WARNING
The gear change recommendation is an
auxiliary function and in no case should be
a substitute for car
eful driving.
●

gear, depending on the circumstances,
rests solely with the driver.
For the sake of the environment
Selecting the correct gear can help to save
fuel.
Note
The recommended gear indication turns off
when the clutch pedal is pressed or when
the lever is removed from the tiptronic posi-
tion.
Steering
Information relating to diff
erent ve-
hicle processes.
Electro-mechanical power steering adapts
electronically to the speed of the car
, torque
and steering angle.
Even if the power steering fails or the engine
is stopped, it is possible to continue to rotate
the steering wheel as long as the key remains
in the ignition lock, but more force must be
applied.
Progressive steering
Depending on the vehicle’s features, it may or
may not incorporate a progressive steering
system.
In city traffic you do not need to turn so much
on parking, manoeuvring or in very tight turns.
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.
Steering assist
This help assists the driver in critical situa-
tions. It recommends turning the st
eering
wheel to perform a corrective manoeuvre
(counter-steering), turning slightly to avoid
skidding

.
WARNING
Steering assist helps the driver in critical
situations. The driver is the person who has
to control the v
ehicle's steering at all times.
