If the “SERVICE POWER STEERING SYSTEM”

message and a flashing icon are displayed on

the EVIC screen, it indicates that the vehicle

needs to be taken to the dealer for service. It is

likely the vehicle has lost power steering assistance. Refer

to “Electronic Vehicle Information (EVIC)” in “Under-

standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
If the “POWER STEERING SYSTEM OVER TEMP” mes-

sage and an icon are displayed on the EVIC screen, it

indicates that extreme steering maneuvers may have

occurred, which caused an over temperature condition in

the power steering system. You will lose power steering

assistance momentarily until the over temperature con-

dition no longer exists. Once driving conditions are safe,

then pull over and let vehicle idle for a few moments

until the light turns off. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle

Information (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument

Panel” for further information.

NOTE:

• Even if power steering assistance is no longer opera-

tional, it is still possible to steer the vehicle. Under

these conditions there will be a substantial increase in

steering effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds

and during parking maneuvers.

• If the condition persists, see your authorized dealer for

service.
