ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING
Your vehicle is equipped with an Electro-Hydraulic
Power Steering system that will provide increased
vehicle response and ease of maneuverability. 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.
CAUTION!
Extreme steering maneuvers may cause the electri-
cally driven pump 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.
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 an autho-
rized dealer for service. It is likely the vehicle has lost
power steering assistance
page 99.
If the “POWER STEERING HOT” message and an icon
are displayed on the instrument cluster screen, it indi-
cates that extreme steering maneuvers may have
occurred, which caused an over temperature condition
in the power steering system. You will lose power steer-
ing assistance momentarily until the over temperature
condition no longer exists. Once driving conditions are
safe, pull over and let vehicle idle for a few moments
until the light turns off
page 99.
NOTE:
•
Even if 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 very low
vehicle speeds and during parking maneuvers.
•
If the condition persists, see an authorized dealer
for service.
STOP/START SYSTEM — AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION (IF EQUIPPED)
The Engine Stop/Start (ESS) function is developed to
reduce fuel consumption. The system will stop the
engine automatically during a vehicle stop if the
required conditions are met. Releasing the brake pedal
or pressing the accelerator pedal will automatically
restart the engine.
ESS vehicles have been upgraded with a heavy-duty
starter, enhanced battery, and other upgraded engine
parts, to handle the additional engine starts.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the Stop/Start system be dis-
abled during off-road use.
Secondary Battery
Your vehicle may be equipped with a secondary battery
used to power the Stop/Start system and the 12 Volt
vehicle electrical system. The secondary battery is
located behind the wheel well for the front passenger
wheel.
