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 Checkin g and
addin g power steer in g fluid in the Main ten ance and Specifica tion s
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

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 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. Apply the parking brake, turn ignition key to LOCK, then remove the
key.
2.
Insert the key and turn it to OFF. Apply the br ake pe da l and shift
to N (Neutral) .
When the key is in the ignition and in the OFF position, the
automatic transmission shift lever can be moved from the P
(
Park) position without the brake pedal depressed. To avoid unwanted
vehicle movement, always set the parking brake.
3.
Start the vehicle.
