ELECTRIC POWER STEERING

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

The electric power

steering system has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor the system. If
a fault is detected, a message displays
in the information display. Stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Switch the vehicle off. After at least 10
seconds, switch the vehicle on and
watch the information display for a
steering system warning message. If a
steering system warning message
returns, have the system checked as
soon as possible.

WARNING:

If the system detects

an error, you may not feel a difference in
the steering, however a serious condition
may exist. Have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. Failure to do so may
result in loss of steering control.

Adapt your speed and driving behavior
according to reduced steering assist.

Extreme continuous steering may increase
the effort to steer. This occurs to prevent
internal overheating and damage to the
steering system. If this occurs, you will not
lose the ability to steer your vehicle
manually nor will it cause damage to the
system. Normal steering and driving allows
the system to cool down and steering
assist returns to normal.

Note:

There is no fluid reservoir to check or

fill.

PARKING AID PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

To help avoid personal

injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system.

WARNING:

The system may not

detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash.

WARNING:

Traffic control systems,

fluorescent lamps, inclement weather,
air brakes, external motors and fans may
affect the correct operation of the
sensing system. This may cause reduced
performance or false alerts.

WARNING:

The system may not

detect small or moving objects,
particularly those close to the ground.

WARNING:

The parking aid system

can only assist you to detect objects
when your vehicle is moving at parking
speeds. To help avoid personal injury you
must take care when using the parking
aid system.

WARNING:

The system may not

function if the sensor is blocked.

WARNING:

In cold and severe

weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance.

WARNING:

If damage occurs in the

immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.

Note:

If your vehicle sustains damage

leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.

When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,
the rear parking aid detects the trailer and
provides an alert. Disable the parking aid
when you connect a trailer to prevent the
alert.

Note:

Certain add-on devices installed

around the bumper or fascia may create
false alerts, for example, large trailer
hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate
brackets, bumper covers or any other device
that could block the normal detection zone
of the parking aid system. Aftermarket spare
tires or spare tire covers mounted to the rear
tailgate could cause false alerts from the
park aid system. Remove the add-on device
to prevent false alerts.

Note:

Keep the sensors free from snow, ice

and large accumulations of dirt. If the
sensors are covered, the system's accuracy
can be affected.

Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.
