Steering wheel/Power steering

Steering wheel height and reach adjustment

Pull lever 1 and position the steering wheel as required; push the lever beyond the stop point to lock the steering wheel.

Make sure the steering wheel is properly locked.

For safety reasons, make this adjustment with the vehicle stationary.

Power steering

Never drive with a weakly charged battery.

Variable assist steering

The variable-assistance power steering has an electronic control system that adjusts the level of assistance according to vehicle speed.

The steering is lighter when manoeuvring for parking (for greater comfort), while the effort increases progressively as speed increases (for better safety at high speed).

Do not hold the steering wheel at full lock against the stop when stationary.

With the engine off or if the system fails, the steering wheel can still be turned. More effort will be required.

Never switch off the engine when going downhill or, in general, while driving (power steering assistance will be lost).
