Start and driving
Even if the power steering fails or the engine
is st
opped, it is possibl
e t
o continue t
o r
otate
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 steering
wheel to perform a corrective manoeuvre
(counter-steering), turning slightly to avoid
skidding
