The steering system

only when the engine is running.
The electromechanical power steering system automatically adjusts to driving speed, steering torque,
and the steering angle of the wheels. It delivers extra steering force only when you are actually turn‐
ing the wheels.
In vehicles with 4MOTION Active Control, the selected driving mode can affect the steering behavior

Electronic steering column lock (vehicles with Keyless Access)
In vehicles with a starter button, the steering column is locking electronically:
Bring the vehicle to a stop and shift the transmission to Park (P).
Switch off the ignition and then open the driver door. The steering column is locked.
If the steering column should not be locked, first open the driver door, and then switch off the ignition.
To then lock the steering column, lock the vehicle with the vehicle key bit, the emergency key, or via
the sensors in the door handles.
