STARTING AND OPERATING 63 WARNING! Always engage the parking brake when powering down the vehicle if the ؆SVC 4WD؆ light is illuminated. Not engaging the parking brake may allow the vehicle to roll, which may cause personal injury. POWER STEERING Your vehicle is equipped with an electro-hydraulic power steering system that will give you good vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will vary its assist to provide light efforts while parking and good feel while driving. If the electrohydraulic power steering system experiences a fault that prevents it from providing power steering assist, the system will provide mechanical steering capability. CAUTION! Operation in very high temperatures with a high level of steering activity may cause the electrically driven pump to reduce or stop assist in order to prevent damage to the system. Normal operation will resume once the system is allowed to cool. If for some reason the power assist is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these conditions 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 does not indicate that there is a problem with the power steering system. 5
