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 some situations, the power steering may
become too hot and require temporary cool-
ing – during such time the power steering will
work at reduced output and the steering
wheel may feel more difficult to move.
In parallel with the temporarily reduced steer-
ing assistance, the driver display shows a
message as well as a STEERING WHEEL
symbol.
WARNING
While the power steering is working at
reduced power, the driver support functions
and systems with steering assistance are not
available.
In such a situation, the driver display shows
the Power steering failure message, com-
bined with a STEERING WHEEL symbol.
