the electric steering system experiences a fault that

reduces assist or prevents the vehicle from providing

assist, you will still have the ability to steer the vehicle

manually.

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 STEERINGЉ OR
Љ

POWER STEERING ASSIST OFF - SERVICE

SYSTEM” message and a steering wheel icon

are displayed on the EVIC/DID screen, it indi-

cates 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 ЉDriver Information Display (DID)” in “Under-

standing Your Instrument Panel” 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

extreme steering maneuvers may have occurred, which

caused an over temperature condition in the power

steering system. You will lose power steering assistance

momentarily 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 “Under-

standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
