Driving and Operating

If power steering assist is lost due
to a system malfunction, the vehicle
can be steered, but may require
increased effort.
If the steering assist is used for an
extended period of time while the
vehicle is not moving, power assist
may be reduced.
If the steering wheel is turned until it
reaches the maximum rotation and
is held at that position for an
extended period of time, power
steering assist may be reduced.
Normal use of the power steering
assist should return when the
system cools down.
See your dealer if there is a
problem.
Dynamic Rack Travel
If equipped with Magnetic Ride
Control, Dynamic Rack Travel
(DRT) is a steering system feature
which enhances driving by providing
additional maximum steering wheel
rotation to allow a tighter turning
radius during low speed driving
conditions. If the vehicle speed
increases or if the suspension
encounters significant wheel travel,
such as a driveway, while at
maximum steering rotation, DRT
may gently push the steering back a
small amount to prevent the front
tires from contacting the vehicle.
This is normal operation. There is
no customer interface nor display
for this feature. DRT is not available
when in Track Mode.

speed.

Reduce speed before entering a
curve.

steady speed through the curve.

Steering in Emergencies
.
There are some situations when
steering around a problem may
be more effective than braking.
.
Holding both sides of the
steering wheel allows you to turn
180 degrees without removing
a hand.
.
The Antilock Brake System
(ABS) allows steering while
braking.
