Height and reach adjustment
(reach adjustment depending on the
vehicle)
Pull lever 1 and move the steering
wheel to the desired position; then,
push lever 1 fully back in, beyond the
point of resistance, to lock the steer-
ing wheel.
do not apply too much pressure to the
steering wheel when the steering wheel
is adjusted. This may damage the
steering wheel support.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Variable power-assisted
steering
The variable power-assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).
Never leave the steering wheel at
full lock while stationary.
With the engine switched off, or if
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The
force required will be greater.
