Jeep 2015 Renegade, Owner'S Manual, Page: 402 / 668

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 “SERVICE POWER STEERING
⬙
OR
⬙
POWER STEERING ASSIST OFF - SERVICE
SYSTEM” message and a steering wheel icon are
displayed on the EVIC/DID 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 “Electronic Vehicle Information (EVIC) or
⬙
Driver
Information Display (DID)” in “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Cluster” for further information.
If the “POWER STEERING SYSTEM HOT - PERFOR-
MANCE MAY BE LIMITED” message and an icon are
displayed on the EVIC/DID screen, it indicates that ex-
treme steering maneuvers may have occurred, which
caused an over temperature condition in the power steer-
ing system. You will lose power steering assistance mo-
mentarily until the over temperature condition no longer
exists. Once driving conditions are safe, then pull over and
let vehicle idle for a few moments until the light turns off.
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information (EVIC)/Driver
Information Display (DID)” in “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Cluster” for further information.
NOTE:
•
Even if the power steering assistance is no longer
operational, it is still possible to steer the vehicle.
Under these conditions there will be a substantial
increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds and
during parking maneuvers.
•
If the condition persists, see your authorized dealer for
service.
