Speed-dependent steering wheel resistance
Steering may feel stiffer on highways. When parking and at low speeds, it will be easier to move the steering wheel.
Note
In some situations, the power steering may become too hot and require temporary cooling – during such time the power steering will work at reduced output and the steering wheel may feel more difficult to move.
In parallel with the temporarily reduced steering assistance, the driver display shows a message as well as a STEERING WHEEL symbol.
Warning
While the power steering is working at reduced power, the driver support functions and systems with steering assistance are not available.
In such a situation, the driver display shows the Power steering failure message, combined with a STEERING WHEEL symbol.
Changing the level of steering wheel resistance*
To change the level of steering wheel resistance, see the description of the INDIVIDUAL option under "Available drive modes" in the "Drive modes" section.
On models not equipped with drive mode controls and the INDIVIDUAL option, steering wheel resistance can instead be set in the center display's Top view under:
Steering wheel resistance settings cannot be accessed when turning at speeds above 10 km/h (6 mph).
