Steering

Power Steering

If you lose power steering assist because the engine

stops or the system is not functioning, you can steer but

it will take much more effort.

Variable Effort Steering

Your vehicle has a steering system that continuously

adjusts the effort you feel when steering at all vehicle

speeds. It provides ease when parking, yet a ﬁrm,

solid feel at highway speeds.

Steering Tips

It is important to take curves at a reasonable speed.

A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned on

the news happen on curves. Here is why:

Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is subject

to the same laws of physics when driving on curves.

The traction of the tires against the road surface makes

it possible for the vehicle to change its path when you

turn the front wheels. If there is no traction, inertia will

keep the vehicle going in the same direction. If you

have ever tried to steer a vehicle on wet ice, you will

understand this.

The traction you can get in a curve depends on the

condition of the tires and the road surface, the angle

at which the curve is banked, and your speed. While you

are in a curve, speed is the one factor you can control.

Suppose you are steering through a sharp curve.

Then you suddenly accelerate. Both control

systems — steering and acceleration — have to do their

work where the tires meet the road. Adding the sudden

acceleration can demand too much of those places. You

can lose control. See StabiliTrak

System on page 4-5.

What should you do if this ever happens? Ease up

on the accelerator pedal, steer the vehicle the way you

want it to go, and slow down.

Speed limit signs near curves warn that you should

adjust your speed. Of course, the posted speeds

are based on good weather and road conditions. Under

less favorable conditions you will want to go slower.

If you need to reduce your speed as you approach

a curve, do it before you enter the curve, while the

front wheels are straight ahead.

Try to adjust your speed so you can drive through

the curve. Maintain a reasonable, steady speed.

Wait to accelerate until you are out of the curve,

and then accelerate gently into the straightaway.

Adding non-dealer/non-retailer accessories can affect

your vehicle’s performance. See Accessories and

Modiﬁcations on page 5-3.
