It is also important to maintain a proper power steering fluid level in the
power steering fluid reservoir:

Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level.
See

Checking and adding power steering fluid

in the

Maintenance

and Specifications

chapter.

Some noise is normal during operation. If the noise is excessive, check
for low power steering pump fluid level before seeking service by your
authorized dealer.

Heavy or uneven steering efforts may be caused by low power steering
pump fluid level. Check for low power steering pump fluid level before
seeking service by your authorized dealer.

Do not fill the power steering pump reservoir above the maximum
level, as this may result in leaks from the reservoir. See

Checking and

adding power steering fluid

in the

Maintenance and Specifications

chapter.

If the power steering system breaks down (or if the engine is turned
off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more effort.

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 steering alignment

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE OPERATION

Brake-shift interlock

This vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock feature that prevents
the gearshift lever from being moved from P (Park) when the ignition is
in the ON position unless the brake pedal is depressed.

If you cannot move the gearshift lever out of P (Park) with ignition in
the ON position and the brake pedal depressed:

1. Remove the trim ring around the gearshift lever.
