The messages that do not
require immediate action can
be acknowledged and cleared
by pressing
V. The messages
that require immediate action
cannot be cleared until that
action is performed.
All messages should be taken
seriously; clearing the
message does not correct the
problem.

in the messages. The system

ENGINE POWER IS
REDUCED
This message displays when
the vehicle's propulsion power
is reduced. A reduction in
propulsion power can affect
the vehicle's ability to
accelerate. If this message is
on, but there is no observed
reduction in performance,
proceed to your destination.
Under certain conditions the
performance may be reduced
the next time the vehicle is
driven. The vehicle may be
driven while this message is
on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced.
Anytime this message stays
on, or displays repeatedly, the
vehicle should be taken to
your dealer for service as
soon as possible.

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.
Electric Power Steering
The vehicle is equipped with
an electric power steering
system, which reduces the
amount of effort needed to
steer the vehicle. It does not
have power steering fluid.
Regular maintenance is not
required.
If the vehicle experiences a
system malfunction and loses
power steering, greater
steering effort may be
required. Power steering
assist also may be reduced if
you turn the steering wheel asfar as it can turn and hold it
there with force for an
extended period of time.
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.
.Holding both sides of the
steering wheel allows you to
turn 180 degrees without
removing a hand.
