealer for service. It is
likely the vehicle has lost power steering
assistance
Ú page 115.
CAUTION!
Extreme steering maneuvers may cause the
electrically driven pump to reduce or stop
power steering assistance in order to prevent
damage to the system. Normal operation will
resume once the system is allowed to cool.
