POWER STEERING
Never drive with an inadequately-
charged battery.
Variable power assisted steering
The variable assistance power
steering has an electronic
management system that adapts
the level of assistance to the vehicle
speed.
Steering is made easier during
parking manoeuvres (for added
comfort) whilst the force needed
to steer rises progressively as speed
increases (for enhanced safety at
high speeds).
Never switch off the
ignition when travelling
downhill, and avoid
doing so in normal
driving (power steering and
brake servo will not function).
