brake system to work at a reduced
level. The vehicle can still be driven,
but should be taken to a dealer assoon as possible. See
Electric
Parking Brake 0192. A message
may also display in the Driver
Information Center (DIC).

(ABS) Warning Light
The ABS warning light will come on
briefly when the vehicle is started.
This is normal. If the light does not
come on then, have it fixed so it will
be ready to warn if there is a
problem.
If the light stays on or comes on
while driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the vehicle off.
Then start the vehicle again to reset
the system. If the light still stays on,
or comes on again while driving, the
vehicle needs service. See your
dealer. If the regular brake system
warning light is not on, the brakes will still work, but the antilock brakes
will not work. If the regular brake
system warning light is also on, the
antilock brakes will not work and
there is a problem with the regular
brakes.

that you are accelerating, braking,
or actively steering.

If equipped, this indicator will
display green when a vehicle is
detected ahead and amber when
you are following a vehicle ahead
much too closely.
Pedestrian Ahead
Indicator
If equipped, this indicator will
display amber when a nearby
pedestrian is detected in front of the
vehicle. See
Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB)
System 0207.
Traction Off Light
This light comes on briefly while
starting the vehicle. If it does not,
have the vehicle serviced by your

174 Driving and Operating
Steering
Caution
To avoid damage to the steering
system, do not drive over curbs,
parking barriers, or similar objects
at speeds greater than 3 km/h
(1 mph). Use care when driving
over other objects such as lane
dividers and speed bumps.
Damage caused by misuse of the
vehicle is not covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Variable Effort Steering
The vehicle has a steering system
that varies the amount of effort
required to steer the vehicle in
relation to the speed of the vehicle.
The amount of steering effort
required is less at slower speeds to
make the vehicle more
maneuverable and easier to park. At
faster speeds, the steering effort
increases to provide a sport-like feel
to the steering. This provides
maximum control and stability.
Electric Power Steering
The vehicle has electric power
steering. It does not have power
steering fluid. Regular maintenance
is not required.
If power steering assist is lost due
to a system malfunction, the vehicle
can be steered, but may require
increased effort.
If the steering wheel is turned until it
reaches the end of its travel and is
held against that position for an
extended period of time, power
steering assist may be reduced.If the steering assist is used for an
extended period of time while the
vehicle is not moving, power assist
may be reduced.
Normal use of the power steering
assist should return when the
system cools down.
See your dealer if there is a
problem.
Curve Tips
.
Take curves at a reasonable
speed.
. Reduce speed before entering a
curve.
. Maintain a reasonable steady
speed through the curve.
. Wait until the vehicle is out of
the curve before accelerating
gently into the straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
.
There are some situations when
steering around a problem may
be more effective than braking.
