Steering

Steering wheel

WARNING
For safety reasons, only adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is stationary.
WARNING
Never switch off the ignition when travelling downhill, and avoid doing so in normal driving (power steering and brake servo will not function).

Adjusting the steering wheel height and depth

Pull the lever 1 and set the steering wheel to the required position, then push the lever beyond the point of resistance to lock the steering wheel in place.
Make sure that the steering wheel is correctly locked.
Tip
With the ignition switched off, or if there is a system fault, it is still possible to turn the steering wheel. The force required will be greater.

Power-assisted steering

Never drive with an inadequately charged battery.

Variable power assisted steering

The variable power-assisted steering system is equipped with an electronic control system which alters the level of assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking manoeuvres (for added comfort) while the force needed to steer increases progressively as the speed rises (for enhanced safety at high speeds).
