STEERING

To prevent damage to the power steering system:

Never hold the steering wheel at its furthest turning points (until it
stops) for more than a few seconds when the engine is running

Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level
(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).

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

Do not fill the power steering pump reservoir above the MAX mark on
the reservoir, as this may result in leaks from the reservoir.

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

PREPARING TO DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE

Your vehicle has special design and equipment features to make it
capable of performing in a wide variety of circumstances. These special
design features, such as larger tires and increased ground clearance, give
the vehicle a higher center of gravity than a passenger car.
