ACTIVE GRILLE SHUTTER — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with Active Grille Shutters,
an automatic system with mobile flaps applied in front of
the cooling module, whose automatic opening/closing
movement aims at improving the vehicle aerodynamic
efficiency and thus reducing consumption while ensuring
optimal engine operating temperature conditions.
When a greater air flow is required for cooling (e.g. when
driving in urban traffic) the flaps open, whereas when
temperature is low or air flow is enough (example when
driving on highways), the flaps close.
If there is a failure detected, the instrument panel will
illuminate the engine check/malfunction indicator warn-
ing light.
POWER STEERING
The electric power steering system will give you good
vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability in
tight spaces. The system will vary its assist to provide light
efforts while parking and good feel while driving. If the
electric steering system experiences a fault that reduces
assist or prevents the vehicle from providing assist, you
will still have the ability to steer the vehicle manually.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist could pose a
safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be
obtained as soon as possible.
If the “SERVICE POWER STEERING⬙ OR
⬙POWER STEERING ASSIST OFF - SERVICE
SYSTEM” message and a steering wheel icon are
displayed 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. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Get-
ting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for further informa-
tion.
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.
