Start and driving
In cit y traffic you do not need to turn so much
on parking, manoeuvring or in v ery tight t
urns.
On the road or on the motorway, progressive
steering transmits, for example, in bends, a
sportier, more direct and noticeably more dy-
namic driving sensation.
Power-assisted steering
Power-assisted steering helps the driver in
critical situations. It recommends the rotation
direction of the steering wheel to perform a
corrective manoeuvre (counter-steering),
thereby causing a small turn of the wheel in
the correct direction to avoid skidding

ects the possible
lines dividing the lanes. When the vehicle in-
voluntarily approaches a dividing line it has
detected, the system notifies the driver with a
corrective steering movement. The purpose is
not only to warn the driver, but also to keep
the vehicle inside the lane. This movement
can be over-regulated at any time.
No warning is produced with the turn signals
activated, given that the Lane Assist system
