STEERING

Steering Tips

If the steering wanders or pulls, 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.

operation of the electronic system. When an electronic error is detected,
a message will be displayed in the information display. If this happens,
stop the vehicle in a safe place, and turn off the vehicle. After at least
10 seconds, reset the system by restarting the vehicle, and watch the

steering, but a serious condition may exist. Failure to do so may result
in loss of steering control.
