problem with the system function. On the next ignition cycle, the
message SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW will be displayed and
steering assist will be removed until the steering system is serviced.
Have your vehicle taken to the nearest dealer as soon as possible.
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
an improperly inflated tire.
uneven tire wear.
loose or worn suspension components.
loose or worn steering components.
improper steering alignment.
A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may also make the steering

PREPARING TO DRIVE
WARNING: Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles.
WARNING: In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.
Utility vehicles and trucks have larger tires and increased ground
clearance, giving the vehicle a higher center of gravity than a passenger
car.
WARNING: Vehicles with a higher center of gravity such as
utility vehicles and trucks handle differently than vehicles with a
lower center of gravity. Utility vehicles and trucks are not designed for
cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any more than low-slung
sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road
conditions. Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed or abrupt maneuvers in
these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously could result in an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and
death.
