Steering
Steering wheel
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.
Power-assisted steering
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).
Note: the power-assisted steering depends on the driving mode selected.
(Refer to "Choice of driving mode" in Section 2)
WARNING
For safety reasons, only adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is stationary.
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).
