Your car has been designed to provide a responsive and intuitive steering experience. Be sure to adjust your driving posture and select your preferred steering feel before driving.
Tip
Steering and driver support interactions
Several of your car's driver support features can affect the steering. Read the manual sections about these features for a more complete understanding of how they can interact with and affect your steering experience.
Speed-dependent steering response
The steering resistance and firmness change with the speed of the car. At low speeds, steering resistance is low for precision manoeuvring. At high speeds, the steering adapts to be firmer.
Steering feel
You can adjust the steering feel via the settings in the centre display. Steering feel affects the firmness of the steering wheel's turning.
Steering-related faults
If you notice that your steering wheel is abnormally firm, or if steering-related features1 are not available or working properly, this can be due to a fault related to the steering system.
If your car notices a steering-related fault it will notify you with a message in one, or both, of the displays. Be sure to read and follow the instructions in the message.
