It is also important to maintain a proper power steering fluid level in the

power steering fluid reservoir:

• Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level.

See Power steering fluid in the Maintenance and Specifications

chapter.

• 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 Power

steering fluid in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

If the power steering system breaks down (or if the engine is 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

AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

The air suspension system is designed to improve ride, handling and

general vehicle performance during:

• Certain road conditions

• Steering maneuvers

• Braking

• Accelerations

This system keeps the rear of your vehicle at a constant level by

automatically adding air or releasing air from the springs.

If you exceed the load limit, the rear air suspension may not operate.
