If your vehicle loses electrical power while

you are driving (or if you switch the ignition

off), you can steer your vehicle manually,

but it takes more effort. Extreme

continuous steering may increase the effort

it takes for you to steer. This occurs to

prevent internal overheating and

permanent damage to your steering

system. If this should occur, you will neither

lose the ability to steer your vehicle

manually nor will it cause permanent

damage. Typical steering and driving

maneuvers allows the system to cool and

steering assist to return to normal.

Steering Tips

If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:

•

An improperly inflated tire.

•

Uneven tire wear.

•

Loose or worn suspension

components.

•

Loose or worn steering components.

•

Improper vehicle alignment.

A high crown in the road or high crosswinds

may also make the steering seem to

wander or pull.

Adaptive Learning

The electronic power steering system

adaptive learning helps correct road

irregularities and improves overall handling

and steering feel. It communicates with

the brake system to help operate

advanced stability control and accident

avoidance systems. Additionally, whenever

the battery is disconnected or a new

battery installed, you must drive your

vehicle a short distance before the system

relearns the strategy and reactivates all

systems.

COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

(If

Equipped)

WARNINGS

This system is designed to be a

supplementary driving aid. It is not

intended to replace the driver’s

attention, and judgment, or the need to

apply the brakes. This system does NOT

activate the brakes automatically. Failure

to press the brake pedal to activate the

brakes may result in a collision.

The collision warning system with

brake support cannot help prevent

all collisions. Do not rely on this

system to replace driver judgment and the

need to maintain distance and speed.

Note:

The system does not detect, warn or

respond to potential collisions with vehicles

to the rear or sides of the vehicle.

Note:

The collision warning system is active

at speeds above approximately 5 mph (8

km/h).

E156130

This system is designed to alert the driver

of certain collision risks. A radar detects if

your vehicle is rapidly approaching another

vehicle traveling in the same direction as

yours.
