To make it more difficult to steal the vehicle, the steering must always be locked before leaving the vehicle.
Steering
Power steering on an electromechanical steering system adjusts automatically based on the driving speed, the steering torque, and the steering angle of the wheels. Electromechanical steering works only when the vehicle's drive system is activated.
If the power steering system is impaired or malfunctioning, a significantly greater amount of force than normal must be used to steer
Electronic steering lock
The steering column is locked electronically:
Countersteering assist
The counter-steering assistance provides the driver with power steering in
some critical driving situations. Additional
steering power, together with the ESC
, supports the driver when counter-steering →
.
WARNING
Power steering only works when the vehicle is ready to drive. If the power steering is not functioning, the steering wheel becomes stiff, making it much more difficult to steer. That can result in loss of control of the vehicle, accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
WARNING
The counter-steering assistance is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. In critical driving situations, uncontrolled vehicle movements can occur despite the counter-steering assistance. If you do not pay attention, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.
