Note: The system turns on each time you
switch the ignition on and you shift into
reverse (R). If you temporarily switch the
system off, it turns on the next time you
switch the ignition on.
Note: The system may not correctly operate
when towing a trailer. For vehicles with a
trailer tow module and tow bar approved by
us, the system turns off when you attach a
trailer. For vehicles with an aftermarket
trailer tow module or tow bar, we
recommend that you switch the system off
when you attach a trailer.
To permanently switch the system off,
contact an authorized dealer.
STEERING
Electric Power Steering
WARNING
If the system detects an error, you may
not feel a difference in the steering,
however a serious condition may exist. Have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible,
failure to do so may result in loss of steering
control.
Note: The electric power steering system
has diagnostic checks that continuously
monitor the system. If a fault is detected a
message displays in the information display.
Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so and switch the ignition off. After waiting
at least 10 seconds, switch the ignition on
and watch the information display for a
steering system warning message. If a
steering system warning message returns,
have the system checked as soon as
possible.
Your vehicle has an electric power steering
system. There is no fluid reservoir. No
maintenance is required.
If your vehicle loses electrical power while
you are driving, electric power steering
assistance is lost. The steering system still
operates and you can steer your vehicle
manually. Manually steering your vehicle
requires more effort.
Extreme continuous steering may increase
the effort required for you to steer your
vehicle. This increased effort prevents
overheating and permanent damage to the
steering system. You do not lose the ability
to steer your vehicle manually. Typical
steering and driving maneuvers allow the
system to cool and return to normal
operation.
Steering Tips
Steering wander or pull could be caused by
any of the following:
Incorrect tire pressures.
Uneven tire wear.
Crowned road surface.
High crosswind.
If the problem persists, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
