Steering wheel

Adjusting the steering wheel height and depth

Lower the lever 1 and set the steering wheel to the required position.

Then, raise the lever fully, beyond the point of resistance to lock the steering wheel.

Make sure that the steering wheel is correctly locked.

warning

For safety reasons, only adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is stationary.

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).

Stop and Start feature

Depending on the vehicle, when the engine switches to standby, the steering assistance may no longer be operational. In this case, it returns to its original state when the engine is restarted or when the speed exceeds approximately .62 mph (1 km/h) (hill, slope, etc.).

Note: the power-assisted steering depends on the driving mode selected in the MULTI-SENSE" menu (MULTI-SENSE).

tip

Never leave the steering wheel on full lock when the vehicle is stationary.

tip

With the engine switched off, or if there is a system fault, it is still possible to turn the steering wheel. The force required will be greater.

warning

Never switch off the ignition when travelling downhill, and avoid doing so in normal driving (power steering and brake servo will not function).
