Electric Power Steering (EPS)
This SXS is equipped with an electronically controlled, electric
power-assisted steering system.
While the engine is running, the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system
provides power from the electric motor, which helps you to turn the
SXS’s steering wheel more easily.
The EPS system on this SXS utilizes an overheat protection feature to
prevent damage to system components. In certain extended,
repetitive high-load situations the electric power steering (EPS)
indicator will illuminate and the system will reduce or even disable
power steering assist. The steering will perform as a normal non-EPS
system during this brief period. If this occurs, safely stop the vehicle
and allow the EPS system to cool down until the electric power
steering (EPS) indicator goes off. After cooling down, steering will
return to normal EPS operation.
The electric power steering (EPS) indicator should light when the
ignition switch is turned ON (q) and remain on until the engine is
started.
The electric power steering (EPS) indicator also lights when there is
any abnormality in the EPS system. If this occurs, the electric power
assist for turning will not be available, but the manual steering
system will perform as usual.
If the electric power steering (EPS) indicator lights at any time while
riding, other than the temporary overheat condition described
above, reduce speed and take your SXS to your dealer as soon as
possible. Continuing to ride with a EPS system problem can damage
system components.
Do not modify your EPS system. In case of a malfunction, take your
SXS to your dealer.
