Driving and Operating

If the vehicle seems harder to steer
than normal when parking or driving
slowly, there may be a problem with
the system. You will still have power
steering, but steering will be stiffer
than normal at slow speeds. See
your dealer for service.

Hydraulic Power Steering

If your vehicle has hydraulic power
steering, it may require
maintenance. See

Power Steering

Fluid on page 10

.

If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops, or there
is a system malfunction, the vehicle
can be steered but may require
increased effort. See your dealer if
there is a problem.

Curve Tips

.

Take curves at a reasonable
speed.

.

Reduce speed before entering a
curve.

.

Maintain a reasonable, steady
speed through the curve.

.

Wait until the vehicle is out of
the curve before accelerating
gently into the straightaway.

Steering in Emergencies

.

There are some situations when
steering around a problem may
be more effective than braking.

.

Holding both sides of the
steering wheel allows you to turn
180 degrees without removing
a hand.

.

Antilock Brake System (ABS)
allows steering while braking.

Off-Road Recovery

The vehicle's right wheels can drop
off the edge of a road onto the
shoulder while driving. Follow
these tips:

1. Ease off the accelerator and

then, if there is nothing in the
way, steer the vehicle so that it
straddles the edge of the
pavement.

2. Turn the steering wheel about

one-eighth of a turn, until the
right front tire contacts the
pavement edge.
