340 STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
The stabilizer/sway bar may be torque locked due to left and
right sus
pension height differences. This condition is due to
driving surface differences or vehicle loading. In order for
the stabilizer/sway bar to disconnect/reconnect, the right
and left halves of the bar must be aligned. This alignment
may require that the vehicle be driven onto level ground or
rocked from side to side.
To return to on-road mode, push the SWAY BAR switch
again.
ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING
Your vehicle is equipped with an electro-hydraulic power
steering system that 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 electro-hydraulic
power steering system experiences a fault that prevents it
from providing power steering assist, then the system will
provide mechanical steering capability.
If the “SERVICE POWER STEERING” message and
a flashing 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 “Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.
WARNING!
If the stabilizer/sway bar will not return to on-road mode,
the “Sway
Bar Indicator Light” will flash in the instrument
cluster and vehicle stability may be reduced. Do not
attempt to drive the vehicle over 18
mph (29 km/h).
Driving f
aster than 18 mph (29 km/h) with a disconnected
stabiliz
er/sway bar may contribute to the loss of vehicle
control, which could result in serious injury.
CAUTION!
Extreme steering maneuvers may cause the electrically
driven pu
mp to reduce or stop power steering assistance
in order to prevent damage to the system. Normal
operation will resume once the system is allowed to cool.
