DRIVER SUPPORT
Driving support systems
The car is equipped with different driver support
systems which can assist the driver in different
situations, either actively or passively.
For example, the systems can help the driver to:
maintain a set speed
•
maintain a certain time interval to the vehicle
•
ahead
prevent a collision by giving a warning to the
•
driver and braking the car
help the driver to park.
•
Some of the systems are fitted as standard while
others are options – which alternative applies is
market dependent.

Speed-dependent steering force
Speed related power steering causes the steer-
ing wheel force to increase with the speed of the
car in order to give the driver enhanced sensitiv-
ity.
On motorways the steering feels firmer. When
parking and at low speed steering is light and
requires only a slight effort.
NOTE
In certain situations the power steering may
become too hot and then needs to be tempo-
rarily cooled - during this time the power
steering operates with reduced power and
turning the steering wheel may then be per-
ceived to be slightly heavier.
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 steering assistance system are not availa-
ble.
In such a situation, the driver display shows
Power steering failure
the message, com-
bined with a STEERING WHEEL symbol.
