If the “SERVICE POWER STEERING” message

and a flashing icon are displayed on the 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

“Driver Information Display (DID)” in “Understanding

Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
If the “POWER STEERING HOT” message and an icon

are displayed on the 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 “Driver Information Display (DID)” in “Under-

standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

NOTE:

• Even if power steering assistance is no longer opera-

tional, 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 your authorized dealer for

service.

5.7L Engine

The standard power steering system will give you good

vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability

in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical

steering capability if power assist is lost.
