If the warning light flashes for 1 minute while driving or after switching on the

WARNING
f there is a fault in the cornering lights, the headlights are automatically
lowered to the emergency position. Thus the illuminated length of the road
is shortened. Drive carefully and have the car inspected immediately by a
specialist garage.
Electrohydraulic power steering
The warning light  comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
If the warning light after switching on the ignition or when driving lights up contin-

If the yellow warning light lights up, this indicates a partial or total failure of the
power steering and the steering forces can be greater.
Further information ⇒ page 160.
WARNING
Contact your specialist garage if the power steering is defective.
