If the Electric Power Steeri ng (EPS) System Indicator 
Comes On
■Reasons for the indicator to come on
• Comes on when there is a problem with the EPS system.
• If you depress the accelerator pedal  repeatedly to increase the engine 
speed while the engine is idling, the indicator comes on, and 
sometimes the steering wheel becomes harder to operate.
• Comes on when EPS steering angle cent er point memory is lost. This 
could be due to a number of problems to include: battery disconnect, 
main fuse blow,  low battery causing reset of the EPS system, wire 
damage to EPS harness. Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ®), VSA® OFF, 
Collision Mitigation Braking System
TM (CMBSTM)*, and low tire 
pressure/TPMS* indicators also come on with EPS indicator.
The  Drive Carefully Systems Initializing...  message appears on the 
driver information interface.
■What to do when th e indicator comes on
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place and restart the engine.
If the indicator comes on and stays on, immediately have your vehicle 
inspected by a dealer.
• If the EPS indicator, VSA ® indicator, VSA® OFF indicator, CMBS
TM 
indicator*, and low tire pressure/TPMS indicator* come on 
simultaneously, you need to ca librate the VSA and EPS systems.
Drive at a speed of more than 12  mph (20 km/h) for less than 10 
seconds to calibrate the VSA and EPS systems.
If the indicators come on and stay on, park your vehicle in a safe 
place, turn off and restart the engine, then repeat the above 
operation.
If the indicators still come on an d stay on, immediately have your 
vehicle inspected by a dealer.
