Instruments and Controls
Electric Power Steering
If the electric power assisted steering fails or
cannot operate the steering will appear very
heavy, this will effect driving safety.
The electric power assisted steering system only works
when the engine is running. The system operates via a
motor with assistance levels automatically adjusted based
on vehicle speed, steering wheel torque and steering wheel
angle.
IMPORTANT
Holding the steering wheel on full lock for long periods
will result in a reduction in power assistance causing a
heavier feel to the steering for a small period of time.
Steering Mode Switching
*
Users can switch the steering mode according to their
needs
， please refer to "Driving Mode" in the "Starting &
Driving" section
。
1 Normal: provides moderate power assistance.
2 Comfort: provides a high level of assistance, with a
light feel.
3 Sport: provides low level power assistance, with a
heavier feel.
Note: Steering mode selection is only available at
speeds up to 60 mph (100km/h) and when the steering
wheel is not being turned. Any changes made whilst
in either of these states will not take effect until
the speed decreases or the steering wheel is straight
ahead.
