UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 267 • Power Steering System Over Temperature - If Equipped If the "POWER STEERING SYSTEM OVER TEMP" message and a 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 condition no longer exists. Once driving conditions are safe, then pull over and let vehicle idle. After five minutes, the system will cool and return to normal operation. Refer to "Power Steering" in "Starting and Operating" for further information. NOTE: • Even if power steering assistance is no longer operational, 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. EVIC Amber Telltale Lights This area will show reconfigurable amber caution telltales. These telltales include: • Forward Collision Warning (FCW) OFF This light warns the driver of a potential collision with the vehicle in front of you and prompts the driver to take action in order to avoid the collision. For further information, refer to "Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)" in "Understanding The Features Of Your Vehicle". 4
