DRIVER SUPPORT
Driver support systems
The vehicle is equipped with a number of driver
support systems that can provide the driver with
active or passive assistance in various situations.
The systems can, for example, help the driver:
• maintain a set speed
• maintain a set time interval to the vehicle
ahead
• help prevent a collision by warning the driver
and applying the brakes
•
park the vehicle.
Some of the systems are standard and others are
options. This also varies from market to market.

Speed-dependent steering wheel
resistance
Speed-dependent power steering increases the
steering wheel resistance in pace with the vehi-
cle's speed to give the driver an enhanced feel-
ing of control and stability.
Steering may feel stiffer on highways. When
parking and at low speeds, it will be easier to
move the steering wheel.
NOTE
In rare situations, the power steer-
ing may become too hot and
require temporary cooling – during
such time the power steering will
work at reduced output and the steering
wheel may feel more difficult to move.
When steering assistance is temporarily
Power steering
reduced, the message
Assistance temporarily reduced
symbol will appear on the driver display.
While the power steering is working at
reduced power, the driver support functions
and systems with steering assistance are not
available.
