If the steering wanders or pulls equipped with either EPS or hydraulic
steering system, check for:
•
an improperly inflated tire
•
uneven tire wear
•
loose or worn suspension components
•
loose or worn steering components
•
improper vehicle alignment
A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may also make the steering
seem to wander/pull.
WARNING:
Obtain immediate service if a system error is
detected. You may not notice any difference in the feel of your
steering, but a serious condition may exist. Failure to do so may result
in loss of steering control.
BRAKE-SHIFT INTERLOCK
This vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock feature that prevents
the gearshift lever from being moved from P (Park) when the ignition is
in the on position unless the brake pedal is applied. If you cannot move
the gearshift lever out of P (Park) when the ignition is on and the brake
pedal applied, it is possible that a fuse has blown or the vehicle’s brake
lamps are not operating properly. Refer to
Fuses and relays
in the
Roadside Emergencies
chapter.
If the fuse is not blown and the brake lamps are working properly, you
will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer.
WARNING:
Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the
brake lamps are working.
WARNING:
Always set the parking brake fully and make sure
the gearshift lever is latched in P (Park). Switch the ignition to
off and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
WARNING:
If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake
warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be
working properly. See your authorized dealer.
