Speed-dependent steering wheelresistance
Speed-dependent power steering increases thesteering wheel resistance in pace with the vehi-cle's speed to give the driver an enhanced feel-ing of control and stability.
Steering may feel stiffer on highways. Whenparking and at low speeds, it will be easier tomove the steering wheel.
NOTE
In rare situations, the power steer-ing may become too hot andrequire temporary cooling – duringsuch time the power steering willwork at reduced output and the steeringwheel may feel more difficult to move.
When steering assistance is temporarilyreduced, the message Power steeringAssistance temporarily reduced and thissymbol will appear on the driver display.
While the power steering is working atreduced power, the driver support functionsand systems with steering assistance are notavailable.
