Equipped
If the “POWER STEERING SYSTEM OVER
TEMP” message and a 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. After five
minutes, the system will cool and return to normal
operation. Refer to “Power Steering” in “Starting And
Operating” 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.

gine stall and your vehicle may require towing.

sition. If the light is either not on during

system inspected at an authorized dealer as soon as
possible. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things
To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for further
information.
