POWER STEERING

The power assisted steering system of your vehicle

provides mechanical steering capability in the event

power assist is lost.

If for some reason the hydraulic pressure is interrupted,

it will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these

conditions you will observe a substantial increase in

steering effort.

TRACTION CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED

The Traction Control System reduces wheel

slip and maintains traction at the driving

(front) wheels. The system reduces wheel slip

by engaging the brake on the wheel that is

losing traction while spinning. The traction system oper-

ates at speeds below 35 mph (56 km/h).

The system is always in the “stand by” mode unless:

•

The Traction Control switch has been used to turn the

system off;

•

There is an Anti-Lock Brake or Traction System mal-

function;

•

The system has been deactivated to prevent damage to

the brake system due to overheated brake tempera-

tures.

NOTE:

Extended heavy use of Traction Control may

cause the system to deactivate and turn on the Traction

Control indicator located in the instrument cluster.

This is to prevent overheating of the brake system and is

a normal condition. After cooling, the system will auto-

matically reactivate and turn off the Traction Control

Light.
