288 STARTING AND OPERATING
If the “SERVICE POWER STEERING" OR "POWER
STEERING ASSIST OFF - SERVICE SYSTEM”
message and a steering wheel icon are displayed on
the instrument cluster display 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
“Warning Lights And Messages” in “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel” for further information.
If the “POWER STEERING SYSTEM HOT - PERFOR-
MANCE MAY BE LIMITED” message and an icon are
displayed on the instrument cluster display screen, it indi-
cates 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 “Warning Lights And Messages” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument 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
The Stop/Start function was 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 restart the engine.
This vehicle has been upgraded with a heavy duty battery,
starter, as well as other 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.
