Driver support
On motorways the steering is firmer. When parking and at low speed steering is light and requires less effort.
Note
In rare 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. Then the message Power steering Assistance temporarily reduced and this symbol are shown in the driver display.
While the power steering is working at reduced power, the driver support functions and steering assistance system are not available.
Warning
If the temperature increases too much, the servo may be forced to switch off completely. In such a situation, the driver display shows the Power steering failure Stop safely message, combined with a symbol.
