STEERING

Hydraulic Power Steering

To help prevent damage to the power steering system:

  • Do not hold the steering wheel at its furthest turning points for more than three to five seconds when the engine is running.
  • Avoid continuously steering back and forth with elevated engine RPM as this may overheat the system. If trying to free a stuck vehicle, pause between attempts to allow the power steering system to cool or seek assistance. Typical steering and driving maneuvers allow the system to cool.
  • Do not operate the vehicle if the power steering pump fluid level is below the MIN mark on the reservoir.
  • Some noise is normal during operation. If excessive, check for low power steering pump fluid level before seeking service by your dealer. Heavy or uneven efforts may be caused by low power steering fluid.
  • 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 you switch the engine off, you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more effort. If you have any steering components serviced or replaced, install new fasteners. Many fasteners have coatings with thread adhesive or have prevailing torque features you cannot reuse. Do not reuse a bolt or nut. Torque fasteners to specifications.

Steering Tips

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 vehicle alignment.

Note: A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may also make the steering seem to wander or pull
