HYDRAULIC POWER
STEERING
HYDRAULIC POWER STEERINGGUIDELINES
To help prevent damage to the powersteering system:
•Do not hold the steering wheel at itsfurthest turning points for more thanthree to five seconds when the engineis running.
•Avoid continuously steering back andforth with elevated engine RPM as thismay overheat the system. If trying tofree a stuck vehicle, pause betweenattempts to allow the power steeringsystem to cool or seek assistance.Typical steering and driving maneuversallow the system to cool.
•Do not operate the vehicle if the powersteering pump fluid level is below theMIN mark on the reservoir.
•Some noise is normal during operation.If excessive, check for low powersteering pump fluid level beforeseeking service by your dealer.
•Heavy or uneven efforts may be causedby low power steering fluid. Check forlow power steering pump fluid levelbefore seeking service by your dealer.
•Do not fill the power steering pumpreservoir above the MAX mark on thereservoir, as this may result in leaksfrom the reservoir.
If the power steering system breaks downor if you switch the engine off, you cansteer the vehicle manually, but it takesmore effort.
If you have any steering componentsserviced or replaced, install new fasteners.Many fasteners have coatings with threadadhesive, or have prevailing torquefeatures you cannot reuse. Do not reuse abolt or nut. Torque fasteners tospecifications.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•An improperly inflated tire.
•Uneven tire wear.
•Loose or worn suspensioncomponents.
•Loose or worn steering components.
•Improper vehicle alignment.
Note:A high crown in the road or highcrosswinds may also make the steeringseem to wander or pull.
Electronic Torque Overlay Steering
(If Equipped)
WARNING: The electric powersteering system has diagnostic checksthat continuously monitor the system. Ifa fault is detected, a message displaysin the information display. Stop yourvehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.Switch the ignition off. After at least 10seconds, switch the ignition on andwatch the information display for asteering system warning message. If asteering system warning messagereturns, have the system checked assoon as possible.
WARNING: If the system detectsan error, you may not feel a difference inthe steering, however a serious conditionmay exist. Have your vehicle checked assoon as possible. Failure to do so mayresult in loss of steering control.

DRIVING ON SNOW AND ICE
WARNING: If you are driving inslippery conditions that require tirechains or cables, then it is critical thatyou drive cautiously. Keep speeds down,allow for longer stopping distances andavoid aggressive steering to reduce thechances of a loss of vehicle controlwhich can lead to serious injury or death.If the rear end of your vehicle slides whilecornering, steer in the direction of theslide until you regain control of yourvehicle.
On ice and snow, you should drive moreslowly than usual. Your vehicle has a fourwheel anti-lock brake system, do not pumpthe brake pedal. See Anti-Lock BrakingSystem Limitations (page 249).
BREAKING-IN
Your vehicle requires a break-in period. Forthe first 1,000 mi (1,600 km), avoid drivingat high speeds, heavy braking, aggressiveshifting or using your vehicle to tow. Duringthis time, your vehicle may exhibit someunusual driving characteristics.
DRIVING ECONOMICALLY
The following helps to improve fuelconsumption:
•Drive smoothly, accelerate gently andanticipate the road ahead to avoidheavy braking.
•Regularly check your tire pressures andmake sure that they are inflated to thecorrect pressure.
•Follow the recommended maintenanceschedule and carry out therecommended checks.
•Plan your journey and check the trafficbefore you set off. It is more efficientto combine errands into a single tripwhenever possible.
•Avoid idling the engine in cold weatheror for extended periods. Start theengine only when you are ready to setoff.
•Do not carry unnecessary weight in yourvehicle as extra weight wastes fuel.
•Do not add unnecessary accessoriesto the exterior of your vehicle, forexample running boards. If you use aroof rack, remember to fold it down orremove it when not in use.
•Do not shift into neutral when you arebraking or when your vehicle is slowingdown.
•Shut all windows when driving at highspeeds.
•Switch off all electric systems whennot in use, for example air conditioning.Make sure that you unplug anyaccessories from the auxiliary powerpoints when not in use.
DRIVING IN SPECIAL
CONDITIONS
DRIVING THROUGH MUD ANDWATER
WARNING: Do not spin the wheelsat over 34 mph (55 km/h). The tires mayfail and injure a passenger or bystander.

When weather temperaturechanges occur, tire inflationpressures also change. A 10°F(6°C) temperature drop cancause a corresponding drop of 1psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure.Check your tire pressuresfrequently and adjust them to theproper pressure which can befound on the Safety ComplianceCertification Label or Tire Label.
Checking Pressure when tiresare hot:
If pressures are checked after tireshave been driven for more thanthree minutes or more than 1 mile,(2 km) the tires become hot andthe pressures will increase byapproximately 4 psi (27.6 kPa).Therefore when the tire pressure
is adjusted under these conditions,it should be increased to a gaugereading of 4 psi (27.6 kPa) greaterthan the recommended coldinflation pressure.
For Example Only
33 psi (230kPa)Gauge readingof hot tire
32 psi (220kPa)If recom-mended, coldinflation pres-sure is
The hot tire pressure is only 1 psi(10 kPa) greater than therecommended cold inflationpressure. Therefore, add 3 psi(20 kPa) more to increase thehot pressure to 4 psi (30 kPa)over the recommended coldinflation pressure.
36 psi (250kPa)New hot pres-sure
Steel Carcass Plies
WARNING: An inflated tireand rim can be very dangerousif improperly used, serviced ormaintained. To reduce the riskof serious injury, never attemptto re-inflate a tire which hasbeen run flat or seriouslyunder-inflated without firstremoving the tire from the wheelassembly for inspection. Do notattempt to add air to tires orreplace tires or wheels withoutfirst taking precautions toprotect persons and property.

REPAIRS - WHEREVERPOSSIBLE, SEE YOUR TIRERETAILER AT ONCE
If any tire sustains a puncture,have the tire demounted andthoroughly inspected by a tireretailer for possible damage thatmay have occurred. A tread areapuncture in any passenger or lighttruck tire can be repaired providedthat the puncture hole is not morethan 1/4” in diameter, not morethan one radial cable per casingply is damaged, and the tire hasnot been damaged further by thepuncturing object or by runningunderinflated. Tire puncturesconsistent with these guidelinesshould only be repaired byfollowing the US TireManufacturers Association(USTMA) recommended repairprocedures. Plug-only repairsdone on-the-wheel are consideredimproper and therefore, notrecommended. Such repairs arenot reliable and may cause furtherdamage to the tire.
STORAGE
Tires contain waxes andemollients to protect their outersurfaces from ozone and weatherchecking. As the tire rolls andflexes, the waxes and emollientscontinually migrate to the surface,replenishing this protectionthroughout the normal use of thetire. Consequently, when tires situnused for long periods of time (amonth or more) their surfaces
become dry and more susceptibleto ozone and weather checkingand the casing becomessusceptible to flat spotting.Forthis reason, tires should alwaysbe stored in a cool, dry, clean,indoor environment. If storageis for one month or more,eliminate the weight from thetires by raising the vehicle or byremoving the tires from thevehicle. Failure to store tires inaccordance with theseinstructions could result indamage to your tires orpremature aging of the tiresand sudden tire failure.
When tires are stored, be sure theyare placed away from sources ofheat and ozone such as directsunlight, hot pipes and electricgenerators. Be sure that surfaceson which tires are stored are cleanand free from grease, gasoline orother substances, which coulddeteriorate the rubber. Failure tostore tires in accordance withthese instructions could result indamage to your tires or prematureaging of the tires and sudden tirefailure.
