Counter-steering assistance
Counter-steering assistance is part of Electronic Stability Control
(ESC). This feature makes it easier for the driver to control the
vehicle in difficult situations. For example, if you have to brake hard
on a surface that provides uneven traction, the vehicle could pull to
the right or left. ESC detects this situation and helps the driver
counter-steer with additional steering power →
  .
Progressive steering
Depending on vehicle equipment, progressive steering can adjust
the force of the steering movement in a driving situation.
Progressive steering only works when the engine is running.
In city traffic, less steering input is required when parking,
maneuvering, or turning sharply.
When driving on country roads or highways, the progressive
steering provides a more sporty, direct steering response and a
more dynamic feel.
