2
Adjusting the steering wheel
The steering wheel height and, de-
pending on the vehicle, depth can be
adjusted.
Push the lever 1 downwards and set
the steering wheel to the desired posi-
tion, then raise the lever to lock the
steering wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments
while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
Power-assisted steering
Never drive with an inadequately
charged battery.
Special case
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a battery fault (disconnected, dis-
charged battery, etc.), the power-as-
sisted steering wheel angle must be
reset. To do this:
– the vehicle stationary and on flat
ground;
– with the driver alone in the vehicle,
start the engine: the warning
light and/or, depending on the vehicle,
the"Turnsteer.wheelmaxright-left"
message are/is displayed on the in-
strument panel;
– turn the steering wheel fully to the
left and then to the right, applying force
when it arrives at the stop. Switch off
the engine and wait for around a
minute. when the engine next starts,
the indicator light and/or, depending on
vehicle, the message will switch off.
Never leave the steering
wheel on full lock when the
vehicle is stationary.
Special feature of the Stop and Start
(depending on the vehicle)
With the engine on standby, power-as-
sisted steering is no longer opera-
tional. It returns to its original state
when the engine is restarted or as
soon as the speed is above 0.62 mph
(1 km/h) (hill, slope, etc.).
With the engine switched
off, or if there is a system
fault, it is still possible to
turn the steering wheel. The force
required will be greater.
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling
downhill, and avoid do-
ing so in normal driving
(power steering and brake servo
will not function).
