Cold Activation

ep4 dm 12.01.001

When the ambient air temperature is below 32°F (0°C), the power steering pumps go into cold activation mode. The driver is notified by the cautionary low temperature window shown in Fig. .

In Cold Activation mode the speed of the power steering pumps is limited until the motors warm up. Power steering and adaptive power steering (APS) are available, but steering requires more effort.
