Adjustable steering force*
Speed related power steering causes the steering wheel force to increase with the speed of the car in order to give the driver enhanced sensitivity.
On motorways the steering feels firmer. Steering is light and requires no extra effort when parking and at low speed.
The driver can choose between three different levels of steering force for road responsiveness or steering sensitivity in the menu system MY CAR MY CAR:
- Once there, search for Steering force level and select Low, Medium or High.
This setting is not accessible when the car is moving.
Note
In certain situations the power steering may become too hot and then needs to be temporarily cooled - during this time the power steering operates with reduced power and turning the steering wheel may then be perceived to be slightly heavier.
In parallel with the temporarily reduced steering assistance the combined instrument panel shows a message.
