NOTE:

The stabilizer/sway bar may be torque locked due

to left and right suspension height differences. This condi-

tion is due to driving surface differences or vehicle loading.

In order for the stabilizer/sway bar to disconnect/

reconnect, the right and left halves of the bar must be

aligned. This alignment may require that the vehicle be

driven onto level ground or rocked from side to side.
To return to on-road mode, push the SWAY BAR switch

again.

WARNING!

If the stabilizer/sway bar will not return to on-road
mode, the “Sway Bar Indicator Light” will flash in the
instrument cluster and vehicle stability is greatly re-
duced. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle over 18 mph
(29 km/h). Driving faster than 18 mph (29 km/ h) may
cause loss of control of the vehicle, which could result
in serious injury. Contact your local authorized dealer
for assistance.

POWER STEERING

The standard power steering system will give you good

vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability in

tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical steering

capability if power assist is lost.
If for some reason the power assist is interrupted, it will

still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these condi-

tions, 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 do not indicate that

there is a problem with the power steering system.

Upon initial start-up in cold weather, the power steering

pump may make noise for a short amount of time. This

is due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering system. This

noise should be considered normal, and it does not in

any way damage the steering system.
