POWER STEERING

The standard power steering system will give you good

vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability

in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical

steering capability if power assist is lost.

If for some reason the power assist is interrupted, it will

still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these condi-

tions, you will observe a substantial increase in steering

effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds and during

parking maneuvers.

NOTE: Increased noise levels at the end of the steering

wheel travel are considered normal and do not indicate

that there is a problem with the power steering system.

Upon initial start-up in cold weather, the power steering

pump may make noise for a short amount of time. This is

due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering system. This

noise should beconsidered normal,and it does notin any

way damage the steering system.

WARNING!

Continued operation with reduced power steering

assist could pose a safety risk to yourself and others.

Service should be obtained as soon as possible.

CAUTION!

Prolonged operation of the steering system at the end

of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering

fluid temperature and it should be avoided when

possible. Damage to the power steering pump may

occur.

Power Steering Fluid Check

Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined

service interval is not required. The fluid should only be

checked if a leak is suspected, abnormal noises are
