STEERING WHEEL
2
Power-assisted steering
Never drive with an inadequately
charged 12V battery.
Variable power assisted steering
The variable power-assisted steer-
ing system is equipped with an elec-
tronic control system which alters
the level of assistance to suit the ve-
hicle speed.
Steering is made easier during park-
ing manoeuvres (for added comfort)
while the force needed to steer in-
creases progressively as the speed
rises (for enhanced safety at high
speeds).
Never leave the steering
wheel on full lock when
the vehicle is stationary.
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 ig-
nition when travelling
downhill, and avoid do-
ing so in normal driving
(power steering and brake ser-
vo will not function).
