Always check the depth of the standing

path that is under water and if there are
any obstacles in the way before driving

POWER STEERING — 6.4L
ENGINE
The electric power steering system 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 elec-
tric steering system experiences a fault that
prevents it from providing assist, you will still
have the ability to steer the vehicle manually.
Alternate electric power steering efforts can be
selected through the Uconnect® System. Refer
to the “Drive Modes” in this section for further
information.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist
could pose a safety risk to yourself and
others. Service should be obtained as soon
as possible.
If the Steering icon is displayed
and
the “SERVICE POWER
STEERING” or the “POWER
STEERING ASSIST OFF – SER-
VICE SYSTEM” message is dis-
played within the Driver Informa-
tion Display (DID), this indicates the vehicle
needs to be taken to the dealer for service.
Refer to “Driver Information Display (DID)” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information.
NOTE:
•
Even if the power steering assistance is
no longer operational, it is still possible to
steer the vehicle. Under these conditions
