Rear wheel steering
On equipped vehicles, this system,
when the vehicle is being driven, steers
the rear wheels according to driving
conditions: at low speed this system
offers manoeuvrability, at higher speeds
it optimises stability.
When driving at low speeds, the rear
wheels steer in the opposite direction to
the front wheels (figure A) to increase
the vehicle’s manoeuvrability. This is
used when driving in towns, on winding
roads, during parking manoeuvres, etc. When driving at higher speeds, the rear
wheels steer in the same direction as
the front wheels (figure B
) to optimise
the vehicle’s stability. This is useful
when changing lanes or when corner-
ing etc.
Note: The system configuration (agil-
ity, etc.) depends on the mode selected
in the “Multi-sense” menu (please refer
to the information on “Multi-sense” in
Section 3). Operating faults

© warning light, together
with the message “Check power
steering”, is displayed on the instru-
ment panel: please contact an au-
thorised dealer.

®, together
with the message “Power steering

panel, this indicates a fault in the
system.

as soon as traffic conditions
allow. Contact an approved

An impact to the underside of the
vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furniture) may
result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.:
deformation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
