Aggressive driving on any road condition can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury or
property damage. The occurrence of an AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC event
is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded their
ability to grip the road; this could reduce the operator’s ability to
control the vehicle potentially resulting in an accident, personal injury,
or property damage. If you experience a severe road event, SLOW
DOWN.
If a failure has been detected within the AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC
system, the
⬙
sliding car
⬙
icon
will illuminate steadily. Verify
that the AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system is not manually disabled
(push the AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC button located on the center stack
of the instrument panel). If the
⬙
sliding car
⬙
icon
still illuminates
steadily, have the system service by an authorized dealer immediately.
Operating your vehicle with AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC disabled may
severely reduce your ability to control your vehicle. Failure to have
your vehicle properly serviced will increase the risk of an accident,
injury, or property damage.
STEERING
Your vehicle is equipped with power steering. Power steering uses energy
from the engine to decrease the driver’s effort in steering the vehicle.
To help prevent damage to the power steering pump:
•
Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme right or the extreme left
for more than a few seconds when the engine is running.
•
Do not operate the vehicle with the power steering pump fluid level
below the MIN mark on the reservoir.
•
Some noise is normal during operation. If the noise is excessive, check
for low power steering pump fluid level before seeking service by your
authorized dealer.
•
Heavy or uneven steering efforts may be caused by low power steering
pump fluid level. Check for low power steering pump fluid level before
seeking service by your authorized dealer.
•
Do not fill the power steering pump reservoir above the MAX mark on
the reservoir, as this may result in leaks from the reservoir.
If the power steering system breaks down (or if the engine is turned
off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more effort.
